From Olives to Oil

Porcini & Sage Extra Virgin Olive Oil

$19.50

Imagine delicate, round, and savory porcini mushrooms touched with a dash of freshly picked sage – and we have harnessed that flavor perfectly in this fantastic olive oil. Our Porcini Mushroom & Sage infused EVOO begins with a soft and delicate porcini flavor that is balanced by just enough fresh sage to give it an earthy and smooth aroma. This olive oil truly captures all the wonderful flavors that come with cooking with mushrooms. Try it to dress gnocchi, pasta, or risotto, but we just can’t get enough of it in Gruyere and mushroom omelettes. While it is just as good to finish braised or grilled meats, we highly recommend it in soups and stews.
