 Please join us this Friday at Babi's Tasting Room at 6:00 pm when olive oil expert, farmer and author, Theo Stephen of GLOBAL GARDENS in Los Olivos, Calif.will give us all the information we need to truly understand the world of olive oil.  Her recent book, Olive Oil and Vinegar for Life - Delicious Recipes for Healthy Caliterranean Living, details exclusive recipes and tips for using the locally grown and produced olive oils that Theo farms herself.  From olive to bottle to your plate!  Her first olive tree plantings are in Los Alamos - let's talk terroir!
 
ABOUT THEO from a LOS ANGELES TIMES EXCERPT:

The founder of the Global Gardens line of olive oils and specialty food products, Stephan makes about 2,000 gallons of olive oil a year. Needless to say, there are bottles of it everywhere in her home. She has no shortage of recipes that will allow the flavors of the olive oil to shine through — scrambled eggs, a brushing of olive oil to brown a grilled cheese sandwich or sauteeing vegetables for a lasagna.

But bringing olive oil out of the realm of the savory into the sweet is perhaps the most unexpected way Stephan knows how to showcase the literal fruits of her labor.

And they're exactly what you'd expect from a woman who has spent a lifetime dodging convention — and has finally found her sweet spot.

"It always stops people in their tracks," Stephan said. "They say, 'Olive oil? For dessert? Really?' And I say, 'Just try it.'"

Stephan, 50, was partner in a Dayton, Ohio-based graphic design firm buoyed by Southern California film-and-tourism accounts when she arrived in L.A. in 1996 to open a West Coast office. She rented a convertible and took a meandering drive up the coast to explore and celebrate. Fixated by her first glimpse of the Pacific Ocean off Santa Barbara, she lost track of her gas tank as she ventured farther into wine country. She ran out of fuel just as she was pulling into a gas station in Los Olivos, and she says the convertible had to be pushed to the pump.

"The whole time I was driving I was, like, 'Oh, my God, look at this place.' I was just tingling," Stephan said. Gassed up and back on the road, she noticed an ornamental olive tree. "I don't know how to explain it. I just had this glimmer, and it was like I knew I was going to put olive trees in the ground here."

That was 2,047 olive trees ago.

"It took forever. Man, did it take forever. But it's the culmination of the lifestyle I always wanted…. I can honestly say I've never been happier. I feel like I'm supposed to be doing this."
