mandarin
olive oil is good stuff, made by crushing the fruit and the handpicked olives together. Mandarin Oranges are an entire group of citrus known as Citrus Reticulata. Included in this group are the popular Mandarin varieties, Satsuma, Dancy, and Clementine.  In the US, we often refer to Mandarins as Tangerines, for which Tangerines are Mandarins, but, not all Mandarins are Tangerines. (Did you get that?)
Known for their loose fitting skin when ripe, Mandarin oranges have a sweet flavor that matches perfectly with Giuseppe's olive oil. When you first crack open the cap you just can't keep your nose away from the bottle. One big sniff and you are rewarded with that distinct sweet, citrus peel smell that only mandarins can give you. I have to tell you, I enjoyed all the sniffs I took, (and there were many) as I wrote this newsletter. When I finally got around to the first glorious sip of Etruria's mandarin Olive Oil, the sweet mandarin smell wafted through my nostrils as my taste buds confirmed the uniquely sweet citrus oil flavor. If you dip your tongue into the oil first, and then sip the oil into your mouth, the citrus taste comes last, with the olive oil dominating first. But why would you do this, when, if you inhale/sip it, like tasting a fine wine, you get the full citrus aroma along with a nice peppery oil tang in the back of your throat? The distinct Mandarin orange peel essence hangs out, like a great friend in your mouth, long after the pepper and olive oil flavor have gone. This is an oil worth sipping, although I expect you will find more uses for it than just enjoying it straight up ....... shop now for Mandarin Olive Oil Random fact: Did you know that hollowed-out mandarin orange skins are packed with Pu-erh tea, and then aged to create a musty, earth-toned tea with light mandarin citrus notes? |
Pariani hazelnut
Oil tastes just as it should - like a mouthful of an Autumn afternoon. Like toasted sunlight, it is full, round-flavored, and both floral and herbaceous. The flavor is front and center, never giving up its spotlight to other foods. It's the result of a passionate love affair between a student of Agriculture and a hillside of perfect hazelnuts. New, much lower price ... just in from the Fall harvest.
Chef Paul Canales, at Oliveto restaurant, and Chef Staffan Terje at Perbacco restaurant both mentioned using Pariani Hazelnut oil on Risotto. Chef Claudio, with the Intercontinental in Scottsdale, AZ uses just a small drizzle in his butternut squash soup. Chef Zach Allen of Mario Batali's CarneVino and B & B Ristorante uses it on thinly sliced beef and sunchokes - and on ricotta cheese paired with truffle. save now on Pariani Hazelnut oil |
| it's never too early to order fruitcake. It keeps a long time .....
The Trappist Abbey recipe is old-fashioned and straightforward – no scary, shiny green cherries here - and it includes a three-month aging process after the cakes are soaked in brandy. We have one customer who buys one every year, soaks it at home in a vat of brandy for another year, and then breaks out last years to eat this year! order early for the holidays

Salad of Fall greens with Persimmons and Hazelnut Oil - another great recipe adapted from Bon Appetit. Butternut Squash Soup with Hazelnuts and Hazelnut Oil - By any measure, Thierry of Rover's Restaurant, here in Seattle, is an amazing chef. If I am looking for something unique and want to have a little fun, Thierry's cookbook is a good book to turn to. He serves this soup in a apple puff pastry — but I find it is perfection on its own. Orange Panna Cotta - also from Thierry. This sweet custard is served with a pomegranate sorbet (below). Pomegranate Sorbet - Yum! |
