Some people have too many condiments, we have too much olive oil. Well, who can ever have too much? We will use all of this and more. With our CSA subscription to The Little Farm in Gilbert we receive a lot of salad greens and so this variety and incredible quality of olive oils make dining on greens all the better.
The first and third bottle in the photo is from the Stonehouse California Olive Oil Company. We bought these last month at the Ferry Building Marketplace in San Francisco. The Olio Nuovo, also known as Sevillano Single is an early harvest and one of the most flavorful and strongest of olive oils.
The next bottle is from Joëlle, also a California company. This olive oil is my current favorite, I love the peppery, grassy flavor. This particular bottle is the hand-picked cold-pressed Early Harvest Manzanillo.
Fourth bottle is from Il Frantoio Di Montepulciano from the village of Montepulciano in Tuscany, Italy. While we tried and loved it before buying it in San Francisco, we haven’t opened this one yet.
Finally is Lapas Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Greece, which was purchased from Whole Foods, a good inexpensive everyday oil.
