A few weeks ago I was among a group of food writers, bloggers, publishers, lovers, invited by STAR Fine Foods<\/a> to celebrate the launch of their first Extra Virgin Olive Oil made exclusively from California olives. It is the first locally grown olive oil for the importer which has introduced thousands of Californians and households all over America to premium olive oils from the Mediterranean since its founding by the Guirlani family of San Francisco in 1898. Owned by Borges of Barcelona since 1995, the company also imports balsamic and wine vinegars, green and black olives, peppers and capers from throughout Spain and the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

STAR was thrilled to partner with acclaimed photographers Todd Porter and Diane Cu of White on Rice Couple<\/a> to throw this little soiree. Not only were we able to do a side-by-side tasting of the EVOO California Olive Oil and STAR’s best selling Extra Virgin Olive Oil and enjoy a delicious spread of vegetarian, gluten-free tapas, but we were the first to see Todd and Diane’s new culinary photography studio! STAR was also excited to show off Todd and Diane’s specially created Gluten-Free Parmesan & Olive Oil Crackers<\/em><\/span> and, because you all are so special, I requested the recipe to share here \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
