May "Olive"
Your
Dreams Come True
One of our favorite Food Finds of the year was when we had a weekend getaway this late spring to the wine country
in Temecula, Calironia. In Old Town Temecula we spotted an quaint little country shop with it's shingle hanging, offering
Olive Oil tasting. We entered the cafe/gift shop and were invited to "belly up" to the bar.. where we enjoyed the sampling
of several of their delicious olive oils, also while learning about the passions of the grower/olive oil maker and family.
This holiday we are sharing our find with gift packs of olive oils and olives from the Temecula Olive Oil Company
with our friends and family.
