While the menorah is pretty and lighting candles is lovely, let’s be honest: in the end Hanukkah is really about oil. The miracle of it, that is. So no matter how you celebrate, whether by whipping up some latkes or sampling tiny Tunisian doughnuts, you better honor that tiny olive.

And what better way to do it than with an oil tasting? This Thursday, the folks at Cambridge’s Formaggio Kitchen team up with PRISM, a Young Adult Initiative at the New Center for Arts and Culture, to do a blind tasting of olive oils at the Mobius Gallery.

Full disclosure: I’m involved in planning these events and will do my darndest to be there. But really, who could say ‘no’ to one of the healthiest oils on the planet?
