Did you know we gather once a month for a potluck-style dinner with fellow food lovers? 🫒

Our monthly **EVOO & YOU Recipe Club** is one of our favorite nights of the month! Everyone brings a dish featuring olive oil or balsamic vinegar (bonus points if it’s the star of the recipe!), and we spend the evening sharing great food, swapping recipes, and discovering new ways to cook with our favorite flavors.

Whether you’re a confident home cook or just looking for fresh inspiration, you’ll leave with new ideas, new recipes, and maybe even a few new friends.

🎟️ Tickets are available on our website.
🍽️ Bring one dish to share made with olive oil or balsamic vinegar.
💚 Come hungry and ready to be inspired!

We can’t wait to see what everyone creates this month!

Have you been in store tasting our Olive Oils and wondered what all those words and numbers mean at the bottom of the Single Varietal Olive Oil fusti tags? Each number indicates a natural compound found in olive oil that attribute to different health benefits.

Today, we’re explaining the compound “Biophenols”.

Phenols are antioxidant like substances that are naturally occurring in Extra Virgin Olive Oils. Phenols extend the shelf-life of extra virgin olive oil & also determine the “style” in terms of bitterness and pungency. Generally, when an oil has a high phenol count (presented in parts per million), it will have more “pepper” or more “bitterness”. Many consider phenols to be free-radical “scavengers”.

There are typically more than 20 different biophenols in extra virgin olive oil. The prevalent classes of hydrophilic phenols found in EVOO are phenolic alcohols and acids (i.e. Hydroxytyrosol and vanillic acid), flavonoids (i.e. luteonin), lignans (i.e. pinoresinol) and secoiridoids.

Studies show a dose-dependent & significant effect of olive oil Phenol consumption (for 3 weeks) on appropriate markers of LDL peroxidation
(European Food Safety Authority) “Consumption of olive oil phenols contributes to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative damage.”

Meet the condiment that does everything: sweet, tangy, spicy, and stunning in the bottle.

Drizzle over baked Brie, shake into marinades, splash into dressings, or pair with your favorite Graze oils. Our favorite way is to make a vinaigrette with Hot Honey Balsamic Vinegar and our Lemon EVOO and drizzle over a fresh peach salad!

Stop by Graze Acadiana to sample and pick up your bottle of Hot Honey Balsamic Vinegar — your kitchen will thank you.

Right now, our graze spreads are featuring one of our favorite seasonal cheeses: Cranberry Wensleydale. It’s creamy, slightly crumbly, and studded with sweet-tart cranberries that pair beautifully with crackers, cured meats, fresh fruit, and yes... even a drizzle of balsamic.

It’s one of those cheeses that always gets people asking, “What is THIS one?” ❤️

Every graze spread is handcrafted with specialty cheeses that change throughout the year, so each season brings something new to discover. If you’ve been thinking about treating yourself (or bringing something beautiful to your next gathering), now’s a delicious time to do it.

Come taste why Cranberry Wensleydale is one of our summer favorites. 🫐🧀🍇

A sweet friend shared this recipe with us a while back, and every summer I find myself thinking about it again. It’s simple, refreshing, and proof that our Strawberry Balsamic isn’t just for salads.

Recipe:
🍹 Tequila
🍯 Honey simple syrup
🍋 Juice of ½ lime
🍓 Splash of Graze Strawberry Balsamic
✨ Splash of Sprite

That’s it! The strawberry balsamic adds just the right amount of sweetness and bright flavor without overpowering the drink.

If you’ve been looking for a fun summer cocktail (or mocktail—just skip the tequila!), come grab a bottle of our Strawberry Balsamic and give this one a try. I have a feeling it’ll become one of your summer favorites too. ❤️🍓
