For the cook

Frog Hollow, Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Few ingredients are as versatile as great olive oil. From dipping bread, to pasta with garlic and olive oil, or a classic salad with balsamic and olive oil, there is a reason why olive oil is a staple in kitchens around the world. Frog Hollow’s organic extra virgin olive oil is made with four varieties of olives, Frantoio, Leccino, Maurino, and Pendolino, that are handpicked and cold pressed. The result is a buttery, bright, slightly peppery olive oil with a truly silken texture. It is sure to wow everyone, even cooks with the pickiest of palates!

This delicious breakfast treat features Camino Verde, Ecuador 70% chocolate and Costa Esmeraldas cacao nibs blended with whole grain oats, puffed quinoa, hazelnuts, maple syrup, dried Michigan cherries, flaky toasted coconut, and a hint of maple syrup and sea salt.

For the self-care enthusiast

Villa Floriani, Olive Oil Satin Body Spray

Winter makes us think of snow, cold weather, hot cocoa, ice skating, and, unfortunately, dry winter air. It is the perfect time of year for Villa Floriani’s luxurious olive oil satin body spray. It is truly lotion 2.0. The spray absorbs into your skin almost immediately, leaving a light, almost floral scent that Villa Floriani describes as the scent of an Italian Olive Grove. Not only will it quickly become the replacement for every body lotion you have, but it can also be lightly misted over your hair to add moisture and shine.
