I had such a fun time olive oil tasting at Olive Hill Farm's tasting room in downtown Los Olivos!…read moreThere were so many different flavors, and when I asked our host for the most popular tasting options, I was surprised to hear they were blood orange and cranberry pear. I tried both, and then also sampled some savory options as that's what I was looking for. My favorite local oil was the savory garlic olive oil and for the imported option, the truffle oil was amazing. I did not like the sundried tomato olive oil and was surprised to read that canola oil and sunflower oil were ingredients. While tasting, my boyfriend and I noticed they offered ice cream topped with oils and vinegar. Intrigued, we ordered the chocolate ice cream with blood orange oil and chocolate balsamic. We hadn't really liked the blood orange oil with bread, but wow was it an amazing combo with ice cream! Overall, a great spot in Los Olivos that does not involve wine drinking and we appreciate that it was dog friendly.

The young lady that helped me was supremely knowledgeable about all things olive oil. She paired each olive oil with a vinegar and served it with a basket of soft, yummy bread. I devoured every single olive oil and while I wanted to buy more than one, I decided to limit myself to my most favorite of all--the jalapeño infused olive oil. I highly recommend this place. They have a great patio to sit outside and enjoy the day. Alas, I forgot to snap a photo because I was so present in my thoroughly pleasant olive oil, tasting experience!

Extra special when you're married to an Italian. They give you these adorable tiny cups, like for dolls, and you get to try ALL of the olive oils and vinegars they have. Seriously, they want you to taste everything! We ended up bringing home this amazing olive oil and a dark chocolate balsamic vinegar that's so good, it's like a dessert in a bottle but I use it for my salads. We could have stayed there forever, just sipping and tasting all day! Make sure you visit this place when in town.

Nothing says "Central Coast" like Susie Q's Brand of seasoning…read more I was born and raised in California, the Central Coast (don't hate me) and I have fond memories of Santa Maria tri tip barbeque in every parking lot in Santa Maria. It is a staple there, believe me. Tri tip is cooked on an open flame, where they are on a grate that you lower up and down on the pit, preferably fired up red oak for a smoky flavor. It's been a tradition since the 19th century and originates from the ranchers hosting feasts from their vaqueros. Susie Q's is a blend of garlic, salt, parsley and pepper, and myself and family of origin brought this delight here to Reno with us when we moved here in the 90's. We refresh our supplies when we visit the Central Coast, and for times in between, we order from the Susie Q's website. In fact, I loaded up just recently and love to give it out as Christmas gifts. You can use this seasoning for anything, meats, vegetables.. mixed it in olive oil and you have a nice dip for your French bread. Susie Q's also sales pinquito beans, which are native to the Central Coast of California. It is a small round bean and is always a compliment to Santa Maria BBQ with a side salad, salsa and bread.
