Oil You Need Is Love - HB Meet-Up
This class is full. Please click the add to waitlist button below.
A new study has found that following a Mediterranean-type diet can delay the onset of Parkinson’s disease by up to 17.4 years for women and 8.4 years for men. Meet up at J. Olive Co. for a tasting and to learn about the best oils you should buy. In 2013, the James family visited an olive oil store for the first time. They realized they hadnnever been exposed to truly fresh olive oil. The concept of eating healthy has always been important to them, but the olive oils that they had previously bought at our local grocers could not come close to the flavor and richness of these genuinely fresh oils. This is how J. Olive Co. was born, out of the family's desire to make available the freshest and healthiest olive oils and vinegars to the community. Meet at J. Olive Co., 6555 US Hwy 98, W Suite 22A, Hattiesburg.
