Hello Friends!
We are open today from 11am - 4pm. Happy 4th of July to all of you! Especially on this unique 250th celebration of our country's birth. I was a young teen during our country's bicentennial in 1976 and this had been reminding me of how special that time felt, but with some unique differences, of course. Happy birthday, America!
As you head into all that July brings with long, sunny days, backyard gatherings, and an abundance of fresh seasonal flavors, it's a perfect time to let exceptional olive oil shine - from vibrant salads and grilled vegetables to wings, salmon, marinades and summer desserts. Check out the recipes towards the end of this message that you can use this month or all summer long and many more are on our website at abitoftaste.com/recipes.
Thank you for being a part of our community and we hope our ultra-premium olive oils & balsamics continue to bring flavor, inspiration, and a touch of the Mediterranean to your summer table.
Warmly,
Debe & the team at A Bit of Taste
P.S. I just finished a week of vacation at the Oregon coast, which made it challenging to share this newsletter with you more timely. I thought it would be fun to share a precious image of my family showing how the twins have grown. Many of you have seen them in images since they were babies when we opened the store four years ago.

Product News
Extra Virgin Olive Oil update: Our ultra-premium extra virgin olive oil table is always changing with the freshest olive oils available. A few new olive oils from the northern hemisphere have arrived. They are on our website, and listed below. Please check at abitoftaste.com, or call or email, if you'd like the latest information.
We continue many of the olive oils we've had available, but expect some from the southern hemisphere crush to start arriving soon.
Our highest biophenol EVOO is still available: the organic Chetoui EVOO (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/chetoui-evoo-organic/215) with 733 ppm. This oil is reminiscent of a Northern Italian style and displays a spectacularly aromatic nose with savory notes of wheatgrass, artichoke heart and ample bitterness. It is sure to please those of you who like a robust style of olive oil.
A Portuguese Koroneiki EVOO (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/koroneiki-evoo-robust/50) from the current crush is now available and we also have a robust Picual.
We still have Arbequina (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/arbequina-evoo-robust-/153) , Barnea (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/barnea-evoo/188) , Frantoio (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/frantoio-evoo-medium/713) , and Coratina (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/coratina-evoo-medium/159) EVOO's available. And a new mild Arbosana (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/arbosana-evoo-mild-/500) arrived recently.
~ Good News! The very popular Watermelon Rose' Balsamic (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/watermelon-rose-balsamic/LQCJBE3QZKRBMH3LHI5WIBRZ) is back! We plan to carry this for a few months since it was so popular last year. Our favorite pairing with it is our Persian Lime Olive Oil (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/persian-lime-olive-oil/141) .
~ Sadly, the A-Premium White Balsamic is almost gone and no more is available from our supplier, but we have a few bottles left. Once gone, the Ultra Premium White Balsamic is a good substitute, but it is sweeter and not as tart as the A-Premium for those of you who prefer that flavor note.
Did your favorite olive oil or balsamic disappear?
Every now and then, our supplier will discontinue a flavor so we can no longer stock it. What are you to do when you come in to replace your stash and it's gone? Here are some items we can no longer get/stock and their best substitution.
~ Lavendar Dark Balsamic: it's unique, so best substitution is Traditional Dark Balsamic
~ Elderberry Dark Balsamic: Raspberry or Black Cherry Dark Balsamic
~ Black Currant Dark Balsamic: Raspberry or Black Cherry Dark Balsamic
~ Umeboshi Plum White Balsamic: Apricot or Peach White Balsamic
~ Mani Orange Olive Oil: Blood Orange Olive Oil
~ Pinot Noir Specialty Vinegar: Lambrusco Wine Vinegar
~ Serrano Honey Vinegar: nothing like it, so best substitution is a mix of Honey Ginger White Balsamic and Jalapeno White Balsamic
~ Thyme, Sage, and Oregano Olive Oils: Wild Mushroom & Sage is a good herbacious olive oil to substitute. Or try Oregano White Balsamic paired with any EVOO for that wonderful oregano flavor.
July
4th of July, July 4
What could be more American than a grilled Taco Burge (https://www.abitoftaste.com/s/stories/grilled-taco-burger) r? It's a burger with taco seasonings and toppings. See the recipe below.
National Cherry Day, July 16
Summer means cherries and we are so happy about it! Eating them all on their own is good enough, but using our Black Cherry Balsamic (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/black-cherry-dark-balsamic/121) in recipes makes it even better. See our Black Cherry Pork Chops (https://www.abitoftaste.com/s/stories/black-cherry-pork-chops) and Salmon with Cherry Balsamic Sauce (https://www.abitoftaste.com/s/stories/panseared-salmon-with-black-cherry-vinaigrette-sauce) below.
National Chicken Wing Day, July 29
We're not bragging, but there are a lot of chicken wing recipes on our website. We must be fans. This month we're featuring Tropical Grilled Chicken Wings with Mango Pineapple Salsa (https://www.abitoftaste.com/s/stories/tropical-grilled-chicken-wings-with-mango-pineapple-salsa) (because it uses mustard for National Mustard Day and because they're wings for National Chicken Wing Day), and Chimichurri Wings (https://www.abitoftaste.com/s/stories/chimichurri-wings) (because, and this will surprise you, it's National Chicken Wing Day and one of our flavors of the Month is Chimichurri Verde Olive Oil).
National Mustard Day, August 1
We offer two kinds of mustard from Paradigm, Champagne Honey (https://www.abitoftaste.com/product/mustard-paradigm/397) (their version of Dijon), and Fig Balsamic. As you read above, there is Champagne Honey mustard in the Tropical Grilled Chicken Wings. Use your imagination on how to use both or come in and get expert advice from our staff.
