Two Spicy Olive Oils Win Gold Medals!

The Spicy Olive is committed to bringing our customers the freshest, highest quality olive oils available.

We are so pleased that two of our fresh olive oils have been awarded Gold Medals from the 2019 Los Angeles Olive Oil Competition. Our Picual and Hojiblanca from Spain have both been awarded Gold Medals.  Melgarejo is the producer of these superlative olive oils.

Our olive oils have an edge on other oils because of our freshness. When olive oils are fresh, they taste better, but they also provide more anti oxidant and anti-inflammatory action. That is due to the biophenols in olive oil. They are more active when the olive oil is  fresh. Biophenols dissipate over time from exposure to light, heat and oxygen.

Come in and try these two delicious olive oils. At The Spicy Olive, you can taste our oils before purchase. These olive oils will not last long. We will be switching to Southern Hemisphere olive oils later this summer in an effort to always supply the freshest olive oils available.

Melanie Cedargren, owner of The Spicy Olive was on Living Dayton with some flavorful ideas for your NCAA tournament parties. Melanie made Blackberry Ginger Garlic chicken wings by marinating chicken wings in Blackberry Ginger balsamic and Garlic olive oil. For spicier wings, use our Chipolte or Harissa olive oils for a little heat.

Our Texas Caviar is one of The Spicy Olive’s most popular recipes. This veggie salsa is full of black beans, tomatoes, black eyed peas, corn, green onions and cilantro. Dress this salsa with Persian Lime olive oil, Neapolitan Herb balsamic vinegar and Baklouti Green Chili olive oil for a spicy kick. Serve with tortilla chips.

Lastly, Melanie added flavor to popcorn by drizzling with White or Black Truffle oil and a sprinkle of Black Truffle sea salt. Delicious! Other combinations to try on popcorn, Tuscan Herb olive oil with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, Chipolte olive oil with our new Bacon Sea salt or Rosemary olive oil with grated Romano cheese.
