A young man in culinary school who loves our products and creates fabulous meals for his parents came up with this incredibly easy and unique recipe. We’re sure this recipe will take off nationwide, and therefore an evocative name that goes down in history! If you come up with the winning name, I will reward you with your favorite fused olive oil or vinegar!
Watermelon, Scallop, Vinegar — Who Knew?
One slice watermelon shaped into a square
One big scallop (seared or sauteed but already cooked)
1/1 equal parts Pomegranate and Cinnamon Pear Balsamic Vinegars
Sprig of basil for garnish
Put the scallop on top of the watermelon and drizzle the vinegar on top of the scallop. Garnish the stack with the basil. The watermelon will absorb most of the vinegar. Make as many as you wish, depending on whether you serve it as an appetizer or entree. With each bite it will burst in your mouth. How easy is that!!!!
Education is one of the things we at Naples Olive Oil Company are striving for. What makes us better? We buy from small batch growers all over the world. The harvests lucky enough to be bought from our distrubutor must go through a “council” where the oil is evaluated for its oleic content, acidity level, polyphenol count and of course it’s taste. Rather than “gourmet” oil we are proud to offer “pedigree” quality oil. My favorite is the Persion Lime Olive Oil. I use it on everything. Tonight I drizzled it over corn on the cob!! YUMMY!!
September is upon us and only a short time before season starts again. Thanks to all of my wonderful customers the summer has been strong. Here are a couple of pairing suggestionss that were favorites last month.
Lime olive oil, Jalepeno white balsamic and Basic citrus blend makes a to die for combo. Use it to dip, dressing, drizzle over veggies (especially corn on the cob) any leftovers use to marinade. Totally addicting.
Also Walnut oil w/Cherry balsamic — huge seller this summer. Great dressing throw some nuts in the salad — yum yum
until next time — happy and healthy eating!! Marie
I think I have a great blog and get lots of wonderful comments from my much loved followers and fellow “oilies” however on my most recent post I did get reprimanded about the spelling errors which are clearly and admittedly professionally unacceptable. So I have to admit to you all that I have not been personally blogging. I have a team that works on my website with very talented people. The young man who has been ghost blogging is really the one with all the clever posts –he is wonderful (and very cute!) but it is now time for me to take over the reigns (that’s probably not the right spelling either) . So since I am an olive oil entrepreneur not a spelling teacher my posts will most likely always have some errors– so please extrapalate the content and overlook the rest. Thank you to all my customers and online followers– we are continually striving for new product and an ever evolving cyber presence. And this completes my as promised second blog this week.
as promised I am blogging. Please comment to my posts as I really want to write about things you want to know. My new favorite is vanilla balsamic vinegar over vanilla flavored greek lowfat yogurt —YUM YUM YUM I have it every night as a desert. The balsmic flavors a liquer as opposed vinegar. The calcium in the yogurt is completely absorbable — no preservatives or anything that will eventually kill you. And it tastes Great. — try it.
This is my promise to you, my customers, that I will be wayyyyyyyy better at blogging than I have been in the past. If I don’t post at least twice per week, every customer that has ordered online in the past will get a voucher for a free bottle of olive oil, no strings attached.
I recently came across a recipe that I had had had to share with you. It’s extremely simple, healthy, and flavorful! Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar, that’s it. Now, here’s what I do.
First, you will want to cut the stems off your strawberries. You can use however many you want, but I’ll base the measurements on 1 pound (16 oz.) of strawberries. After you finishing cutting the stems, you will pour approximately 2-3 tablespoons of either traditional balsamic (my preference) or strawberry balsamic vinegar over the strawberries. You can find the Traditional 18 Year Balsamic Vinegar here and the Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar here. After drizzling the balsamic vinegar over the strawberries, simply sprinkle 1/4 cup of sugar over the bowl and place in the refrigerator 1 hour before it’s ready to be served.
I know you will enjoy this wonderful Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar recipe.
Hi Everybody,
First of all thank you for all of your support! We have been growing rapidly and just having more and more happy, healthy people enter my life every single day. To me, nothing is better than watching people taste the flavored olive oil and balsamic vinegars and watching the looks on their faces. It’s quite an incredible experience.
Ok, so onto the summer special. Many of our local customers have traveled up north for the summer and have been saying that they want to order online, but shipping has been too expensive. I get it, I get it! For all of you loyal customers and new customers, I am running a summer special with a $5 flat shipping rate. That means you can order as many bottles as you like, and I’ll eat the extra shipping costs! Also, if you order 10 or more bottles, you get free shipping altogether. Can’t beat that, right? Ok, as always, we’re open to any feedback (as long as it’s positive ). Have a great day!
Ever heard of Olive oil to wash your dog? Yes, it may sound weird but a lot of people are doing it. When you use Olive oil to wash your dog it actually helps the health of the skin and the coat of the dog. You want to make sure you are using the right type of Olive Oil though, for example, you probably do not want to use Garlic Olive oil to wash your dog due to the smell but using Olive oil to wash your dog is a really great thing to do and with the cost of good pet shampoos it really isn’t that much different in cost.
Feel free to browse our store for all of the different types of Olive Oil.
