So I know when most of us think of olive oil we think of the green liquid with a buttery taste that you mix with vinegar to eat with bread or dress-up a salad. But times have changed, turning that boring staple into a unique food category of its own.
I just visited "We Olive," a olive oil tasting room and gift shop in downtown San Luis Obispo (958 Higuera Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401) and was amazed by what I discovered. Not only do they have rosemary olive oil, but they also have vinegar, with flavors ranging all the way from a classic balsamic to peach!
The thought of drinking straight olive oil or vinegar may be making your stomach churn, but the tasting experience is very much like wine tasting. They pour you a small amount in a cup, you swirl it, smell it, and drink it. If this is still too much to take they have bread for you to compliment the taste.
You will be amazed with what you learn and find new ways to change that boring olive oil and vinegar into something brand new!!
