What Makes It Uncommon

keyboard_arrow_up

Like wine and whiskey, finely crafted extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar become even more enjoyable when you know how to detect and understand their distinct flavor profiles. All you need is the right teacher—like Tabatha Conarko. As an olive oil sensory evaluator certified by Italy’s Organizzazione Nazionale Assaggiatori Olio di Oliva, and importer of some of the world’s best oils and balsamic vinegars, Tabatha has created this well-stocked set to teach the palate-curious the subtleties of sampling and appreciating the classic duo just like a professional taster.

  • Set includes:
    • Two varieties of single-origin extra-virgin olive oil.
    • 18- and 25-year aged balsamic vinegars.
    • Sweet and savory tasting palate cleansers (shortbread cookies and olive oil crackers).
    • Four tasting cups, a tasting wheel, sheet, and menu.
    • Complete tasting instructions.
  • Certified gluten free, kosher, non-GMO, and organic.
  • Gift-boxed.
  • Made in Texas from globally sourced ingredients.
Make it An Uncommon Experience: This set is included with our Olive Oil & Balsamic Tasting Class, a one-hour live virtual experience with Tabatha as expert instructor.

Tabatha Conarko

Tabatha Conarko's journey into olive oil and balsamic vinegar began with wanting to bring the flavors of European markets to her home in Austin, Texas. Transitioning from a 20-year career in IT, Tabatha earned her professional olive oil tasting certification from the prestigious Organizzazione Nazionale Assaggiatori Olio di Oliva, launched the first premium olive oil tasting bar in Austin, and founded a company that sources olive oil and balsamic vinegar from ethical producers around the world. In addition to traveling and cultivating relationships with global producers, Tabatha has been hosting tasting classes for over 15 years. "I love to watch people's faces and hear their feedback once they've tasted a fresh extra-virgin olive oil for the first time," she says. "It's life-changing and the reason I do what I do."
