Tropical Spring Flavor Pairing
One of the best parts about spring and summer is the fresh produce that becomes available.

Now is the perfect time to expand your olive oils and balsamic vinegars and embrace bold new flavors that even the harshest food critic will enjoy.
Our Fresh Pressed Blood Orange Extra Virgin Olive Oil incorporates fresh blood oranges and ripe Tunisian olives, creating a bold and juicy flavor ideal when incorporated with salads, fruit, seafood, fish, chicken, pork, and chocolate or used as a marinade.
Our Mango Breeze White Balsamic Vinegar combines creamy and soft mango flavors with crisp white balsamic vinegar, producing a balanced flavor profile that pairs well with shrimp, scallops, chicken, pork, fruit, and salsas.
When paired in a 1:1/2 ratio, the bold Blood Orange Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the mellow Mango Breeze White Balsamic Vinegar create a fresh and striking mix, bringing classic warm weather flavors into your dish. This pairing works excellently as a meat or seafood marinade for the grill, oven, or stove top, can be used as a quick and easy spring salad dressing, or added as a finishing touch for a meal or appetizer.
