Celebrate the Olive Harvest was the brainchild of Greg Scopas of Salumeria Fontana. He wanted to let people experience what good, local olive oil is all about. Slow Food Waitakere were delighted to help him do just that. Read to the end and see how to win a bottle of Salumeria Fontana 2015 Olive Oil.
Having fun
Supporting our growers and artisan producers is at the heart of Slow Food and Celebrate the Olive Harvest showed us just how much fun it can be. Being invited into Greg’s world and that of our local olive growers was a real treat.
We had a great turnout (much bigger than expected).
