Zi Olive on the North Shore

🫒🧠✨ A simple daily habit may help support long-term brain health—and it starts in your kitchen.

A Harvard University study following over 92,000 people for nearly 30 years found that consuming just a small amount of olive oil (about ½ tablespoon per day) was associated with a 28% lower risk of dementia-related death.

Even more encouraging? The benefits were seen regardless of overall diet quality—meaning olive oil alone may play a powerful role in supporting cognitive health as we age. 💚

Researchers suggest the key is simple: swap out other fats like butter, margarine, and mayonnaise and replace them with olive oil in everyday meals.

Easy ways to start:
🥗 Mix olive oil with vinegar or lemon for salad dressing
🥪 Use it instead of mayo in spreads and salads
🍞 Dip bread in olive oil instead of butter
🍳 Cook, sauté, and roast with olive oil
🥦 Drizzle over vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition

It’s a small change with meaningful potential benefits—both for your meals and your wellness journey. 🌿

🔥 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐎𝐢𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 & 𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐒𝐤𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 🔥

Smoky, simple, and packed with bold flavor. This is one of those recipes that tastes like summer cookouts in every bite.

INGREDIENTS:
•1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cubed
•2 tbsp 𝐙𝐢 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐎𝐢𝐥
•1 tbsp lemon juice (or 𝐙𝐢 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐫 for extra tang)
•2 cloves garlic, minced
•1 tsp salt
•1/2 tsp black pepper
•1 tsp paprika
•1 tsp honey (optional, balances the smoke)
•Bell peppers, red onion, zucchini (chunked for skewers)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mix 𝐙𝐢 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐎𝐢𝐥 , lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and honey in a bowl.
2. Toss chicken in the marinade and let it sit at least 30 minutes (longer = more flavor).
3. Thread chicken and vegetables onto skewers.
4. Grill over medium-high heat for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
5. Brush lightly with extra mesquite smoked olive oil right off the grill for extra smoky flavor.

💡 Tip: If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20–30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning or splintering.

🌿 Serving Ideas:
- Over rice or quinoa bowls
- On top of a fresh garden salad
- Wrapped in warm pita with tzatziki or garlic sauce
- Or straight off the grill 😄

🔥 Bonus: We also carry Bourbon Barrel Smoked and Hickory Smoked olive oils in shop if you want to try different smoky flavors. Come by 𝐙𝐢 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 and sample them!
