EP #28 Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Olive Oil, with Jennifer Thornton

Jennifer Thornton just returned  from France where she hung out with a woman known as the "Queen of Olive Oil," who happens to be a friends of hers.  She has been a friend of mine for a while, but even I had no idea about the depth of her olive oil knowledge until now! Jennifer is known locally as the creator and owner of Buttercream & Olive Oil, a culinary company that is dedicated to using local, seasonal, and organic ingredients, with a particular affinity for French foods and cooking style and all kinds of things she learned while living in Paris and the South of France over five years. She's known for classes on French macarons, pastries and croissants but it is her Olive Oil Discovery class that piqued my interest in talking with her.  When in France she spent time harvesting olives and learned about how pure French olive oil was made. Then she traveled Europe as an olive oil judge!  We talk about this exquisite ingredient and all of the things we should know as consumers. We also get a little science-y...but I promise, you will love it! Learn more about Jennifer at Buttercream & Olive Oil and give her social channels a follow.
