In France, a ‘high school of olive oil tasting’

Fabienne Roux has been involved with olive oil for over 22 years as a specialist in its tastes and flavors. Internationally recognized for her expertise, she is often invited to participate in olive oil competitions, such as the New York International Olive Oil Competition held in April this year where she served on its elite panel of judges. Roux feels strongly that much more can be done in France to improve awareness of olive oil, especially in food and gastronomy. She recently created the French High School of Olive Oil Tasting where she shares her passion, enthusiasm and knowledge with professionals and gastronomy lovers.
