Going Virtual with Your Own Tasting Kit: 5 Things to Know
These “Virtual Tasting Kits” invite you to try out our recently launched First Harvest SELECT olive oils. Ready to give it a try? Here we share five things you can expect from your very own virtual tasting experience with Fustini’s.
1. Learn the Significance of Single Varietal Oils
When it comes to olive oils, not all are pressed equally. In this virtual tasting session, you’ll learn a little bit about what makes these three single varietal oils so special and unique. Not only is this oil rare coming from the southern hemisphere, but it also has a level of freshness that elevates its nutritional value and flavor. We even worked with an EVOO expert, Paul Vossen, to ensure the products selected are of the utmost quality for the best possible experience for our customers.
2. Choose to Sample on Your Own Time
You’ve got your schedule. Find a virtual tasting time that works best for you. In your tasting kit, you’ll receive a list of dates and times you can register to schedule your virtual tasting with your new SELECT olive oils. Setting this time up ahead of time ensures you’ll be able to connect with a trained Fustini’s staff member to share about these oils and to taste with you. These virtual tastings are conducted via Zoom so you can connect through both audio and video capabilities.
3. Taste the “Official” Way
These varieties bring their own unique and complex flavor profiles. To get the most out of understanding and appreciating the flavor of the SELECT oil, we recommend a particular way to taste the oil. Never tried it before? Our Fustini’s staff member is more than willing to walk you through the recommended tasting technique, which involves letting the oil sit on your tongue for a second to be able to get the full flavor experience. After this virtual tasting, you’ll be sampling oils like a professional.
4. Partner with Our Supportive Team of Staff
Through this virtual tasting experience, you’ll get to partner with a Fustini’s staff member who is eager to connect and answer your questions about these unique and versatile SELECT EVOOs. Within our virtual conferencing capabilities, you’ll be able to ask questions, share comments and connect with this Fustini’s family that’s passionate about equipping you to stay safe and eat well.
5. Share Your Feedback
Surveys and emails can only do so much. With this virtual tasting, we’re so excited to be able to hear your thoughts and feedback about these new SELECT oil varieties. We want to hear from you - which one was your favorite, how do you see yourself using it in your everyday life and what flavor notes are you able to pick up. Regardless of which product you’re sampling, we believe these conversations and comments make a big difference in our future selections in providing our customers the flavors and varieties that matter to them.
Go Virtual With Your Tasting
Our tasting rooms may have limits, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t enjoy the experience of tasting these new SELECT EVOO that we’re so excited to share with you. Through innovative technology and virtual connection, these virtual tasting experiences invite you to join with us in growing in your understanding of the value of high quality extra virgin olive oils and how they empower you to eat well.
