The Show Starts Tomorrow - September 7 at 10am!

In preparation for our Grand Opening on Tuesday September 7th, The Tubby Olive opened the store doors to a few family members and friends.  We're happy to say that everything went smoothly; everyone was excited to taste the olive oils and balsamics while pondering the endless possible combinations.  Even people who, by their own admission, are not particularly creative in the kitchen, were getting excited about making a delicious salad dressing or easy marinade to produce a gourmet meal!  After tasting some food made with our products, items went flying off the shelf!

In particular, everyone loved the Popcorn that we drizzled with our Butter Olive Oil and then sprinkled with our Fabulous Chateau Provence Sea Salt.  The fresh string beans roasted with Tuscan Herb Olive Oil were a huge hit as well.   One guest came up with a great dessert idea: Dark Chocolate Balsamic mixed with Coconut White Balsamic over chocolate almond ice cream, and the piece de resistance - a square of Poco de Dolce Sea Salt Toffee! In addition to our extensive selection of food products, there are the cookbooks.  One friend who is a professional chef spent quite some time perusing our books with all kinds of recipes and mouthwatering photos. 

As you can hopefully imagine, there is truly something for everyone at The Tubby Olive!  But don't just imagine - come in and taste it for yourself!  We hope to see many of you in the coming days.  Remember, the 'curtain will rise'  on Tuesday, September 7 at 10a.m.  See you tomorrow!
