Fresno state Estate: New olive oil release and tasting Wednesday
The new release of Fresno State’s award-winning yet improved 2006 Estate Reserve Olive Oil will be presented during a special tasting Wednesday, March 7, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Fresno State Farm Market, located at the southeast corner of Chestnut and Barstow avenues.
Orchard Manager Gino Favagrossa will conduct the tasting of the student-produced virgin olive oil that won a bronze medal at the prestigious San Diego Bay Wine and Food Festival in November. That 2005 Estate Reserve was sold out in December and has been in demand since then. The new release also will be carried at We Olive in the Fig Garden Shopping Center in Fresno.
The tasting, which is free and open to the public, will feature sourdough bread dipped in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Please note that Chestnut Avenue is closed due to road improvements. Visitors should access the store from Barstow, east of Chestnut, and enter at the north driveways.

EVOO: Healthy oils
by Chantelle Janelle,
Fats are a necessary part of a balanced diet but all fats are not created equal. Cooks who reach for healthy oils are on the right track.
Culinary instructor Duncan Howden says the traditional cooking fat chefs prefer is butter. “Most chefs are taught from the beginning how to work with and cook with butter because it has great flavor, but it is absolutely terrible for our bodies.”
Fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb nutrients. But eating too much saturated fat, like butter or meat fat, isn’t a good idea. Dr. Elizabeth Stark says, “The saturated fats being the ones that promote heart disease. The unsaturated fats being the ones that can lower your bad cholesterol, increase your good cholesterol and have a health benefit.”
