February 2026 - Drizzle & Drip
Fun Facts
A glossy finish: Drizzling can make food look shinier and more inviting, giving any dish a polished, “chef-made” look.
Ferrari Brothers — Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Meet your new everyday-elevated olive oil. Ferrari Bros Extra Virgin Olive Oil is hand-harvested in California and delivers a ripe, buttery profile with herby notes, nutty undertones, and a peppery finish. It comes in a 500ml glass bottle—ready to live on your counter for constant “just a little drizzle” moments.
Ways we’re using it this month:
- Over crisp greens and grain bowls
- As a dip with warm grilled bread + flaky salt
- On burrata, roasted vegetables, and pastas
- A final drizzle over soups and stews for instant richness
Fukami — Organic Umesu (Ume Plum Vinegar)
Umesu is the delicious byproduct of making umeboshi (salt-cured ume plums), a tradition enjoyed in Japan for centuries. This tangy, salty, umami-packed liquid is made with only two ingredients: organic Nanko ume plums (grown by the fourth-generation Fukami Family farm in Wakayama Prefecture) and sea salt.
What makes it extra special: it’s a pure extract obtained after a 6-month filtration process with no water added, concentrating the bold flavor and natural components like calcium, magnesium, citric acid, malic acid, polyphenols, and more.
Try it like this:
- Splash into cucumber salads, slaws, and vinaigrettes
- Brighten up rice bowls, avocado toast, or roasted veggies
- Add a tiny dash to sparkling water for a bracing sip (start small!)
Saratoga Olive Oil Company — Dark Chocolate Dark Balsamic Vinegar
Decadent chocolate + aged traditional balsamic = a drizzle that makes desserts feel immediately more luxurious. This Dark Chocolate Dark Balsamic Vinegar is mellow, rich, and wildly versatile—perfect for sweet-and-savory cooks and “dessert people” alike. Their balsamics are aged in wood barrels up to 18 years and are naturally free of sugars, thickeners, and artificial ingredients.
Favorite pairings & ideas:
- Drizzle over berries, bananas, pineapple, or vanilla ice cream
- Elevate cheese boards (try with goat cheese or aged cheddar)
- Stir into chili for deep, surprising complexity
- Play with brunch: stuffed French toast or waffles
- Get fancy: dark chocolate truffles, crostini, or sliders
- Bonus: a bold twist for a signature cocktail moment
