Path to Gold: Artisan Olive Oil

With so many choices available, shopping for olive oil can be quite a task. There are oils from Italy, Tunisia, Greece and Morocco – and they all have different flavors. But why import when a fabulous artisanal olive oil can be had locally and organically, from Tehama Gold, a family-owned and operated business in Northern California.
The first time I tasted this tawny olive oil, my eyes popped wide open in delight. Literally golden in color, Tehama Gold olive oil is more viscous than other oils I’ve tried and has a rich and complex flavor. This fragrant oil is a must for any discerning chef.
By chance encounter, I recently met Susie, owner and co-founder of Tehama Gold, and seeing the pride and love that she and her family have for the oil they are creating literally makes the flavor even richer.

That sounds terrific.
In fact, to a true olivoilophile like me, that sounds unmissable.
