Guest Speakers
Tony Kasandrinos
Founder and CEO of Kasandrinos. He was raised in New York, though he spent a lot of time growing up in his father’s tiny village in Greece where olive oil is not just a health food fad, but the essence of culinary and cultural traditions.
As he grew up and moved around the United States, he quickly found that the difference in quality between commercially produced olive oil found at supermarkets and the hand-pressed olive oil from his father’s village was night and day.
He stated that: “In our case, all of the olive oil we sell comes directly from our family farm. We do not use any pesticides, and all our olives are hand-picked. The oil made with economic stability, environmental sustainability, and your health in mind.”
