Our two distinct olive courses, both the spring’s The Contadino, The Cook and The Extra Virgin, and the autumn’s, The Agronomist, The Alchemist and The Extra Virgin are taught by Chris Butler and Silvestro Silvestori. Both Chris and Silvestro bring diverse yet complimentary elements to the programmes, creating a programme from two, formerly-isolated disciplines: Cooking and wine appreciation, and professional olive consultation. They have been friends for years.
