Did everyone survive Black Friday? Hopefully you avoided the stress of the mall and came to Andersonville. But if not there are still plenty of shopping days left before the holidays are here, and plenty of gift suggestions in the Andersonville Holiday Gift Guide.
Thanksgiving was only two days ago, and today Our Favorite Things turns our attention to a purveyor of all things yummy, City Olive. Karen and her staff can help you find the perfect gift from their selection of gourmet vinegars, mustards, jams and jellies, salts and spices and other specialty foods and accessories. And of course olive oils, like today’s favorite thing!
Rainise Lemon Olive Oil ($26.99) is not just pretty on the outside; it has a bright, superb flavor. Made with Taggiasca olives from western Liguria that are crushed and infused with lemon, it is perfect for salads, fish, shellfish, fruit and vegetables. And a perfect gift for that foodie on your list. Who knows, maybe you will even get a dinner out of it!
Other items featured from City Olive are City Olive Balsamic Vinegar and a Michael Aram Olive Branch Bowl.
