Olive Oil
Wonder Valley Olive Oil elevates any meal through its bright, herbaceous, peppery flavor and delivers a delicious dose of polyphenols, the powerful antioxidant associated with longevity of life. Our 2022 harvest oil is a blend of Arbequina, Favalosa and Tuscan olives hand-picked from the groves in Lake County, CA and pressed within hours of harvest by a master miller.

Meyer Lemon Risotto
by Canyon Coffee
This hearty, lemon-brightened risotto is a welcome meal for cold days. While it’s not traditional, I like to add a bit of quinoa and walnuts to the mix for a bit of a nutritional boost. Pictured here with simply- grilled mushrooms and chives. The mushrooms were tossed with a splash of olive oil and smashed under a cast iron skillet on a hot grill pan until golden.

Smoky Grilled Eggplant with Feta and Mint
by Canyon Coffee
It took me a long time to realize the secret to better grilled eggplant is to reverse things a bit and season it after grilling. Marinating the sponge-like vegetable post-grill means it fully absorbs and locks in flavors, which here is a savory combination of olive oil, sherry vinegar, garlic, and smoked paprika. Finish things off with crumbled feta and torn fresh mint for the ultimate summer side.
