Most olive oils on the shelf aren’t what they claim to be — and black garlic is still a hidden gem. In this interactive session, Zied Slimane, founder of Tucan Holistic and producer of award-winning olive oil, alongside Emmy Suparmin, holistic nutritionist, will share their personal journey and guide you through a live tasting experience. You’ll learn how to recognize truly high-quality olive oil, discover the unique benefits of black garlic, and understand how these ancient foods support modern health.
Join this session to learn:
• How to recognize genuine, high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil
• Why harvest time, origin, and processing matter for health and taste
• What black garlic is, how it’s made, and why it’s easier to digest than raw garlic
• How to use olive oil and black garlic daily to support energy, heart, and overall wellness
