My guest on this podcast, TJ Robinson, aka “The Olive Oil Hunter®” is well-known as one of the world’s most respected authorities on all things olive oil.
Widely acclaimed for his “platinum palate,” TJ is one of the few Americans invited to serve as a judge in prestigious Italian olive oil tasting competitions.
As the founder of The Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, ( TJ is dedicated to importing rare fresh-pressed olive oil, the most flavorful and most healthful extra virgin olive oil on the planet, until now virtually impossible to obtain year-round in the US. All his oils are independently lab-tested and certified for 100% purity.
But what you probably don’t know about TJ is that he has a plethora of knowledge about vinegar and spices too, and he recently introduced me and my family’s palate to a whole new world of flavor-enhancing vinegar tactics that I never knew existed, straight from his new culinary collection of artisanal vinegar ( At GreenfieldPantry.com, ( the vinegar is $98.00 for a 4-bottle set with shipping included – no club membership is required for the vinegar. You also have the chance to join TJ’s olive oil club to go along with your vinegar and receive a $1 offer for Olive Oil. (
After hearing more about TJ, his process, and the benefits of vinegar, I have a feeling you’re going to adopt a “fresh” outlook on what should be a healthy pantry staple. Enjoy!
