    Enzo’s Table Products – from the San Joaquin Valley and another great California Food product!

     

    The Ricchiuti Family has diligently worked the land in California’s fertile San Joaquin Valley for over 100 years, with a goal to sustainably grow, produce and harvest premium fruit, and nuts.

    In more recent years, they have expanded to include estate-grown award-winning ENZO Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil,  Organic Balsamic Vinegar, as well as ENZO’S TABLE handcrafted biscotti, granola, pesto, jam, and almond butter.

    The family opened a retail store in order to provide farm-to-table products and experiences for their customers.  This store in Clovis California has evolved over the years from a roadside stand to a large regional store known for its local farm fresh produce and specialty items.

    Enzo Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars have won over 200 awards.  Enzo’s Table is one of the best places to find the freshest and most flavorful olive oil.  They are involved in the production from the start – growing it, to the finish – bottling it.  And of course they are all available online.

    Like wine, olive oil is grown in many different regions, and each of those is going to taste a little different.  And just like wine, everyone has their favorites.

    What to look for in Olive Oil

    There are a few qualities to look for in determining which olive oil to purchase.

    First – does the bottle carry certification or seal from a third-party organization?  For example, in California, there is the California Olive Oil Council, and with its seal, it is certified that the oil in the bottle is extra-virgin.

    Second – is the production date on the bottle?  You want to make sure you have a bottle from a fresh batch.

    Third – good olive oil will smell good and fresh.  And taste it – just like wine, everyone has different preferences!

    And remember, flavor-infused oils can add amazing flavor to your cooking.  I know that personally, I love cooking my fresh veggies with garlic-infused olive oil.

    Tasting Guide for Olive Oils – a guide from Enzo’s Table

    The information below is from Enzo’s Table’s website – I thought it would be fun to share this information.

    The California Olive Oil Council’s Tasting Panel uses specially-made blue glasses that are tapered to concentrate the oil’s aroma (a wine glass is a good substitute when tasting at home).

    Cover the glass and allow it to gently warm in your hand; the optimal tasting temperature is 82°. It is important to evaluate the oil in an odor-free environment using the “4 S’s” method to taste oil:

    Swirl – swirl the oil in the glass which releases the olive oil’s aroma. Keep the olive oil covered until ready to sniff.

    Sniff – uncover the olive oil and quickly inhale from the rim of the glass. Take note of the intensity and the description of the aroma.

    Slurp – take a small sip of the oil while also “sipping” some air. This slurping action emulsifies the olive oil and helps to spread it throughout your mouth. Take note of the retro-nasal aroma as well as the intensity of bitterness.

    Swallow – an olive oil’s pungency is judged by a sensation in your throat so you must swallow at least a small amount to thoroughly evaluate it. If the oil makes your throat scratchy or makes you want to cough, it is a pungent oil.

    If tasting a series of oils, be prepared to clean your palate between tastes with a bite of green apple (preferably Granny Smith) followed by either still or sparkling water.
