GIFT OF THE DAY: Woodhouse Artisan Chocolate Advent Calendar

 
It’s almost time to celebrate Advent with the Woodhouse Artisan Chocolate Advent Calendar.

One of our favorite chocolatiers makes a deluxe Chocolate Advent Calendar each holiday season. Pre-sale begins today at 1 pm Pacific Time.

Why pre-sale? Because these are made by hand, and there are only 150 available.

This is the company’s second in a series of “winter chalet” calendars that hold 24 drawers, each filled with delicious chocolate surprises to help count down the days to Christmas.

The chalet’s lighted balcony depicts a charming, snowy townscape. A separate tin holds holiday treats to celebrate Christmas day.

Extra gifts are included with each calendar:

  • A 2022 Woodhouse wooden ornament for your tree.
  • A special Christmas Pin you can wear (great on a winter hat or scarf).
  •  
    Head to WoodhouseChocolate.com to order yours.

    We enjoy food photographer Geraud Pfeiffer’s delicious bread photography.

    Sure, the Internet is filled with photos of croissants, pain au chocolate, loaves of bread, and sandwiches.

    But seeing a whole grid of them on Instagram is deliciousness-plus.

    There are even a few pastries in the mix to appease the sweet tooth.

    Dragging Out The Bread Machine

    This photo inspired us to drag out our bread machine over the weekend and make a couple of loaves with subtly tinted dough (sure, you can make it hot pink, but less is more).

    The only problem: The bread is so wonderful, we can’t stop eating it!

    GIFT OF THE DAY: Onsuri Extra Virgin Olive Oil

     
    We’re teeing up our holiday gift list, starting with something that’s tasty, heart-healthy, and packaged in a “keeper” can: Onsuri Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

    Onsuri’s EVOO is made from some of Europe’s finest olive varieties. The groves are located in the heart of Jordan.

    Thanks to the hot, dry conditions, Jordan produces excellent olive oil. And why not? Olive trees were likely domesticated in one of three places: Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, or the Levant, in which we find modern Jordan.

    Greek, Spanish and local olive trees are tenderly cultivated on the Onsuri brand’s sustainable family farm, operated by the Bilbeisi family.

    The olives are picked and pressed within the hour, a hallmark of the best extra virgin olive oils with the lowest acidity.

    In olive oil, measuring free fatty acids is a highly technical way to measure quality, with 0.3% acidity considered the highest quality. Onsuri EVOOs contain less than 0.3% free fatty acids, meaning the company only uses oils pressed from the best olives, and with the highest production standards.

    Onsuri sells single-varietal EVOOs and blends. Each one offers a different flavor profile that pairs best with particular dishes.

  • Arbosana Extra Virgin Olive Oil, full-bodied with aromatic notes of green apples and tomato leaf and a pungency of pepper on the finish; great with grilled vegetables.
  • Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil, mild and well-balanced with aromatic hints of grass, herbs, and florals; delicious in a variety of sauces.
  • Koroneiki Extra Virgin Olive Oil, robust and vibrant with herbal flavor elements and very high in heart-healthy polyphenols; stands up best in dishes with equally impactful ingredients, like squid ink pasta or arrabbiata sauce.
  • Sensory Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a subtle oil with delicate flavors; works well drizzled on finished dishes.
  • Signature Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil, smooth and buttery; the most versatile Onsuri, a perfect partner for anything you’re cooking.
  •  
    There’s free shipping on all orders within the U.S. and Europe.

    Head To OnsuriOliveOil.com.
