Flavored Olive Oil and Typical Uses:

Various flavoring methods are used to deliver the best tasting oils, and unlike many alternative products, ours use 100% extra virgin olive oil as the base!

Infused Olive Oil, Flavored Olive Oil, Garlic Olive Oil & More: Tuscan Herb, Garlic, Basil, Oregano, Scallion and Rosemary Olive Oils Usage applications include bread dipping, seasoning meats, seafood and vegetables, vinaigrettes and drizzling over pasta.

Lemon Olive Oil & Citrus Olive Oil: Lemon, Orange and Lime Olive Oils usage applications include seasoning seafood, chicken and beef, vinaigrettes, as well as dressing vegetables and fruits.

Butter Flavored Olive Oil: For those who want the health benefits of extra virgin olive oil with the creamy, sweet flavor of butter. Usage applications include most culinary situations where the recipe calls for butter, including drizzled over potatoes, sprayed on popcorn, in sauces and brushed on corn.

Nut & Seed Oils:

Roasted Sesame Oil and French Roasted Walnut Oil: These heart-healthy seed/nut oils have delicious flavors that can be used in cooking, baking and in salads.

Grapeseed Oil & Avocado Oil: Heart-healthy and flavor neutral oils; especially useful for high temperature frying and sautéing.

Hot Pepper Olive Oil and Chipotle Olive Oil: The pepper flavored EVOOs add zip to any dish. Chipotle is smoky with mild heat while Hot Pepper exhibits medium heat.

White Truffle Oil and Porcini Olive Oil: White Truffle Oil is in a class by itself. Produced for The Olive Tap by the renowned Savini Tartufi Tuscany Company, the unmistakable flavor and intense aroma of this oil is sought after by chefs and gourmet cooks. The Olive Tap Porcini flavored olive oil, also from Savini, adds an earthy mushroom flavor particularly suited to sauces, risotto, pasta and hearty meats.

Balsamic Vinegar of Modena

Our Balsamic Vinegar selections are sourced from the most respected producers in Modena, Italy. The artisans making the rare Tradizionale Balsamic Vinegar of Modena have adapted their methods to produce Aceto Balsamico di Modena, thereby meeting the demand for a less expensive but high quality Balsamic Vinegar.

Our Balsamic Vinegar Selections:

• PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) Certified by the European Union. This is your assurance the balsamic vinegar was been produced in Modena, Italy, under strict guidelines for method of production and materials.
• Evaluated by the AIB (Italian Association of Balsamic Tasters) and awarded 3 or 4 leaf quality ratings, 4 leaf being the highest quality.
• Tart to sweet, flavored to non-flavored, white to dark, and medium to thick densities. We can offer taste profiles for just about any palate or application.

Dark Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar:  Primarily used in salads, many of these vinegars do double duty as condiments, glazes and marinades.  Our most popular Balsamic Vinegar selections include:

• Aceto Balsamico DI Modena, 3 and 4 Leaf qualities. 4 leaf is thicker, sweeter and less acidic than 3 Leaf.
• Pomegranate, Tangerine, Raspberry, Fig, Apple, Bordeaux Cherry, and many more...

White Balsamic Vinegar:Not true balsamic vinegar, the white balsamic vinegar was originally developed as an alternative to the dark variety, which would discolor or alter the appearance of certain foods. All are refreshingly sweet, tart and distinct.

• Premium White, Oregano, Pineapple, Coconut, Lemon, award-winning Peach, Honey and more.

Wine Vinegars: Champagne and Champagne Pear, Sherry Reserve and Red Wine vinegar (Cabernet, Zinfandel, Merlot, seasonally).
