Because I do a lot of cooking this time of the year, I thought it would only be appropriate to bring you reviews for product that could help in the kitchen as well. Although most of our minds are on shopping and preparing the house for the holidays, what about the food? Have you prepared your list of items that you are going to purchase from the grocery before your big Christmas dinner? If you are anything like me, you might be a procrastinator and wished you planned this far in advance. Wouldn’t it save you a lot of headache? Wouldn’t it make the holidays so much more enjoyable if you just had everything planned and laid out ahead of time? That’s exactly what I’m trying to do this year! I want to enjoy the holidays and I want to be stress free (or as close to it as I can get!)
One item that you may want to include on your grocery list this holiday season is products from The Olive Tap. They have unique olive oils and vinegars. Not only would they be great for YOU to cook with this holiday season, but they would also make a great gift for your foodie friends! I’m all about gifting something out of the norm. I get a little disappointed when the person I bought for opens 3 of the same gift I just purchased. I’m always trying to find something new and fun to give to those hard to buy for people on my list. I never would have thought to give olive oil or vinegar, but it makes perfect sense! The bottles that we received for review were so cute and the perfect size for a gift, or even a stocking stuffer!
The oils and vinegars range from Sicilian Lemon Balsamic Vinegar to Garlic Olive Oil that are Italian and California in origin. These artisan olive oils and vinegars vary in taste and flavor. The ones we tried were quite yummy and really enhanced our meals. I will definitely be using them again!
The Olive Tap carries nearly 60 unique olive oils and vinegars, which are available in 375 ml to 760 ml bottles that range from $9.45 to $33.90 and can be mixed and matched. They also offer gift baskets too so you can easily make it a gift!
