New California Olive Oil Launched By Gourmet Kitchen

December 10, 2015 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

Gourmet Living, a business in Greenwich, CT, is proud to announce that they have launched a new private label extra virgin olive oil from California. California extra virgin olive oil is already becoming a very popular kitchen stable among families wishing to substitue olive oil for butter.  In fact, many fine restaurants serve olive oil for dipping bread rather than butter.  

"Olive oil is at the heart of the Mediterranean diet," says Sheila May, the owner of Gourmet Living. "And we are indeed fortunate to have discovered this wonderful EVOO from California."

This exceptional olive oil is extracted from the Picual olive variety which has been harvested under carefully controlled conditions. This olive oil is designed to complement Gourmet Living's barrel-adge balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy. This Italian consortium certified balsamic vinegar was launched earlier this year by Gourmet Living under its own label.

One of the things that makes this olive oil so unique is that it comes from olives grown in California. This gives it a very special flavor that is found nowhere else in the world. Also, it enables Gourmet Living to have greater say over its production and the marketing of this superior olive oil.

"Well over 90% of the production of olive oil comes from Spain, Italy and Greece," explains Sheila. "We are thrilled that small producers in California are now making such wonderful olive oil.  Consumers now have a high quality alternative to European olive oils."

Gourmet Living promotes the lifestyle benefits of the Mediterranean diet. This diet is known to be among the healthiest in the world and much of that is attributed to the regular use of olive oil in the preparation of food. Other significant elements in this diet include unrefined carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, and salads. Olive oil is generally used both for cooking and as a flavor enhancer, which can now be achieved with the Picual olive oil from Gourmet Living.

The Mediterranean diet is said to provide a range of health benefits, including lower incidences of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. Scientists believe that olive oil may play an important role in the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet. Gourmet Living is happy to market products that have important nutrionional benefits and also support local farms and growers who mill oil from Californian olives.  Gourmet Living's Picual extra virgin olive is 100% organic and may be purchased on Amazon.
