I have been buying olive oil from Olivoteque for several years now, and the quality is just in a completely different league than what you find in the supermarket. Catherine's guidance has taught me to use different oils for different dishes - it has completely changed my cooking. I highly recommend Knolive Epicur for salads!
Ordered a gift basket for my wife who loves cooking. Catherine helped me put together the perfect basket with organic oils from Italy and Spain. My wife absolutely loved it and now we are both Olivoteque customers. Great service and fast delivery!
We went on the olive harvest trip to Tuscany in October - wow! It was an incredible experience to see the whole process from tree to bottle. Catherine's passion and knowledge is infectious, and we got to taste oils we would never have found ourselves. We came home with a suitcase full of beautiful oils and memories to last a lifetime.
Had Olivoteque for a company event where Catherine did an olive oil tasting for our team of 20 people. It was both educational and fun - we learned to taste the difference between mild, medium and intense, and got great tips for cooking. Definitely recommended for company events!
