Make your Autumn produce shine with just a drizzle of our olive oils and vinegar. Camilla M. Mann, Epicure thinly sliced watermelon radish and roasted golden beets in a carpaccio-inspired appetizer. Then she finished it with a drizzle of our co-milled Lemon Olive Oil and our 30-Year White W**e Vinegar. Just a sprinkle of salt and pepper and some herbs and you are golden!

If you were at our Pickup Party on the patio this weekend, you might have tried these Satsuma Thumbprints that Camilla M. Mann, Epicure made for us. She shared the so we can make them for ourselves!

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup Frantoio Olive Oil
1/4 cup Blood Orange Olive Oil
1/2 cup organic granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon Satsuma White Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-1/4 cup flour
zest from 1 organic orange
Also needed: orange marmalade

PROCEDURE
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Place all of the ingredients - up to the flour - in a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk to create a smooth slurry texture. Fold in the flour until just moistened. Then knead it into a cohesive ball.

Pinch off pieces of dough and form into small balls, about the size of a walnut in its shell. Place each ball onto a parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet, pressing a "thumbprint" into the center of each and slightly flattening. (The cookies will not spread, so make them the size that you want!)

Bake until golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. While the cookies are still warm, spoon about 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of jam to each thumbprint. Let cookies cool for several minutes on the sheet before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

That's it!

What an incredible few days we’ve had!
Two events, almost back-to-back, and so many wonderful people along the way.
Last Thursday, we set up our tasting table Taste Of Carmel 🍷 at the beautiful Carmel Mission. What a night! It was so much fun seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and feeling so much love and support from our local community. We truly loved every minute of it.
Then yesterday, my mom and I packed up and traveled from Carmel Valley to Sacramento for the Sierra 2 Sip & Savor event in Curtis Park. Sierra 2 Center From 4–7 PM, we had the pleasure of spreading the word about The Quail & Olive, pouring tastes of our California extra virgin olive oils and balsamics, and meeting so many people who were genuinely excited to learn, taste, and discover something new.
We also met some incredible chefs, restaurateurs, and fellow food lovers along the way — and had SO much fun doing it!
Days like these remind us just how fortunate we are to do what we do. We are truly grateful to everyone who stops by our table, visits our shop, shops with us online, tells a friend about us, or simply shares their love of good food with us.
Thank you for allowing The Quail & Olive to be your Central Coast destination for exceptional California EVOO and balsamics. We are so proud to call Carmel Valley Village home — and even more proud to take a little taste of it on the road with us!
From Carmel to Sacramento, thank you for welcoming us with open arms. What a weekend!

🫒 Have you pre-ordered your Olio Nuovo yet?
We recently visited the olive orchard to check on this year’s crop, and let me tell you—the olives are looking AMAZING! We cannot wait for this year’s fresh harvest.
Our Olio Nuovo is the very first olive oil of the new harvest—freshly milled, vibrant, unfiltered, and meant to be enjoyed while it’s incredibly fresh.
We expect our 2026 Olio Nuovo to arrive by the third week of November, but quantities are limited.
Have you pre-ordered yours yet? If not, now is the time! Once our supply is spoken for, that’s it until next year’s harvest.
🫒 PRE-ORDER TODAY:
