Our own private perfectly calibrated blend of ascolana olives -- grown, harvested and pressed in northern California -- merge and mingle to craft this beautifully balanced olive oil, nutty and creamy, threaded with a Campari-like bitterness that succumbs to a startling black pepper finish. Scents of freshly mown grass and yeasty raw dough waft over flavors of buttered toast, deep hazelnut, stringbeans, and sweet almonds. This distinctive domestic olive oil is exquisite enough to inspire California dreaming.

Use this distinctive domestic olive oil for vinaigrettes, in marinades for meat, poultry and fish, or as a ready-made sauce for steaks, seafood, vegetables, bread, and pasta.

Fairway Marketplace is brought to you by Fairway Market, a specialty food chain that started back in 1933 with a small fruit and vegetable stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Today, Fairway Market is legendary for its experts and expertise in all things food, and a relentless obsession with quality throughout all of the different departments in its stores. In December of 2011, Fairway launched this online shop, so that we could bring the best of the best of what Fairway offers, at the same great values, to those who don’t live near one of our stores. Why keep all of this foodie goodness to ourselves? That simply would not be fair.
