Olive Oil Tasting

We have started carrying more and more food items at Bella Vita because you have asked us to and because they really do make great gifts for foodies, hosts/hostesses, and even for yourself when you want to splurge a little.  Our latest intro at Bella Vita is olive oil.  I use olive oil almost on a daily basis because it is such a great, all-around, quite healthy oil to use.  Whether you are sauteing garlic or onions, adding it to pesto, rubbing it on a salmon steak, or tossing it in a salad, it truly is a fabulous oil that I have learned comes in so many different flavors.  And the unique flavors of the oil as well as the differences between virgin, extra virgin, cold-pressed, etc. all make a grand impact on what you are using it in or on.  It's kind of like wine - you experience it more fully when it is properly paired with other ingredients or with the cooking method that you are using.  Crazy, but true!

All that to say.....we have some fabulous olive oils here at Bella Vita, and we would like to share their unique flavors with you.  So, stop by on Saturday, October 15, from 11a-1p and join us for a little sampling.
