9 March 2025 | Olive Oil Workshop, Singapore

 

Here’s what we’ve planned for you! 

We hope to provide you a comfortable and safe environment to ask any questions you like. Our main aim is that you weave your learning experiences into your daily lives and nutrition. There will be three parts to this interactive experience.


Part 1: What is Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)? ~20 minutes

Learn in a short briefing about what exactly is “Extra Virgin” from a quality grading perspective. Join in a tasting exercise to discover what EVOO should taste like.  

Part 2: Taste EVOO from around the world ~ 30-40 minutes

Enjoy a guided tasting of up to 3 EVOO’s from three different continents. Enjoy a simple food pairing snack as you let your taste buds explore. 

Part 3: “Shopping simulation” ~ 15-25 minutes

We know putting what you’ve learnt into practice in your daily lives is important to you. We will take a short walk together to two grocery stores about 5 minutes away from the venue so we can continue to share tips with you. What better way than to discuss while "window shopping"!

Our Inspirations

  • Mother Nature

    A deeply held principle for us is that we do not own the land we farm and build on, but merely
    guardians of Mother Nature’s gift on earth. The native flora and fauna that surround our olive grove offer lessons of resilience and adaptability of life. We take it upon ourselves to always root the experiences we create to the land and surroundings where olive oil comes from, where things are not always picture perfect and can be truly challenging.

  • People We Meet

    We learn most from people and their stories. We love questions from our customers, seeing it as a way to create mutually beneficial experiences. We love it when our neighbours drop by at our olive grove in New Zealand – their farming wisdom always leaves us smarter. Above all, we draw our deepest inspiration from olive growers working their land around the world. Their pride and passion embody the spirit of who we aspire to be at Olive Oil People.

  • Food Cultures

    Food brings people of various walks of life together in a way that’s personal and intimate. Our
    personal food philosophy is shaped by our life experiences having lived and worked in diverse cultural settings in North America, South East Asia, East Asia and Oceania. Instead of seeing differences, we often find similarities in ingredients and flavours across cuisines. We bring this inclusive approach to the way we present our olive oil learning experiences. We believe great olive oil has a place in every cuisine, some just waiting to be revealed.
