Hello Friends!
We hope you are all staying safe during these hot smoke-filled days, hopefully, they will pass soon. Our thoughts and hearts go out to our neighbors across the state in Spokane, as they've experienced such devastation from the fires. My family lived there for seven years and that area is still very close to our heart.
We have some delicious flavors of the month for you to try this month: Dill Olive Oil, Red Apple Dark Balsamic & our Ultra Premium White Balsamic - a delicious naturally sweet unflavored white balsamic.
A quick store update: Many of you ask how we are doing when you come into the store and we're happy to report that things are going very well for us as we approach our 4th anniversary in Snohomish. The building sold in April, but we have really enjoyed working with the new owner, so that is going well. Our sales are down slightly this year for the first time since buying this business seven years ago, but I've heard that from similar stores too, and think the economy has people watching their spending. We've also focused on tightening our expenses and are still profitable this year, so we look forward to continuing to serve you long-term in Snohomish, and really appreciate your business. Thank you for sharing us with so many of your friends and family! That really makes a difference to us.
A reminder, that Labor Day is September 7 and we will be closed since it is a Monday. Please shop in August or early September for all your Labor Day needs!
If you're here only for the recipes, head straight towards the end of this message to explore some tasty ones. Many more are on our website at abitoftaste.com/recipes.
Warmly,
Debe & the team at A Bit of Taste

Hot Weather Reminder:
Anything over 80 degrees is the enemy of olive oil. It will degrade rapidly & lose its beneficial properties. Do not store it in your car or above your stove!
On a 70°F day, your car's interior can heat up to dangerous levels very quickly. After just 10 minutes, the temperature inside the car can reach 90°F, and after 60 minutes, it can climb to 115°F, or higher, according to the National Weather Service.
Parking Lot Reminder:
We love having some parking spaces for you to use while shopping, but this is a courtesy reminder to please only stay parked in them while shopping so other guests can use the spaces while they shop. With only four spaces we have limited parking and sometimes it fills up, especially Saturday afternoons during the summer. Please ask for any exceptions directly with our team, and we never mind you parking in our lot when we are closed.
Product News
Extra Virgin Olive Oil update: Our ultra-premium extra virgin olive oil table is always changing with the freshest olive oils available. A few new olive oils from the northern hemisphere have arrived. They are on our website, and listed below. Please check at abitoftaste.com, or call or email, if you'd like the latest information.
We continue many of the olive oils we've had available, but expect some from the southern hemisphere crush to start arriving soon.
Our highest biophenol EVOO is still available: the organic Chetoui EVOO (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/chetoui-evoo-organic/215?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=19) with 733 ppm. This oil is reminiscent of a Northern Italian style and displays a spectacularly aromatic nose with savory notes of wheatgrass, artichoke heart and ample bitterness. It is sure to please those of you who like a robust style of olive oil.
We also still have delicious Estate Reserve Cuvee (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/estate-reserve-cuvee-evoo/756) that is a delicious blend of Koroneiki, Picual and Picholine olives
We still have Arbosana (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/arbosana-evoo-mild-/500?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=19) , Arbequina (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/arbequina-evoo-robust-/153?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=19) , Barnea (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/barnea-evoo/188?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=19) , Frantoio (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/frantoio-evoo-medium/713?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=19) , Koroneiki (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/koroneiki-evoo-robust/50?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=19) , and Coratina (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/coratina-evoo-medium/159?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=19) EVOO's available.
~ Sadly, we're at the end of a couple of products:
1. The A-Premium White Balsamic (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/a-premium-white-balsamic/123) is almost gone and no more is available from our supplier, but we do have a few bottles left. Once gone, the Ultra Premium White Balsamic (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/ultra-premium-white-balsamic/693?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true) is a good substitute, but it is sweeter and not as tart as the A-Premium for those of you who prefer that flavor note.
2. We're also at the end of the Sherry Wine Vinegar (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/sherry-wine-vinegar/47) we've been carrying. We will continue to carry the Champagne Wine Vinegar (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/champagne-vinegar/157) for those of you who want an unflavored non-balsamic vinegar.
AUGUST
National Bacon Lover's Day, August 20
It's almost Un-American to dislike bacon, so let's celebrate! We have bacon products like Terrapin Ridge Smoky Maple Bacon Mustard (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/smokey-maple-bacon-mustard-terrapin-ridge/621) , and their Hot Pepper Bacon Jam (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/hot-pepper-bacon-jam-terrapin-ridge/534) . We also recently featured a coleslaw recipe that is vegetarian, but the combination of ingredients makes it taste like there's bacon.
