A Taste of Italy

In-store olive oil tasting with Walter & Mike of Pogliani Select

Olive oil has been valued for thousands of years. In ancient Athens, winners at the Panathenaic Games received decorated jars filled with oil from sacred olive groves, a practical treasure bestowed as an honor. 

For us, this association gives a bottle of olive oil particular meaning at the holidays. It’s a way to thank a host, welcome someone to a new home or wish a friend many good meals ahead. Its pleasure is in everyday use, whether poured over warm beans, whisked into a dressing or set on the table with bread to share.

Stop by between noon and 3pm to sample the oils with Walter and Mike, compare their flavors, and ask questions about choosing and using them. Find a bottle for someone who loves to cook or one for your own holiday table.
