Olive Oil
Olive oil is a vegetable oil obtained solely from the fruit of the olive tree, a traditional tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin. It is regarded as a healthy dietary oil due to its high content of monounsaturated fat. Graded according to quality, degree of acidity, and production process, four varieties are most common: extra virgin, virgin, semi fine, and pure. Uses include searing and frying foods, or poured over cooked vegetables and meat. Use sparingly, however as its use can be overdone.
Selecting an olive oil is quite simple; taste some and pick the one you like. We offer both French and Italian oils, extra virgin as well as pure. We do, perhaps favor the French oils. We simply enjoy their flavor more, particularly Huilerie D’Opio Moulin de la Brague extra virgin. We could bathe in it.
Store your oils in a spot close at hand, but away from heat and light. Remember, our packaging is beautiful, so leave the containers out and impress those discriminating guests.
Try just one oil or perhaps a vinegar,
then see if you notice a difference in your cooking. We think you will.

Arbequine Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Arbequine olive oil is entirely produced by hand. The Arbeca olives are handpicked from the trees, then placed in smaller crates to avoid damage to the fruit. Crushing in the mill must occur within 24 hours of harvest to ensure that no fermentation has started, reducing acidity levels as low as 0.2.
This, our first olive oil from Spain, has surprised us. Remember, we taste test every product we sell. No one could describe the flavor, other than fabulous. This deep golden-green oil is full bodied with a pronounced fruity flavor. But there’s more; apples or almonds perhaps.
We suggest using this oil in dressings or vinaigrettes, or perhaps brushed on vegetables, fish, or meat before grilling. Before all else however, dip a chunk of crusty bread "solo" into this lovely product. Let us know your thoughts. 17 oz | | Stir Fry Tea Oil
Stir Fry Tea Oil has been an important ingredient in the preparation of healthy, savory Asian food for centuries.

Fused with the finest organic, extra-virgin olive oil, this is one addition to your cooking arsenal that is a "must".
The taste is light, smooth, and fresh without bitterness. Loaded with stable omega fatty acids which support healthy cholesterol levels, what more can one product offer? 17 oz tin |
