Joanne Lucina shared that during a 2017 training course in New York called the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Savants, she miraculously achieved a perfect score on the difficult final exam. She noted that achieving this score as an American woman who did not grow up around olive trees was quite shocking.
“It was a three-day course with a very, very challenging exam, 90-minute exam on the last day that I miraculously and surprised to myself got a perfect score on, which had never been done in the history of the Extra Virgin All-Modal Savants.”
