An Evening of Wine and Conversation in Asif’s Library with Hila Alpert, plus tasting olive oils
What cooking oil did nutrition gurus recommend in the 1950s? How did Israel’s oil industry emerge, and how were the oils in the Israeli pantry chosen? How has olive oil become a specialty, balancing between large-scale industry and small producers?
The event will begin with olive oil tastings at the deli and continue in our library with a glass of wine in hand. Hila Alpert will lead an open, spontaneous, and original discussion about these topics.
