Do it.
This is not a recommendation. This is a command.
I failed to mention earlier about the delightful food that we had at Jhames’ welcome shindig the other night. Perrin, a pal of Jhames who is both a chef and business woman with her won catering company, was kind enough to share some of her family’s olive oil, from Thomes Creek Olive Oil, with our merry crew.
Oh delight my soul. You could *taste* the spring & summer and sunshine in the olive oils. Have you *ever* experienced that? Wild & herby and a little smokey & acidic but extraordinarily well balanced? Damn skippy. A little drop of heaven drizzled on plain, fresh bread. Perfection.
Perrin, who has a wonderfully warm laugh as big as her heart and is my new cooking hero, brought two varietels for us.
100% Mission California Style
Cold pressed, extra virgin, unfiltered. A fantastic cooking oil as it’s really well balanced, soft on the tongue yet a zinger, outrageously aromatic.
$13 for 750 ML bottle.
Buy yourself 3 bottles or a case. You’ll be mad at yourself if you don’t. You think I’m kidding but I’m dead serious.
Ascolano Blend
POW! Strong backbone on this oil. Smooth, rich, and peppery/grassy notes. A drizzle/topper to food. Shazowy. Excellent to dip fresh bread in. I can only imagine what nice roasted vegs drizzled with this might do to me. I could faint. No really.
$8 for a 375 ML bottle.
Buy yourself at least 2 bottles. You’ll really kick yourself in the balls if you don’t. I’m still so not kidding.
No website yet as it’s a family owned and run company. (But I’m assured it’s coming soon).

Tell them I sent you.
Werd.
