Skip the neon sports drink. Michelle shows you how she makes a homemade electrolyte drink with water, coconut water, a pinch of Himalayan salt and a spoonful of our Strawberry Kiwi Rose Balsamic. Toss in a few strawberries and some mint and you're done.

It's light, fruity and really refreshing after a workout (or a long afternoon of errands). Give it a try and tell us how you like it!

We had a blast with Rachel and her friends on Friday! They found out olive oil and balsamic go way beyond salad (the brownies were a hit). Then they had the whole shop to themselves for some private shopping. Thinking about a girls’ night, birthday, or team outing? We’d love to host you 🫒

What a day on Main Street! We handed out over 1,000 pieces of candy and more than 400 cups of popcorn to the grown-ups who walked the route with their little ones. Shoutout to the Sour Patch Kid and the whole crew in orange. Thanks for stopping by, Glen Ellyn 🎃

Bourbon fans, this one’s for you. 🥃

We now carry bourbon-smoked spices (sea salt, pepper, togarashi, citrus pepper, and chef’s blend), Kentuckyaki, Bluegrass soy sauce, Henry Bain’s Famous Sauce, Old Forester cocktail cherries, bourbon smoked chili peanuts, and a dark hot chocolate with bourbon smoked sea salt. They’re great for the grill, for your bar cart, and for anyone on your gift list who loves bold flavor.

The simplest thing on our tasting table, and every single time, it's the one people ask us to make again at home. 🍅

Tomato Bruschetta with Aged Balsamic & Garlic EVOO is five minutes of work and gone in about ninety seconds at the party. Toast the bread, toss the tomatoes with fresh basil, and finish with a real drizzle of balsamic.

Here's the thing about bruschetta: it lives or dies entirely on its ingredients. There's nowhere to hide a mediocre olive oil or a thin balsamic. Our Infused Garlic Olive Oil means you skip mincing a single clove and still get deep, roasted garlic flavor through the whole dish. And a properly aged balsamic is thick enough to sit exactly where you drizzle it, instead of running right off the tomatoes and pooling at the bottom of the plate.

On a dish this simple, the quality of two ingredients is the entire recipe. These are the two people come back for once they taste what a real version of "olive oil and balsamic" actually tastes like.

How can you tell if your olive oil has gone bad? Michelle walks you through it in under a minute. 🫒

Taste it first. Fresh olive oil should taste like green grass, fruity, or a little peppery. Then smell it. If it reminds you of old crayons, Play-Doh, or motor oil, it’s time to let it go.

And if that bottle has been in your pantry for more than 12 months, come see us for a fresh one. We’ll help you find your new favorite.
