December 2025 - Drizzle & Drip

December 2025 - Drizzle & Drip

Some flavors are meant to be poured, splashed, and swirled right at the table. December’s Drizzle & Drip Box is all about those finishing touches that turn “pretty good” into wow, what did you put on this? From truffled richness to bright, tangy botanicals and fresh, green olive oil, this box is made for bread-dipping, salad-drizzling, and soup-finishing season.

Fun Fact: 5,000 Olives in a Single Bottle

  • It can take up to 5,000 olives to produce a single bottle of certain “drizzle” olive oils.
  • That’s roughly the volume of a big 5-gallon bucket packed with olives, all pressed down into one precious bottle.
  • So when you drizzle a little over your salad or warm bread, you’re tasting the concentrated work of thousands of olives.

Noble Handcrafted – White Truffle Olive Oil

Noble’s line of truffle preserves is crafted in the mountains of Northern Italy by a fifth-generation truffle family committed to harvesting only the most fragrant truffles in the world. This White Truffle Olive Oil is one of the easiest ways to take a dish from everyday to restaurant-level. 

  • Flavor & Aroma: Deep, garlicky white truffle notes carried by a smooth, mild golden Italian olive oil. Pungent (in the best way) and incredibly aromatic.
  • How to Use: 
    • Always as a finishing oil, not for cooking—heat can dull the truffle flavor. 
    • Drizzle sparingly over pasta, risotto, mashed potatoes, salads, or simple scrambled eggs.
    • A few drops on warm bread or roasted vegetables instantly makes the dish feel special.

A little goes a long way, so treat this as your “secret-chef” ingredient.

Red Root & Co. – Heirloom Garlic Oxymel | Herb-Infused Vinegar & Honey Tonic

Heirloom Garlic Oxymel brings bright, tangy complexity to your kitchen. Fresh and dried organic lemon, garlic, and spices are slowly extracted in raw organic apple cider vinegar and balanced with a touch of raw Virginia honey.

  • What’s an oxymel? Oxymel (ox·y·mel) comes from Latin, meaning a mixture of acid and honey. It’s an ancient way of pairing food and herbs for both flavor and function.
  • Flavor Profile: Tangy, garlicky, lightly sweet, and packed with botanical depth.
  • How to Use: 
    • Drizzle on green salads or sautéed greens.
    • Splash over roasted potatoes or cooked vegetables. 
    • Stir into soups or stews right before serving for a bright finish. 
    • Use as a quick, zippy shot for a little “pick-me-up.”

It works beautifully as both condiment and ingredient, adding instant character wherever it lands.

Forvm – Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil

FORVM Arbequina is an early-harvest extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from green, unripe Arbequina olives picked in October. At this stage, the olives are incredibly fresh and aromatic—but yield less than 15% oil, making every drop more precious.

To preserve that freshness:

  • Olives are transported quickly from the grove and milled within six hours of harvest.
  • Temperatures are carefully controlled, never rising above 26°C, to protect flavor, aroma, and quality.

The result is a green-gold, dense oil with:

  • A thick, silky texture
  • High fruitiness with a beautiful balance of sweetness, gentle spice, and freshness

Perfect for:

  • Simple salads
  • Fish dishes and grilled vegetables
  • Toast, crostini, or just a plate for bread dipping

Only high-quality olives can make an oil like this, and FORVM’s process keeps it tasting “just pressed” all year long.
