Maia Hirschbein holds a Masters in Food Culture and Communications at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Piedmont, Italy. As part of her Masters research, Maia completed one of the most comprehensive studies of California olive oil, in which she traveled and met with producers throughout the state. She now works to grow consumer awareness of California oil by working with producers around the state, and teaching tasting workshops for both home cooks and for chefs. Maia first tasted freshly milled olive oil for the while working an olive harvest on a small farm in Tuscany, which inspired her obsession with olive oil back at home in California.
