The National Geographic Society played host to a tasty lecture at its Grosvenor Auditorium this week, hosting New York’s Fairway Markets guru Steven Jenkins for an olive oil tasting and wine pairing, with wines chosen by Best Cellars sommelier Joshua Wesson. Jenkins began his career in the gourmet food business by collecting an encyclopedic knowledge of cheese, publishing the Cheese Primer in 1994. His most recent book, The Food Life, takes a similar approach to a wide range of ingredients. He took a few minutes this week to explain his olive oil obsession, and to give DCist the rundown on the basics of good olive oil.
