Swirl, Sniff, Slurp and Swallow – An Olive Oil Tasting

The Creators

Sciabica Family’s California Olive Oil has been producing olive oil in California since 1936. Originally from Marsala, Sicily, the Sciabica family has passed down the knowledge of olive oil production for four generations.

In the 1980s, the family pioneered “single varietal” olive oils, keeping individual olive types separate (just like wine). In the 1990s, the family again blazed a new path with “fresh flavored” olive oil. Today, Sciabica continues the family tradition of making the highest quality 100% Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil.
