As a cardiologist and nutritionist, I’m a big fan of both olive oil and garlic because each brings unique benefits to the table. This California garlic flavored olive oil is made the same way as extra virgin olive oil, except that fresh garlic is added to the olives during the first cold press (a labor-intensive process known as the “crushed” or “fused” method). The result is a luxuriously smooth olive oil with the perfect amount of robust garlic flavor. The olives and garlic used to make this authentically flavored olive oil were grown without synthetic pesticides, and the oil contains no other ingredients - no preservatives or additives. I love that it gives gusto to any food without the bother of peeling or chopping garlic.

Wonderful drizzled over steaks, chicken and veggies, this garlic olive oil is also a quick and easy way to turn nearly-naked pasta into a delicious dish. It makes a delectable salad dressing when blended with balsamic vinegar, and is pure garlic lovers’ delight when used as a dipping oil with my Vervana olive oil dipping spice blend  - Mangiare!

Distinguished and refreshing with notes of pine, this California cold-pressed rosemary olive oil is a cut above your ordinary herb-infused oil. It is made by actually crushing fresh rosemary sprigs with fresh olives during the first cold press, a labor-intensive flavoring process known as the “crushed” or “fused” method. Both the olives and rosemary are grown using organic farming practices, without synthetic pesticides, and you certainly won’t find any preservatives, additives or artificial flavors in this rosemary olive oil.

As a cardiologist and nutritionist, I love both olive oil and rosemary for the health benefits they each offer, so this delectable pairing is one of my personal favorites. This rosemary olive oil heightens the experience of any food it’s paired with. I like it drizzled over grass-fed steak, wild caught fish, free-range chicken, humanely-raised pork, rice, salads, vegetables, soups and pastas.

Aromatic, smooth and luscious with a delightful woodsy essence, this refreshing herbed olive oil is made by actually cold pressing fresh oregano sprigs with fresh olives. The result is pure olive oil nutrition with a warm burst of herbaceous flavor. I love this oil drizzled over fish, chicken and steak, as well organic pasta with marinara sauce. It also pairs wonderfully with my olive oil dipping spices - as both a veggie and bread dipping oil!

While this “fused” method of crushing the olives with the oregano is more labor-intensive, I prefer it to ordinary olive oil flavor infusion processes because you really get an instant fusion of powerful fresh flavor. As a cardiologist and nutritionist, I value the health benefits that both olive oil and oregano bring to the table - and, as an Italian, I can’t get enough of the flavors - Mangiare!
