Vivian Howard Instagram – You think you know a thing, until you really get to know a thing. I’ve cooked for more than 20 years professionally and thought I knew a little about olive oil. But several weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend the olive harvest at @corto_olive in Lodi and my mind was blown. I’ve always been of the opinion that everything culinary, especially olive oil, is just better in Europe. But my time with the corto folks proved otherwise.
These smart people have taken a centuries old process and improved upon it. Believe it or not, the freshest, tastiest most vibrant olive oil you can buy is available right here, grown and harvested and pressed domestically in California.
Thanks again for a wonderful trip, @corto_olive. And for those of you who aren’t so lucky to find yourself in their olive grove, go get yourself some quality oil at corto-olive.com.
