O & CO


 While on my vacation to Paris, I walked into O & CO and was so taken over by the selection of olive oils and balsamic vinegars, right then I wanted to commit to eating salads. When I started to put things in my basket to carry it back home, I heard a woman ask "Do you have branches in Canada?" I thought, duh! I have been to this store in New York. We quickly looked through their list of stores around the world and found at least three locations in Manhattan.

You can visit the store and sample the olive oils and vinegar. I absolutely relished the Olive Oil with Lemon, Olive Oil with Pepper and Olive Oil with Mint. I also loved the Mango Fruity Vinegar and although their Fig Vinegar is a bit strong, it tasted yum. Needless to say, I am having salads everyday. Simple salads with mixed greens, lettuce, peppers and cherry tomatoes are so enjoyable and easy to prepare.

The olive oils and vinegars are on the higher end of the price range but they should be, because they are imported from some of the best producers in the Europe. How lucky we are sitting here in America, we get to taste the pure flavors of European foods.
