EXTRA VIRGIN
OLIVE OIL
Sonoma County | Tuscan Blend
This rich, robust finishing oil is a perfect topper for dishes of all kinds.
From pasta to proteins and soups to salads, our EVOO adds notes of white pepper and freshly-cut grass for those who love a peppery, earthy flavor profile.
Whether you drizzle over a dish or dip it with freshly baked bread, a little goes a long way with oil as intense and aromatic as ours!
“Just as you’d share a bottle of wine at a dinner party, or a dish at a potluck, we hope folks will bring our olive oil to share with their friends and family. Our super oil can brighten dishes every day.”

THE PERFECT PAIRINGS
Italian Citrus Salad
-
2 tbsp sherry vinegar
4 tbsp LUSH EVOO
Flaky salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
2 oranges
4 blood oranges
1 small grapefruit
1 shallot*
1 fennel bulb*
1 small radicchio*
2 cups arugula
Olives, to taste
*very thinly sliced
-
Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together lush and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Combine the shallot, fennel, olives and salt.
Peel the fruit using a serrated knife. First, cut off a thin slice of peel from the top and bottom of the orange, so it can sit flat and securely on the cutting board. Use a sawing motion to take off the peel, cutting from top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit. Remove only the peel and white pith.
Carefully slice citrus. Arrange slices on a large serving platter in a random pattern. Scatter onion, fennel and celery over top. Dot the surface with olives. Surround with radicchio and arugula.
Whisk vinaigrette, and spoon evenly over the salad. Sprinkle lightly with flaky salt and serve.
