Qty 250 ml bottle $14.50 500 ml bottle $24.00 1/2 gallon (1892 ml) $65.00 Extra virgin olive oil with old-world flavor and a peppery finish. Manzanillo olive trees are native to Spain, where for many years it has been grown as one of the leading table varieties. In 1875 it was brought in to California from Spain and was soon found to be one of the best varieties imported from the Mediterranean countries. Qty 250 ml bottle $14.50 500 ml bottle $24.00 1/2 gallon (1892 ml) $65.00 Qty 250 ml bottle $14.50 500 ml bottle $24.00 1/2 gallon (1892 ml) $65.00 A smooth and buttery extra virgin olive oil with hints of apple. Mission oilve trees were introduced in California by seeds brought from San Blas, Mexico, in 1769, and planted at Mission San Diego by Junipero Serra and by Don Jose de Balves. The trees were soon in production at all the missions along the California Coast. As agricultural development of the state began, commercial olive orchards were planted, the nursery stock for which was grown from cuttings secured from the various missions. Qty 250 ml bottle $14.50 500 ml bottle $24.00 1/2 gallon (1892 ml) $65.00 Qty 375 ml bottle $26.00 Fresh, delicately floral aromas with a hint of apple peel, this extra virgin olive oil carries flavors of tender artichoke leaves and warmed fava beans. McEvoy ranch employs the Sinolea centrifugal extraction system: instead of pressing the olive paste between mats, thousands of stainless steel blades dive into the paste, emerging with droplets of pure oil. The result? A richly aromatic, peppery, green-gold oil. The slightly bitter and pungent finish is the true expression of the oil's Tuscan heritage. Named as the best olive oil by Wine Spectator. Qty 375 ml bottle $26.00 Qty Organic Canola Oil, 16 oz Qty Organic Coconut Oil, 16 oz For the past several decades, coconut oil (the fatty acids pressed from the coconut meat) was falsely accused of raising blood cholesterol levels. Yes, it is a highly saturated fat--meaning that it is solid at room temperature--but it's an exceptionally healthy fat for vegetarians and people with low fat / cholesterol consumption. It and palm oil are the only unrefined vegetarian fats that are not denatured when heated above 240 degrees. Health Benefits: Unrefined coconut oil is lower in calories than most fats and oils. Moreover, it is over 50 percent medium-chain fatty acids, the kind that are not stored as fat. Rather, the body metabolizes medium-chain fatty acids into energy. This makes coconut oil a favorite food of dieters and athletes. Possibly, however, coconut oil's most remarkable property is that it's one of the few significant plant sources of lauric acid. This medium-chain fatty acid, which is also found in human milk, enhances brain function and the immune system. Unrefined coconut oil is free of the toxic trans-fatty acids found in hydrogenated and refined oils. It does not clog the arteries or cause heart disease. Used for baking, pan-frying, and deep-frying, coconut oil is a superior oil. It has a toothsome texture with a pleasant mouth feel. Unlike other oils used for deep-frying it is reusable because it remains stable and does not form toxic trans-fatty acids. When heated to high temperatures, however, coconut oil bubbles and froths. To prevent it from bubbling over, deep-fry in a large container and tend carefully. In some applications using a fry-pan/pressure cooker, the type by Kuhn-Rikon, alleviates this problem. It's easy to substitute coconut oil for shortening, lard, or butter in pastries. However, reduce the coconut oil measurement by 25 percent because it is almost pure fat. It's more concentrated than shortening, lard, and butter, which contains upwards of 20 percent moisture and/or milk solids. Qty Organic Sunflower Oil, 16.9 oz This organic first cold pressed sunflower seed oil has the unmistakable flavor of fresh sunflower seeds. Qty Organic Safflower Oil, 16 oz Qty Organic Raw Sesame Oil, 8.5 oz Qty Organic Toasted Sesame Oil, 8.5 oz Qty Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, 12 oz Oil that is full of flavor and aroma, and is extracted from fresh coconuts. Qty Organic Balsamic Vinegar, 8.5 oz This balsamic vinegar is from Italy's famed Modena region, home of this ancient craft. The cooked mosto (must) from pressing organically grown grapes is slowly acidified in wooden casks over a period of years to produce a rich, sweet vinegar. Qty Organic Chianti Wine Vinegar, 8.45 oz Organic Chianti Wine Vinegar made by adding the juice of freshly pressed organic Chianti grapes to organic Chianti wine vinegar. The combination is then aged in wooden casks for a year to produce a dramatic flavor. It is called uvaggio, meaning grape fortified or extra grape. Made in the Chianti hills of Tuscany by Giuseppe Giglioli. A potent vinegar; use less than you would an ordinary wine vinegar. Qty Organic Brown Rice Vinegar, 12 oz Qty Organic Sweet Grape Vinegar, Italian biodynamic, 8.5 oz This unique vinegar is produced by the Guerzoni family in the Italian region of Emilia Romagna. The process begins with the ancient craft of slowly cooking fresh grape must (in Italian, Mosto Cotto) in huge kettles and reducing it to a rich liquid. The cooked must is fermented and acidified in oak casks, and aged for about seven years. Selected grapes (Salamino, Fortana, Trebbiano Bianco and Lancellotta) produce a vinegar that is high in sugars and low in acid. Use as a condiment at the table on meats and roasted vegetables. Delicious on salads and in marinades. Qty Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, 16 oz Traditionally made cider vinegar is nothing but freshly pressed apple juice allowed to ferment over a four to six-week period at room temperature. It contains no added clarifiers, enzymes, or preservatives. Rich with sediment and strongly acidic, a quality cider vinegar tastes like the apples from which it was pressed. Health Benefits: Vinegar immediately increases circulation and therefore moves stasis, be it emotional or physical. Due largely to its mineral content (especially potassium) and its ability to normalize the body's acid-alkaline balance, organic apple cider vinegar has long been valued as a versatile folk remedy. Internally it cleanses the digestive tract; externally, it disinfects any skin wounds or abrasions. Its acidity reportedly aids in the removal of calcium deposits from joints and blood vessels without affecting normal calcium levels in the bones and teeth. In the best-selling book Folk Medicine, Dr. DC Jarvis prescribes and old Vermont kitchen tonic - two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of honey in a cup of water - to treat chronic fatigue, headache, arthritis, colitis, obesity, food poisoning, kidney inflammation, insomnia, high blood pressure, dizziness, sore throat, and a host of other ailments in both humans as well as farm animals. Several centuries later, the effectiveness of this remedy is still attested to by countless individuals. It is a treatment, however, that I recommend only as a short-term symptomatic cure, since prolonged use does not address the root of the problem. As Paul Pitchford, teacher and author of Healing with Whole Foods, warns, regular use of a vinegar remedy can lead to a kind of vinegar dependency. Furthermore, he advises, it is contraindicated in cases of weak digestion marked by loose, watery stools; general deficiency (frailty); muscular injury or weakness, including rheumatism. Use: Apple cider vinegar is used in dressings, sauces, condiments, marinades, and pickles. Qty Organic Balsamic Vinegar, 17 oz From Modena, Italy, organic balsamic vinegar is made only from the trebbiano grapes and is both sweet and sour. It is used on salads, in desserts, and - provided it has been aged over 50 years - is a delicious beverage. As the vinegar ages, it is concentrated in a series of casks made from different types of wood; the first is oak, then chestnut, cherry, ash, and mulberry. The casks flavor the vinegar; no other flavoring agent is added. Qty
