REVIEW: Terra Medi Greek Oils, Olives, Bruschetta & Tapenade
Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, EVOO, and EV Sesame Oil. |
Olive lovers have a friend in Terra Medi. The company imports top-quality olive oils, bruschettas, tapenades, olive mixes, vinegars and a sesame oil from Greece. The bruschettas and tapenades are versatile ingredients for entertaining or for sprucing up everyday meals. They have found permanent fans in us, and are well priced for gift giving. Olive oil, made from the Koroneiki olive, is available in regular and organic bottlings (the regular is mellow, the organic peppery). The red and white wine vinegars are among the finest we have had, and a bargain at $6.99 a bottle. The balsamic vinegar is not aged in traditional Modena woods, but instead has a lovely, pruny taste instead of the caramel flavors of Modena balsamics (and their imitators). The olive mixes are tops (especially the Mixed Olives with Fennel, Orange and Rosemary). Read the full review, which includes the origin of bruschetta.
