Olive and Herb: As Fresh as it Gets

 https://zoom.us/j/964291657

Lori Hackman, local olive oil expert, and owner of Olive and Herb will talk about easy, inexpensive ways to incorporate extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) in your diet and share tips for cooking and baking with olive oil.

Her business orders extra fresh virgin olive oil directly from small farms in Italy, about an hour from Rome.  At her store she stocks 16 different types of olive oil in stainless steel vats called fustis. The oil is not bottled for customers in advance. After you’ve tasted and selected what you want, the oil is bottled in front of you –making it the freshest olive oil around.

Lori’s store, formerly known as The Oilerie, has a new sign sporting its new name- Olive and Herb -since herbs pair beautifully with her olive oils.

Her shop has been a popular go-to destination in the Prairie Lakes location for about seven years. She recently revitalized and rebranded the olive oil destination. “We have the same products (and some new ones), same owner, and same location but with a new name, “ she said.
