Herbs de Provence Olive Oil

Our ever-popular Herbs de Provence Olive Oil features top notes of savory thyme and bay leaf. Complex yet versatile, this natural, herb-infused oil is a showstopper when drizzled over grilled chicken, rubbed on turkey before roasting, or in a homemade aioli. We also recommend lightly whisking it with our Tangerine Balsamic as a dip for warm and crusty French bread, which will surely bring a smile to your face!

Wild Fernleaf Dill Olive Oil

This aromatic, infused olive oil is also extremely versatile, with the distinctly delightful flavor of fresh dill. Use it as an ingredient in tartar sauce, deviled eggs, or potato salad, or drizzle it over cucumbers, spinach, fish, poultry, and meats. We also recommend our Smoked Salmon Nicoise Salad recipe, featuring Wild Fernleaf Dill Olive Oil and Champagne Vinegar, or pair it with our Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic in a homemade dressing or marinade.

Basil Olive Oil

Light and sublimely satisfying, our Basil Olive Oil fuses together the flavors of fresh, green herbs and olives for a taste that is synonymous with Mediterranean cooking. Like warm sunshine in a bottle, try it over fresh greens or a classic caprese salad, and let your taste buds travel to the shores of Italy and Greece. Or try our Watermelon, Strawberry and Arugula Salad, paired with our Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar. It’s pure bliss!

Tuscan Herb Olive Oil

This delicious blend of herbs, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic will take you from the shores of the Mediterranean Sea to the Italian countryside. Our Tuscan Herb Olive Oil is irresistible and adds a splash of flavor in a wide variety of culinary applications. For inspiration, check out our recipes for Baked Eggs with Potatoes in Pastry Cups and this Vegetable Bake casserole, or try a fire grilled white pizza with a base of Tuscan Herb Olive Oil.

Other herb-infused olive oils include our Wild Mushroom and Sage Olive Oil, Cilantro and Roasted Onion Olive Oil, and Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil.

Speaking of the world, do you know that The Tubby Olive offers premium extra virgin olive oils from around the globe? We begin to learn of the Southern Hemisphere olives that will be harvested and freshly pressed for our products in March. These typically arrive in the shop by late May early June. While Spain’s olive crop was severely impacted due to extreme weather conditions in 2023, this year, our extra virgin olive oils come from California, Italy, Portugal, Australia, Chile, Greece and Peru, all known for their quality olives. Each pair beautifully with our selection of dark and light balsamic vinegars from Modena, Italy. And if you are looking for a delicious way to welcome spring, check out these gourmet favorites that celebrate the season.

Lavender Balsamic

Best pruned in the springtime, per The Spruce, lavender is a blooming perennial that is beloved for its lovely scent and touch of purple. Long used in culinary applications, fresh and dried lavender can be added “to both sweet and savory dishes for both flavor and its gorgeous color,” according to Food Network (for inspiration and recipes, click here). Ideal for spring, Lavender Balsamic from The Tubby Olive captures the essence of this ancient flower for you to enjoy in the kitchen. Floral, sweet, and slightly herbaceous, this vinegar pairs well with another springtime favorite, our Herbs de Provence Olive Oil.

Herbs de Provence Olive Oil

Herbs de Provence is an all-purpose seasoning that originated in the Provence region of France. It was made popular in America by Julia Child and her famous cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, according to Masterclass. Commonly used in French cuisine, this flavorful blend of aromatic herbs and spices also pairs well with Mediterranean dishes and is made even more versatile when infused in our Herbs de Provence Olive Oil. With top notes of savory thyme and bay leaf, this flavored olive oil is a show stopper when drizzled over grilled chicken or whisked with Peach White Balsamic for a springtime salad.

Peach White Balsamic

Peach season begins in the spring and lasts through the late summer months in the United States. Extremely adaptable, our Peach White Balsamic can be used with any of our extra virgin olive oils and flavored oils to make a light, tart vinaigrette or marinade for pork and poultry. You could also drizzle it atop grilled nectarines and vanilla gelato, or mix it in a refreshing Peach Bellini to enjoy on the porch on a balmy spring evening. This crisp white vinegar has a touch of sweetness, reminiscent of handcrafted vinegars from northern Italy.

Other spectacular springtime suggestions include our Elderflower White Balsamic, Wild Fernleaf Dill Olive Oil, Cascadian Wild Raspberry White Balsamic, Serrano Honey Vinegar, and Honey Ginger White Balsamic.

Asparagus, 2 bunches
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
1 T olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Flour (for the work surface)

Remove from oven and spread cheese evenly inside the crust border. Line half the asparagus down the length of the tart, alternating lengths and tips, single layer. Sprinkle with 1 T olive oil and add salt and pepper. Bake again for another 20 minutes. Remove from oven, drizzle with Mushroom & Sage Olive Oil or Black Truffle Oil englishcollege.com.

The Mediterranean diet includes nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits, whole grains, seafood, and of course, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Some studies show that consuming about two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease because of the monounsaturated fat in olive oil.
How do you get more olive oil into your diet? Use olive oil instead of butter and other fats in your cooking. Also, add some to your salads and vegetables. Our infused olive oils make it easy to add not only great nutrition to your foods, but superb flavor! Just try the Tubby Olive’s Garlic Olive Oil, Mushroom & Sage, Persian Lime and many more flavorful options. Add some of our balsamic vinegars, and you have a delicious, nutritious vinaigrette option.
