October’s Flavors of the Month are here, and this pairing was made for fall!

This month we’re bringing together two customer favorites — Bacon Olive Oil and Maple Balsamic. Each offers plenty of possibilities on its own, but put them together and you’ve got a pairing that’s perfect for everything from breakfast to dinner!

Bacon Olive Oil gives everyday dishes a rich, smoky twist! Use it for frying or scrambling eggs, mix it into burgers or meatballs before cooking, toss with roasted potatoes or vegetables, drizzle over baked potatoes, or use it to add a little bacon flavor to soups, beans, and pasta dishes.

Our Maple Balsamic has a warm maple sweetness and is made for so much more than pancakes and waffles! Use it in marinades for pork and chicken, mix it with Dijon to glaze ham, toss it with sweet potatoes or carrots before roasting, or add a splash to fruit, Greek yogurt, or vanilla ice cream.

And when Bacon meets Maple... that’s where the fun really begins!

Try this sweet-and-savory duo together:
• On roasted Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes
• As a glaze or marinade for pork tenderloin or chicken
• Drizzled over fresh biscuits, breakfast potatoes, or a savory breakfast bowl
• In a warm bacon-maple vinaigrette for a fall salad
• Brushed over roasted squash

Indiana Rick is at it again! 👨‍🍳

One of our favorite out-of-town regulars sent us another one of his delicious culinary creations, and this one was too good not to share!

Rick whipped up bucatini with a burst Campari tomato sauce featuring red pepper, fennel, and garlic. He topped it with creamy burrata and lemon-fennel toasted breadcrumbs, then finished it with a drizzle of olive oil and our Vinoso Barbaresco red w**e vinegar — and just look at that plate! 😍

He calls it the “perfect bright Mediterranean summer dish” — a pretty delicious way to hang onto summer just a little longer!

Rick stops in to see us whenever he’s in town visiting his dad, and we’re already looking forward to seeing him again in a few weeks. Until then, we’ll happily keep admiring his creations from afar!

Keep ‘em coming, Rick! 🤌🏼

September's Flavors of the Month are Black Garlic Balsamic, Herbs di Napoli Balsamic, and Black Truffle Garlic Butter Olive Oil!

This month, we’re putting the spotlight on three bold and delicious flavors! The Black Garlic Balsamic is rich, savory, and slightly sweet with deep roasted garlic flavor. Herbs di Napoli Balsamic brings a sweet, savory, and herbaceous flavor with a bright, fruity finish. And Black Truffle Garlic Butter Olive Oil combines buttery garlic with earthy black truffle for a decadent finishing touch.

The Black Garlic Balsamic is wonderful in marinades and glazes, drizzled over roasted vegetables, whisked into vinaigrettes, or brushed over chicken, pork, or steak. Its deep, savory flavor makes it an easy way to add richness to everyday dishes.

The Herbs di Napoli Balsamic is incredibly versatile! Whisk it into vinaigrettes for simple salads, use it to marinate meats or vegetables, add it to homemade chutneys for cheese and charcuterie boards, or even drizzle it over poached pears for a sweet and tangy finish.

The Black Truffle Garlic Butter Olive Oil adds rich, savory flavor to pasta, potatoes, risotto, pizza, eggs, steak, and roasted vegetables. Try drizzling it over freshly popped popcorn for an easy gourmet twist, or simply warm it for dipping crusty bread!

There’s plenty to love about all three, and even more to discover when you start pairing! Stop in and let us show you some of our favorite combinations.

There’s more to discover at The Ancient Olive than what’s in the pantry!

Tucked into one of our favorite corners of the store, you’ll find a beautiful collection of soaps and candles that smell every bit as good as they look!

Our Wavertree & London soaps are made in Australia using a specialty milling process that removes excess air and moisture, creating a dense, long-lasting bar with a rich, creamy lather. And can we talk about that packaging?! Each bar is wrapped in beautiful Italian-made embossed paper, making them almost too pretty to unwrap!

Golden Laureate brings one of our favorite ingredients out of the kitchen and into your bath! Their natural soaps use virgin olive oil as a base, along with other natural oils, herbs and essential oils. They’re also vegan and made without animal fats, lard or tallow — a pretty perfect fit for The Ancient Olive, don’t you think?

And don’t forget the candles! Milkhouse Candle Co. candles are made with 100% renewable wax and premium fragrances — without dyes, lead, parabens or paraffin. With plenty of fragrances to choose from, you may have a hard time picking just one!

So next time you stop in for your favorite olive oil, balsamic or pantry treat, take a little detour through our soap & candle corner. You just might find a new favorite there, too!
