Olive & Basket — Attraction in Ballenger Creek

Wow! What a great shop with so many good things to choose from. The novello oils are out of this world. I am working on the last of my oil from Uruguay; the aroma and taste of the oil is so fresh. It reminds me of the oil I had in Tuscany a few years ago. I got a large container of the bonsecco and use it in my everyday cooking. I spent a lot of time in the store trying everything. The staff is energetic about the products they offer. They gave me several pairings of flavored oil with flavored vinegars. I never knew something could be so delicious. The lemon oil with the mango vinegar is fantastic together. Lots of spices too! I really like the Mediterranean spices; very different.

To top it all off, they offered recipe cards that could be added to the gifts, so that our guests could make amazing foods out of it. Words cannot express how amazing, helpful and friendly everyone was that we interacted with. We will be eternally grateful for their help in making our wedding day one for our guests and us, ...
