I happen to be at a certain age when all of my friends are getting married. While it is a pleasure to constantly celebrate such an amorous occasion it can also be exhausting trying to find the right gift. A bottle of wine: What do they like? White, Red, Chardonnay or Merlot? Will that salad bowl get used, or is going to sit in the back of a cabinet for eternity (or until the next move)?

Well, you're in luck. Because of my recent gift giving frenzy I have discovered the perfect gift for nearly any occasion (click the link to shop!): OMED extra virgin olive oil. This Spanish finishing oil is not meant for cooking but for topping a dish or eating with bread. It's fruity - peppery flavor and elegant bottle design will not only dress up your food, but your kitchen as well. It is a gift that lasts, but doesn't overstay its welcome.

OMED olives are handpicked to ensure the integrity of the olives. They are cold-pressed and decanted using a centrifuge (rather than heat), preserves their complex flavor. The OMED factory is powered by burning the leftover pits of olives and uses sustainable packaging to protect its olive nectar from UV rays. Don't miss your chance this December to pick up a bottle!
