Tips For Selecting & Presenting These Gifts
Pairings matter: Many of these sampler sets are built around flavor harmony — Olive Oil and matching Vinegar combinations (e.g. herb-infused with complementary fruit notes).
Start simple: For new enthusiasts, the under-$30 dipping or pairing sets are wonderful introductions.
Go custom: The “You Pick” series lets you tailor the gift to tastes (e.g. citrus lover, balsamic enthusiast).
Box vs Sampler bottles: The fuller boxed sets (Duo, Bread Dipper Box) offer more gravitas and presence — perfect when presentation is key.
