🌊 COASTAL FLAVOR FRIDAY

Sometimes the best pairings are the simplest ones.

🌿 Koroneiki EVOO
+
🍋🥒 Lemon Cucumber White Balsamic

Fresh. Bright. A little peppery. A little sweet.

And pretty much begging to be poured over something delicious.

Try this pair:

🍤 As a quick dressing for grilled shrimp
🥒 Over cucumber, tomato & feta salad
🐟 Drizzled over grilled or baked fish
🍉 Over watermelon, feta & fresh mint
🥗 Tossed with crisp greens and avocado
🥖 Or simply whisked together for dipping warm crusty bread

Mrs. Salty's Favorite: Watermelon + feta + mint with a generous drizzle of Koroneiki and Lemon Cucumber.

Sweet watermelon, salty feta, fresh mint, peppery EVOO and that bright little pop of lemon and cucumber...

That's coastal summer on a plate. 🌊

And considering September hasn't told North Carolina that summer is supposed to be winding down yet, Mrs. Salty sees absolutely no reason to stop eating like it. 😉

🍅 Simple Ingredients. Really Good Olive Oil. Part Two.

Remember Monday when Mrs. Salty told you that really good olive oil doesn't need much help?

Exhibit A. 👆

Mediterranean Tomato & White Bean Skillet with Crispy Feta

Juicy late-summer tomatoes. Creamy white beans. A little garlic. Fresh herbs. Salty feta. Crusty bread.

And a very generous pour of our award-winning Koroneiki EVOO. 🌿

That's dinner.

The secret is using the Koroneiki twice—once to cook everything and then another fresh drizzle right before serving.

That final pour is where you really taste the beautiful green, fruity flavor and peppery finish of a great EVOO.

And yes, you absolutely need the crusty bread.

Because leaving all that tomatoey, olive-oily goodness in the bottom of the skillet would simply be irresponsible. 😂

🌿 Sometimes Simple Really Is Better.

This week we're pouring our Koroneiki Extra Virgin Olive Oil—a beautiful Greek EVOO with a fresh, green flavor and that lovely little peppery finish that reminds you...

Ohhhh. THIS is what olive oil is supposed to taste like.

And apparently we're not the only ones who think it's pretty special. 😉

🏆 Our producer's Koroneiki has been named Best Koroneiki for 15 years in a row!

That's quite a winning streak.

Koroneiki is one of those oils that doesn't need much help:

🍅 Drizzle it over ripe tomatoes
🥖 Pour it into a bowl with a little sea salt for dipping
🐟 Finish grilled fish or shrimp
🥗 Toss it with greens and your favorite balsamic
🥦 Drizzle it over roasted vegetables
🍝 Finish pasta with a generous pour

Mrs. Salty's Tip: Don't save your best EVOO for special occasions. Good olive oil is meant to be USED—and sometimes the simplest meals are exactly where you'll taste the difference.

This week's theme:

Simple Ingredients. Really Good Olive Oil.

And when you've won for 15 years running, I'd say you've earned the right to keep things simple. 😉🌿

🌊 Coastal Flavor Friday

🍋 The Mediterranean Coast Pairing

If dinner on the coast had a flavor, this might just be it. 🌊

Bright Meyer lemon, cool cucumber, grilled shrimp, fresh herbs and salty feta come together for a pairing that feels like late summer by the sea.

This Week's Pairing

🍋 Meyer Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

🥒 Lemon Cucumber Balsamic

Perfect With

🦐 Grilled Shrimp & Feta Pitas

Brush shrimp with Meyer Lemon EVOO, season simply with salt, pepper and a little garlic, then grill until just cooked through.

Tuck the shrimp into warm pita with crisp cucumber, juicy tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta and fresh dill or parsley.

Then comes the best part...

Finish everything with a drizzle of Meyer Lemon EVOO + Lemon Cucumber Balsamic.

Bright. Fresh. A little tangy. And just about perfect with a chilled glass of wine on the porch.

✨ Mrs. Salty Says: Don't drown fresh ingredients in dressing! Start with a small drizzle of EVOO and balsamic, toss or taste, then add more if you need it. Great ingredients should still taste like themselves.

Here's to squeezing every last drop out of summer. 🍋🌊

🌿 Taste. Share. Enjoy.

🍑 Beyond the Salad Bowl! 🥒🍫

We’re heading back to Grape & Ale this Friday, August 28 from 4–7 PM for a tasting that’s all about discovering just how much you can do with balsamic!

We’ll be pouring three delicious favorites:

🍑 Peach Balsamic — bright, juicy & perfect for summer
🫐 Blackberry Ginger Balsamic — rich, fruity with a little ginger zing
🥒 Lemon Cucumber Balsamic — fresh, crisp & wonderfully unexpected

And because balsamic is definitely not just for salads, we’re bringing along dark chocolate and vanilla ice cream so you can try a few of Mrs. Salty’s favorite pairings. ❤️

Come sip, taste, discover a new favorite — and maybe pick up a bottle of wine to pair with it while you’re there!

🍽 Wednesday at the Table

🍋 Mediterranean Lemon Orzo with Roasted Vegetables & Feta

This week's trip to the Mediterranean table starts with one big, beautiful bowl.

Tender orzo is tossed with roasted zucchini, tomatoes and peppers, then loaded with artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, feta and fresh herbs.

The finishing touch?

A generous drizzle of our Meyer Lemon EVOO. 🍋🌿

The result is bright, fresh and wonderfully Mediterranean—and you can serve it warm, at room temperature or chilled.

Quick version: Roast your favorite summer vegetables at 425°F until caramelized. Toss with cooked orzo, artichokes, olives, feta, basil and parsley. Add fresh lemon and Meyer Lemon EVOO and season to taste.

That's it. Dinner is served.

✨ Mrs. Salty's Tip: Save some Meyer Lemon EVOO for the very end. That final drizzle keeps the fresh citrus flavor bright and gives the whole dish a little lift.

Add grilled shrimp or chicken if you'd like—or let those gorgeous vegetables have center stage.

🌿 Simple. Seasonal. Made to Share.

🍋 This Week at Salty Olive

A Little Mediterranean Sunshine

This week’s featured flavor is Meyer Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil—bright, fresh and one of those bottles that seems to make almost everything taste a little more like summer.

Meyer lemon has a softer, slightly sweeter citrus flavor than traditional lemon, making this EVOO incredibly versatile in the kitchen.

We love it:

🍤 Drizzled over grilled shrimp or fish
🥦 Tossed with roasted vegetables
🥔 Finished over crispy potatoes
🥗 Whisked into a simple vinaigrette
🍗 Used as a marinade for chicken
🥖 Drizzled over warm focaccia
🍰 And even baked into an olive oil cake!

This week we're taking our inspiration from the Mediterranean table—fresh ingredients, simple preparations and meals meant to be shared.

On Wednesday, we're making Mediterranean Lemon Orzo with Roasted Vegetables & Feta, and Friday we'll take Meyer Lemon somewhere deliciously coastal. 🌊

✨ Mrs. Salty Says: Try Meyer Lemon EVOO as a finishing oil. A drizzle just before serving preserves that beautiful fresh citrus flavor and can completely wake up a simple dish.

Sometimes dinner just needs a little sunshine. 🍋☀️

🌿 Taste. Share. Enjoy.

🌊 Coastal Flavor Friday

🌿 The Market Basket Pairing

You know that farmers-market basket that somehow comes home overflowing?

Here's one more reason to fill it. 😉

This Week's Pairing

🌿 Basil Extra Virgin Olive Oil

🍇 Traditional Aged Balsamic

Perfect With

🥖 Grilled Vegetable & Goat Cheese Tartine

Start with thick slices of grilled sourdough brushed with Basil EVOO. Spread with creamy whipped goat cheese, then pile on your favorite grilled summer vegetables—zucchini, eggplant, sweet peppers and those tomatoes you couldn't resist at the market.

Finish with fresh basil, cracked pepper and a drizzle of Traditional Aged Balsamic.

The Basil EVOO brings a fresh, herbaceous note while the aged balsamic adds a rich, slightly sweet finish to those smoky grilled vegetables.

It's simple. A little messy. And absolutely perfect with a glass of wine on the porch.

✨ Mrs. Salty Says: Add your balsamic after the vegetables come off the grill. The warm vegetables bring out the balsamic's natural sweetness, and you'll keep that beautiful rich flavor instead of cooking it away.

Here's to making the most of every last bit of summer. 🌿

Taste. Share. Enjoy.
