Barnea Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Crushed in March of 2023, this early harvest EVOO from Peru is one of the finest examples of the Barnea variety we’ve come across. It has an exceptionally fruity taste, with notes of tropical fruit, green apple peel and banana, and a lovely, peppery bite. While robust and intensely flavorful, Barnea Extra Virgin Olive Oil has only a hint of bitterness, making it the ideal base for a homemade salad dressing with one of our Dark or White Balsamic Vinegars.

Estate Reserva Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Also from Peru, our Estate Reserva Extra Virgin Olive Oil features Barnea, Arbequina, Coratina and Kalamata olives,sourced from a single estate and crushed in March of 2023.  This lovely EVOO has a creamy mouth feel, with notes of green apple, and floral and leafy green vegetal flavors. We think it’s the perfect complement to panzanella salad, spinach ravioli, or a rustic loaf of freshly baked artisan bread.

Umeboschi Plum Balsamic

This white Balsamic is infused with the Umeboschi plum, a pickled sour plum grown originally in Japan, now grown in California. The flavor is a unique cross between plum and apricot, and it is sweet tart with lucious floral notes.

Ingredients
Cauliflower
8 cups chopped cauliflower, bite-sized florets (1 medium-large head)
2 Tbsp Tubby Olive Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup cornstarch

Sauce
2-3 tsp chili-garlic sauce
3 Tbsp tamari
1 Tbsp maple syrup
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp Tubby Olive Ginger & Black Garlic Olive Oil (available in-store only)
2 small cloves garlic, minced or crushed
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for more heat)

Directions
Preheat the oven to 450°. Line 2 large baking sheets with silicone baking mats or foil. If using foil, lightly grease with additional oil to prevent sticking.

Wash cauliflower and pat dry. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower with the oil and salt to coat. Sprinkle in the cornstarch and toss again to coat. Arrange the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet(s) in a single layer, allowing space between the florets to encourage crispiness. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly browned and slightly crispy on the edges. Wipe the bowl clean for later use.
Prepare the sauce in the same large mixing bowl. Whisk together the chili garlic sauce, tamari, maple syrup, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes (optional). Taste test and adjust as needed, adding more chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes for heat, maple syrup for sweetness, or garlic or ginger for zing. When the cauliflower is lightly browned, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then transfer it to the mixing bowl of sauce and toss to coat thoroughly.

Spread the cauliflower out on the baking sheet again and reserve any extra marinade for serving. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until sizzling, golden brown on the edges, and tender (but not mushy). Serve the cauliflower with rice or quinoa and steamed veggies, and garnish with green onion, sesame seeds, and any leftover marinade. Serves 4.

Colleen Greene, a Pennsylvania-based glass designer of Fire & Fusion Design, creates artisan-crafted fused glass designs, both artistic and functional. Colleen created these unique olive oil dipping dishes just for The Tubby Olive, using inspiration from the Tubby Olive color palette of burgundy, dark green, and gold, and the olive based on the store logo. Her meticulous process involves two 8-hour firings.

“The process of glass fusion amazes me in that you can take mere shards of transparent, opaque, iridescent, dichroic and colored glass, cut them in various shapes and sizes, layer them, and fire them in a kiln to create amazing effects,” says Colleen. “The transformation from individual pieces of glass to the finished product is incredible.”

Colleen has handcrafted one-of-a-kind functional and decorative fused glass artwork, dishes, and jewelry over the past 10 years. “I hope that my creations speak to you on a personal level, whether you give them to someone as a special gift or use them to brighten your own life.”
