I bought my first bottle of olive oil while on vacation in Door County, WI.  I marinated, cooked and even drizzled it right from the bottle to my salad, absolutely loved the flavor!  I was afraid I was going to have have it shipped to my home and end up paying a huge shipping fee.  I was THRILLED to find the Rustic Olive in Duluth's Canal Park!

There are so many healthy preventative benefits to olive oil.  Have you heard of the Mediterranean diet?   That diet has you eating lots of plant-based foods, like fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and nuts.  You use herbs and spices instead of salt to flavor your foods and actually replace butter with healthy fats and that's where olive oil comes into play and that's why having the Rustic Olive in Duluth is so important.

Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids which defines a Mediterranean diet.  You can fry with it, cook with it and use it right out of the bottle, so simple.  It helps to prevent stroke and helps your cardiovascular system. What an easy and inexpensive way to help prevent illness.

I can tell you from experience that all that health benefit talk goes out the door once you taste your meal cooked with olive oil. Then, that's all you concentrate on....the products at the Rustic Olive change frequently, so visit often. Soon you'll have a list of favorites like I do!

Keep checking back because I'll be giving you some fantastic recipes using Olive Oil and telling you about the Rustic Olive's flavored vinegars too!
