Capizzano Olive Oils & Vinegars at The Dante Society event

Stephen and I enjoyed being a part of the annual Dante Society event at the Calabrese Club in Westerly, Rhode Island with more than 200 guests attending. Presentation was about the “Truth about Extra Virgin Olive Oil” and why all olive oils are NOT created equal. Learn more about Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive at our store with tastings, pairings, recipes and education. The poem “Crushing Green Fruit” was read, see the poem on our website, written by Michael Bradley.

October Breast Cancer Awareness Month

We are happy to announce that we will be donating $1.00 for each bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Aged Balsamic Vinegar (200ml, 375ml, and 750ml size) purchased during the month of October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Join our effort to help find a cure!

A new study finds that following a Mediterranean diet, especially one that is heavy with ‘fresh/seasonal high quality extra virgin olive oil (with defined polyphenol & oleic acid levels)’, may reduce the risk of breast cancer. See article in link provided:  http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-mediterranean-diet-olive-oil-breast-cancer-risk-20150914-story.html

We will be doing our part to increase awareness through the benefits of using Ultra-Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils in our daily diet with a Mediterranean Lifestyle in upcoming events.

In Appreciation

EIGHT SIMPLE STEPS FOR EATING THE MEDITERRANEAN WAY

2SoupSandwich_0.gif

1. Eat lots of vegetables. From a simple plate of sliced fresh tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and crumbled feta cheese to stunning salads, garlicky greens, fragrant soups and stews, healthy pizzas, or oven-roasted medleys, vegetables are vitally important to the fresh tastes and delicious flavors of the Med Diet.

2. Change the way you think about meat. If you eat meat, have smaller amounts – small strips of sirloin in a vegetable sauté, or a dish of pasta garnished with diced prosciutto.

3. Enjoy some dairy products. Eat Greek or plain yogurt, and try smaller amounts of a variety of cheeses.

4. Eat seafood twice a week. Fish such as tuna, herring, salmon, and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and shellfish including mussels, oysters, and clams have similar benefits for brain and heart health.

5. Cook a vegetarian meal one night a week. Build meals around beans, whole grains, and vegetables, and heighten the flavor with fragrant herbs and spices. Down the road, try two nights per week.

6. Use good fats. Include sources of healthy fats in daily meals, especially extra-virgin olive oil, nuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds, olives, and avocadoes.

7. Switch to whole grains. Whole grains are naturally rich in many important nutrients; their fuller, nuttier taste and extra fiber keep you satisfied for hours. Cook traditional Mediterranean grains like bulgur, barley, farro and brown, black or red rice, and favor products made with whole grain flour.

8. For dessert, eat fresh fruit. Choose from a wide range of delicious fresh fruits — from fresh figs and oranges to pomegranates, grapes and apples. Instead of daily ice cream or cookies, save sweets for a special treat or celebration.
