Your olive oil sommelier
Meet Mike. He's a qualified olive oil sommelier (yes, that's a thing!) and will be leading the tasting sessions. He's also the owner of the UK side of Lazos Grove, importing the oil fresh from our friends in Greece, bottling it here in England and selling it from our little shopfront in Royston, Herts. Mike's incredibly passionate about olive oil and will be on hand to enthusiastically guide you through each session.
