Cooks Shop Here Extra Virgin Olive Oil Sampler
2008/2009
 The
2008/2009 Cooks Shop Here extra-virgin olive oil sampler
is now available.
Because of the very positive feedback we received to our
inclusion of a balsamic in last year's sampler, this year
we have included a different balsamic, a 50-year-old
sherry vinegar, and Katz & Co.'s Sonoma red wine vinegar
in addition to the core sampler of
12 varieties of olive oil.
The inclusion of these vinegars will make your palate sing
with the sparkle of their
complex flavors.
The extra virgin olive oils included in this year's
sampler show the terroir of world-class
olive oil, and represent diverse picking and blending
techniques. Or, in the case of the monocultivars, the
uniqueness of a single olive variety can be appreciated.
A brilliant gift for those who have "everything", a fun
party starter, or a learning tool for the taste enthusiast
- or all three.

 Wow!
This is a great gift for the tea lover on your holiday
list.
Or heck, just give it to yourself !
The Tea Enthusiasts' Tea Sampler showcases 13 different
