Happy Winter!

Casa Caponetti Olive Oil Tasting Dinners
Slow Food Westchester and Slow Food Hudson Valley are pleased to offer a series of dinners inspired by Casa Caponetti Olive Oil. The olive oil produced by Lorenzo Caponetti is extra virgin and the highest quality. It is made from canino olives, a variety hard to find in the United States but abundant in the Tuscana region of Italy. While grassy, pungent and floral components are always present, the specific flavor profiles of the oil changes year to year, depending on the weather. Lorenzo Caponetti manages both the orchard and the extraction of the oil with focus on the highest, most healthful product possible. This oil is used as a finishing oil — drizzled over greens, for instance — rather than a cooking oil. Unlike wine, olive oil is best consumed as close to the harvest and extraction as possible.
Space is limited for each of these dinners so please make your reservations as early as possible.
