The olive oil in our lotion is the same food-grade extra virgin olive oil we sell in the store. All the antioxidants and vitamins still intact - the way it should be.

Entertaining season is here and this one earns its place on any spread.

These Lemon Dill Cucumber Sandwiches are cool, crisp, and herby with a bright lift from Dill Olive Oil and a splash of Lemon Balsamic in the cream cheese. Easy to make ahead, easy to serve.

Most people don't think much about where they keep their olive oil.

But light, heat, and air are the enemy - and where you store it makes a real difference in how it tastes.

The blog has a full breakdown including why the counter next to the stove is one of the worst spots, and how long it lasts once open. Worth a quick read before your next bottle. 🌿

If you’ve ever opened a bottle of olive oil and thought, “Hmm… this doesn’t smell quite right,” you’re not imagining it. Just like fresh fruit or bread, olive oil doesn’t last forever — and how you store it can make a big difference in its flavor and shelf life.

Warmer weather doesn't mean your skin stops needing hydration - it just means your routine gets lighter.

Switching to something that absorbs quickly and doesn't feel heavy is the move. Our Hydrating Body Lotion is made with olive oil and keeps skin nourished without the grease. Just consistent, everyday moisture that actually works.

BBQ season is here, and coleslaw deserves better than the bag.

This Honey Ginger Coleslaw is fresh, crunchy, and gets its sweet-tangy kick from Honey Ginger White Balsamic. It's ready in ten minutes, holds up great for picnics and potlucks, and pairs with just about anything off the grill.

One of the most underused moves in everyday cooking is reducing balsamic into a glaze. Just add a few tablespoons to a warm pan and let it simmer until it thickens slightly.

Deeply sweet, slightly tangy, and rich enough to make a simple dish taste like you spent a lot more time on it.

Drizzle over roasted carrots, grilled chicken, pork, salmon, or even vanilla ice cream.

Traditional is the classic. Fig or Raspberry take it sweeter. Dark Chocolate takes it somewhere unexpected.
