Patricia & Paul – Artisans of Fine Oils and Balsalmics

If you’re like most people, you probably have a bottle of olive oil in your cabinet that you picked up in the grocery store, use occasionally in cooking, and don’t give much thought to.  Olive oil is olive oil, right?

Wrong.  It is nothing short of astounding what a difference the use of a GOOD olive oil can make in your foods . . . . both to your health, and to the taste of your food.  And, considering the versatility of olive oil, it definitely makes it worth putting a little extra thought into your olive oil choice.  If you’ve ever experienced REAL olive oil, then you know what an amazing taste it can add to your foods, and you might even find yourself more willing to add this very healthy food item to your diet on a more regular basis and in a larger variety of ways.
