Regalo extends the olive branch in the Ojai Valley!



Most of us know that the #wine trail in Ventura County is definitely a must taste and worth exploring – however, if you want to take your culinary adventure off the beaten path and discover some new aromas and flavors, then add #Regalo Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tasting Room in the Ojai Valley to your journey - estate grown, handpicked, pesticide free, cold pressed, all right on the premises! Sample delicious olive oils and insane concoctions of balsamic vinegars that will have you inspired to grab your apron or at least start thinking about knocking out some early holiday shopping.

On arrival, I pulled into a single lane drive and was immediately teleported to a  villa in Italy!

I was graciously and warmly greeted by #Carolina Gramm, once a Chanel super model, now tasting room manager, entrepreneur (with a luxurious skin care line you can sample at the tasting room), as well as olive oil-balsamic mixologist.

Recipes are artfully positioned throughout the tasting room to further inspire your culinary creations…

And speaking of recipes... while you're perusing the shop, take a peak at #Cooking Techniques and Recipes with Olive Oil by #Mary Platis and #Laura Bashar. Regalo has autographed copies for sale. I do admit to having a plethora of cookbooks, however, this one particularly caught my attention, with fresh, new, interesting dishes and cocktails...I just couldn't resist.

Until next time...
Cheers and good dishes - Allison
