This will be the premiere showcase of Siena’s DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) extra virgin olive oils in the Baltimore area.

Pazza Luna was chosen to be part of this four-day event, which will include tastings, informational seminars, educational exchanges and thematic dinners that is in association with the Siena Olive Oil Consortium and introduces their products to the Baltimore market for the first time. “Under the Olive Tree” has the patronage of the Consulate of Italy (www.palazzoitalia.org) – Baltimore and the City of Baltimore, which are partnering to promote trade, build economic strength and develop quality of life in the greater metropolitan region.
