ERTH (an Arabic word meaning heritage, culture, and tradition passed down through generations) is an initiative launched by Savante Tala Saket, merging culinary craftsmanship with sensory fluency to create stimulating experiences centred around Extra Virgin Olive Oil. ERTH is the lens through which place, culture and emotion are captured.

Its first event, ‘The Many Facets of Olive Oil’, was launched in Amman, Jordan, on 18 April 2026.  A model that is built on the progressive sensory structure of olive oil moving from flavour recognition and oil identification to culinary application and transformation.  Participants were guided through the Savantes inspired ‘Alphabet of Aroma’ to sharpen aroma description, then profiling of three extra virgin olive oils (from Spain, Jordan, and Tunisia), and testing the flavour impact of the oils with a series of dishes of Jordanian cuisine, created from local seasonal ingredients.
