HOLIDAY GIFT: Extra Virgin Olive Oil From Oliviers & Co.
|
For the holiday season, treat yourself or a foodie friend to this special bottling of extra-virgin Christmas olive oil from Oliviers & Co (photos #1 and #2). It’s called “Christmas” olive oil because it’s an exceptional oil bottled only once a year, in a limited edition. This superb Italian Grand Cru olive oil is packaged in an exquisite bottle dressed with gold, that’s a “keeper” in of itself. The design features the branches of a tree of life. You can keep it as kitchen decor, or refill it with other olive oil to brighten up the table all year round. What’s inside that’s just as memorable. Enjoy it on bread, carpaccio, cooked vegetables, goat cheese, greens, grilled shrimp and scallops…and straight from the spoon†. Discover more fine products at OliviersAndCo.com. For 25 years, Oliviers & Co has offered specialty foods from the finest groves in the Mediterranean: olive oils, vinegars and more. Bottled in France’s Haute-Provence, behind each bottle are strict guidelines of selection, quality and traceability. Oliviers means “olive trees” (single olivier, from the Latin oliva, olive). While most people think of piquant olives as a vegetable, olives are fruits—the fruits of the olive tree, like apples are the fruits of the apple tree.

It includes climate, elevation, proximity to a body of water, slant of the land, soil type and amount of sun.
