Savory / flavorful

I eat this on bread, I’ve had with hot dogs, dressing on asparagus and eggs, it’s lovely and rich with flavor and COLOR - I am a visual person

Great tasting, authentic olive oil

I’ve been to olive oil manufacturers in Europe and this olive oil tastes just like it should, fresh with a kick at the end means it’s really good quality. I was so pleasantly surprised when I tasted it for the first time and it was like I was back in an olive grove in grease tasting olive oil that had been pressed right in front of me. I love that I can get it locally in Holly Springs, NC, at the farmer’s market or hand-delivered to my door. I always keep it on hand and use it for salads, bread, pasta etc. Good oils like this are so important to being healthy.

Salads for sure.

The Fig Balsamic Vinegar is very tasty. I use it and the Olive Oil on salads that have strawberries, blueberries, rasberries along with assorted vegetables. I will be ordering again soon.
