KATY RESIDENT SHUNS ROCKING CHAIR - THE OLIVE OIL GUY -
REFUSES TO RETIRE - OFFERS FREE OLIVE OIL TASTING
Houston TX, January 24, 2007 - Cinco Ranch resident David Laufenberg doesn't know the meaning of the word retire. Laufenberg has retired three times and is currently employed full time as a quality assurance specialist in the oil industry; though his passion still lies with his first career, olive oil. Laufenberg demonstrates, teaches and sell the oils on a local basis at markets and festivals.
Laufenberg retired to Katy 5 years ago from California and was in the olive oil business prior to retiring. "I have retired 3 times and just am not cut out for the rocking chair routine. I just have a passion for olive oil and that is what enables me to continue teaching about it." Laufenberg says. His company is called KDS Gourmet Foods or "The Olive Oil Guy" and is a regular vendor at Yale Street Arts Market in the Heights and offers ten different oils from California.
Yale Street Arts Market manager Mitch Cohen says "David always has a crowd in front of his booth, just like fine wine, his olive oil tastings are fun. Unless I get in line I rarely get to visit with him!" Selling the best product available from a domestic producer certainly helps. The fact that the oils are not flavored with an additive or extract is what makes them so flavorful. The olives are pressed with fresh fruit and the oils of the olive and fruit are naturally infused. This process makes the flavors intense and people who experience one of Laufenberg's "Olive Oil" tastings are never disappointed.
In addition to Yale Street Arts Market, Laufenberg can always be found at the Downtown Katy market every third Saturday as well as at the twice a year "Heart of Katy" and Annual "Heritage Grand Extravaganza". He also does private "Olive Oil" tastings for businesses and private home gatherings.
"The Olive Oil Guy" will be the featured vendor at the Yale Street Arts Market in the Houston Heights on February 3. Yale Street Arts Market is a three year old monthly arts market featuring original fine art by local artists. Visitors will find fine photography, paintings, metal sculpture, glass art, sterling silver jewelry, fiber arts, blooming live bromeliads and of course free olive oil tastings.
