Different olive oils are best for different uses - from cooking to dipping to finishing over hearty cooked fare. There's nothing like trying them side-by-side to taste and understand the differences (and what you really like best for what applications). This is a wonderful gift set or sampler for the foodies in your life, or if you want to try something new yourself!
Our Classic EVOO Tasting Set comes with 3 bottles each (choose from 100ml or 375ml sizes):
-
House Blend EVOO: Our California House Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a balanced, fruity, medium-bodied olive oil, suitable for all uses: sautés, vinaigrettes, marinades, baking, roasting, as a finishing oil, or simply for dipping with fresh bread—an affordable, delicious, dependable workhorse in any kitchen, professional or home.
-
Estate EVOO: A single varietal this year: Arbosana. It boasts a bright, fresh grass aroma followed by rich, buttery and fruity notes—the best of both worlds, grassy & buttery—with a mild, creamy finish and a wonderful viscosity. In keeping with our tradition of offering the best, mildest, richest oil from a single ranch as our Estate oil, this year's oil comes from a very small 3 acre plot of land in the Capay Valley we refer to as 'Mo's Ranch.'
-
Select EVOO: Also a single varietal oil this year, Taggiasca (one of the varietals we offered as 2023 Olio Nuovo). We harvested it in early October, so we were able to capture a mix of green and ripe fruit notes—a subtle, grassy bouquet, a creamy sweet flavor with just a hint of vanilla—combined with a mild, peppery piquancy that is more of a tongue tingler than a throat burner, and just a touch of perfect bitterness. A very well balanced, hits-all-the-notes oil that is one of the year's best!
As always, our olive oils are first- and cold-pressed, and grown herbicide and pesticide free.
Set comes with a set of recipe cards to kick-start the fun! More photos coming soon!
