Tom Alfonso of Alfonso Gourmet Olive Oils & Balsamics

There’s only one place in Southern Arizona to get real, authentic, fresh olive oils and aged balsamics, and we had the privilege of broadcasting live from there this week: Alfonso Gourmet Olive Oils & Balsamics!

This week’s celebrity co-host, Michael Luria of Children’s Museum Tucson, got us current with his latest food and beverage encounters, and Matthew Landon from Hacienda del Sol shared all the information on his upcoming Zin, Blues & Barbeque event. Our featured guest was Tom Alfonso, who told a delicious story about what fresh really means when it comes to extra virgin olive oil, and how to spot a fake balsamic versus an authentic, aged balsamic. We had the opportunity to taste (or is it slurp?) some of the new releases…wait until you hear how Matt and Michael reacted when they tasted the peppery olive oil from Greece!
