Win Big with O Olive Oil During November!

Especially for the readers of A Veggie Venture, the good folks at O Olive Oil are offering three great ways to experience hand-crafted citrus-crushed olive oils and premium barrel-aged wine vinegars.

Special offers from O Olive Oil, especially for readers of A Veggie VentureThese are truly gorgeous olive oils and vinegars. During taste tests last summer, my nephew -- a teenager! -- declared, "We could drink this!"

He was right -- and food professionals and others agree -- which makes me extra-pleased to offer three great ways for readers to experience such immensely satisfying olive oils and wine vinegars.

Why am I doing this? It's my small way during the season of Thanksgiving (don't miss this year's Thanksgiving vegetable recipes!) to thank readers, for trusting in me, for encouraging me, for sending favorite recipes, for inviting me into their kitchens. Plus, it's no secret that I believe that learning how to make homemade salad dressing is a healthful and frugal habit for families and individuals both. If good olive oils and good vinegars are the inspiration, lovely!

  1. The Cassis and Blood Orange combo really appeals to me. I looked through all the combinations, and while they all sound wonderful, I keep coming back to the Blood Orange. Maybe it's because Blood Oranges make me think of Italy. My email address is franw66 AT aol (dot) com.

    ReplyDelete
  2. O Clementine Olive Oil and O White Balsamic Vinegar would be delicious in a variation of your bok choy salad! My email is hanniluvsu (at) gmail (dot) com

    ReplyDelete
  3. I think I'd be a fan of the meyer and pinot combo. I adore lemon-flavored oils -- they brighten up everything. I would probably use the oil on a chicken that I roasted with halved lemons in the cavity, and then would combine the vinegar and oil to make a dressing for some nice greens -- maybe arugula? genie AT theinadvertentgardener (dot) com

    ReplyDelete
  4. Wow, the Tahitian Lime Olive Oil and Pomegranate Vinegar combination sounds absolutely amazing... I was thinking it'd be a great salad dressing for a salad I made recently: mixed mizuna, romaine, and beet greens with avocado, chickpeas, toasted walnuts, and pomegranate seeds.

    My email address is alythea at gmail.com. Thanks!

  5. The O Meyer and O Pinot looks great. I think it'd be great in salads and sauces, or anytime I'm looking for something extra special in an oil or vinegar. My email address is Ryan (dot) Becker AT gmail (dot) com.

  6. Champagne and Meyer would be my choice. I would put it on top of a simple salad of romaine lettuce, red onion rings, homemade croutons, egg and fresh Parmesan wafers. My email address is mindyloo1 at hotmail (dot) com.

  7. Which one do I like? OMG - all of them! I guess I would like to try the Clementine and balsamic white vinegar first. But they all look sooo good!

  8. Choose a favorite? This is a tough assignment! I was originally going to go with the Cassis and Blood Orange, but I find the the Clementine and While Balsamic makes my inner chef jump for joy. And thanks for all the great recipes!

  24. Wow, great contest!

    The Meyer & Pinot sounds best to me - two very classical flavors that I could easily combine with a myriad of other flavors, separately or together.

    One thing I would definitely do with them is an orange salad - oranges, red onions, salt and lots of black pepper, and these two of course.

  72. I was raised in a meat,potatoes, and casserole kind of family, so I've only lately began experimenting with vinegar & olive oil.

    Maybe I'll win the grand prize and get to try them all.

  108. MMM... Meyer Lemon and Pinot Noir sounds lovely!

    I'd make a nice late fall California salad, with arugula and sliced persimmon, fresh walnuts, and creamy blue cheese. Maybe saute a little chicken and shred it, then toss it all with a lovely dressing (meyer lemon olive oil, pinot noir vinegar, some minced garlic or shallots, a little diced persimmon, maybe a little honey). Serve it all with a big hunk of crusty bread to soak up what's left in the bowl when the salad is gone.

  111. (sing it with me now)

    O . . . . mercy mercy me

    reading that list of flavors makes me drool!

    But the clementine and white balsamic vinegar would top my list.

    Our CSA has been doing a fall share of just gorgeous tender salad mix. I've been topping it with goat cheese or blue cheese crumbles, glazed walnuts, and the tail end of the Ya Ya dried Michigan cherries.

    Yum!

  113. I was commenting on an older post about beets (your index of vegetable recipes is great, Alanna! I don't know if we thank you enough for putting it together...) and saw the notice about the contest. Am I really eligible, even though I live in Canada? Just in case I am:

    For me, it would be a toss up between either one with the meyer lemon olive oil:

    O Meyer Lemon Olive Oil and O Pinot Noir Vinegar

    O Champagne Vinegar and O Meyer Lemon Olive Oil

    We were given a bottle of meyer lemon olive oil this summer and I have drizzling just a little just before serving on top of pasta. The first time it was with broccoli, onions, brown mustard seeds, chili flakes and grilled chicken. The other night the pasta was tossed with sauteed beets, onions, chili flakes, fennel seed, dill weed, cider vinegar and goat cheese.

    It's wonderful to get the taste of lemon every so often! It really does hold up!

    I would think that either the pinot noir vinegar OR the champagne vinegar would work easily as well (if not better) than cider vinegar in beets.

  116. Hi, Alanna, I enjoy all the recipes.

    My choice would be O Clementine Olive Oil and O White Balsamic Vinegar.

    I make a Greens Potato Salad that is very heavy on the greens and light on the potatoes. After peeling the potatoes I'd splash them with the vinegar while they were still warm and let them soak up the essence, then dress the greens with the oil and vinegar then mix in the taters, taste and adjust.

    Happy veggies.

  117. The champ and meyer has my eye today. Actually I've been eyeing this oil in Whole Foods for some time so I may use the lovely coupon to buy the Blood Orange for my mother for Christmas. Such lovely bottles also! Thanks for all your recipes. There are some I make over and over and over.

  143. I'm somewhat new to this whole online world of food. I'm still trying to put my mind around blogging and what a foodie is. I guess I could describe myself as a foodette. Anyway, I find that I'm always surprised at how different olive oils and balsamic vinegars are from one another. The lemon flavored oil that Genie mentioned sounds like I should try it. It’s been a lot of fun taste testing. My favorite way to enjoy is nothing fancy I just like dipping good bread in both of them. deb, my e-mail is drlord@sbcglobal (dot) net.

  151. I would love to try the Lime and Pomegranate. I would love to just dot the croutons with both and then, as you serve a romaine salad with strawberries, blueberries, pine nuts and with some crumbled blue cheese, splash a bit more onto the salad itself. Then top with the 'dotted' croutons. Add a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. Mmmmmmm.

  164. I have been using O Olive Oils and Vinegars for a few years now. There are so many possibilities in combination with vinegars and oils. Each and every salad, recipe is decadent. My favourite are baby lettuces, sliced Asian pears, crumbled blue cheese and toasted walnuts drizzled with Clementine Oil and White Balsamic Vinegar. I live in Canada and order from their website regularly. Matter of fact, I'm giving various combinations of oils and vinegars as Christmas gifts this year. What better way to explore gourmet oils and vinegars. oavramenko@sympatico.ca

  165. We recently made a wonderful salad with red leaf lettuce, thinly sliced oven dried pears, toasted pine nuts, shaved parmesan and a very very simple warm vinaigrette (olive oil, bacon, red wine vinegar, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper) Even though it was absolutely delicious with the red wine vinegar, I'm thinking champagne vinegar would have worked very well with the pears.

    So for this round, I'm going to choose

    O Champagne Vinegar and O Meyer Lemon Olive Oil
