An evening with the Capizzanos

Suzanne and Stephen Capizzano were our guests for the evening. They recently opened Capizzano's Oils and Vinegars in Westerly. Both of them were involved in the health care field and realized how much the right oils can add to our health and well being. Steve said that when he was growing pu his dad served vinegar pepper with every meal. When he asked "Why?" his dad said that it helped cut out the fat in their diet. At the time Steve thought it was just an old wives tale. Later he learned that it was true. 

 

Good olive oil has less than three fatty acids. It also has lots of polyphenal. This promotes good health. The best olive oil is the freshest and it isn't only from Italy. There are also some pretty good olive oils from South America as well. 

 

The Capizzanos shared a few samples with us as they wrapped up their talk.
