Spicy Olive’s Coconut Lime Shrimp on Living Dayton!

http://wdtn.com/2018/02/26/the-spicy-olive-9/

Melanie Cedargren was on Living Dayton Monday, Feb. 26, 2018 creating a great dinner idea for this Lenten season. It’s hard to come up with meatless meal options that are not only quick and delicious but also sure to please the whole family and this one hits all those marks!

Succulent shrimp sauteed in The Spicy Olive’s Persian Lime olive oil and then finished with a reduction of the Spicy Olive’s Coconut white balsamic. Melanie served the shrimp over a bed of Lime Rice and fresh basil to give the dish more of a Thai twist!

Italian Wine Tasting at The Spicy Olive

In honor of the arrival of our fresh Northern Hemisphere olive oils, including a delicious Nocellara from Italy, we are featuring wines from Italy for our weekly tastings on Feb. 15 & 22 and 16 & 23 from 4-7pm and Saturday Feb 18 & 24 from 3-6 pm.

Our fresh Nocellara olive oil is a coveted varietal from Sicily! This robust olive oil is pungent and spicy with fleeting bitterness. It also has notes of creamy green almond and artichoke, perfect for those who like their olive oil with a little bite and fruitiness in one!

Four wines from Giorgio Rivetti’s Indigenous Selections were chosen to complement our Olive Oil new arrivals. Bianca Vigna Prosecco from Conegliano Valdobbiadene in the Veneto region offers balanced citrus and bread aromas. Primitivo from Selento at the tip of the “heel of the boot” in Puglia shows a friendly, jammy & juicy palate of black fruit. Back up north, Barbera from Piemonte has up front red & black fruit, mild tannins, and a warm, spicy finish. Last, but certainly not least, is Nero di Troia from Puglia with an intense nose of herbs and orange peel and a warm palate of raspberry, dark dried fruits, and coffee.

Join us the weekends of Feb 15-17 and Feb 22-24 for a delicious taste of Italy!

 

Valentine Themed Wine Tasting at The Spicy Olive

We have selected Valentine, Love and Heart themed wines for you to taste this weekend, Feb 8 and 9 from 7-9pm and Feb. 10 from 3-6pm. Contratto Extra Brut (not pictured) is a full-bodied Italian sparkler with an explosive nose of yeast and citrus with alight, clean finish. Il Cuore Chardonnay offers fresh orange and orange blossom aromas with a palate of tropical fruit. Delicious and rich, Il Cuore Cabernet Sauvignon has loads of chocolate, coffee, and black berries. Criss Cross Zinfandel is jammy mix of red and black fruit balanced by a spicy attack. Reckless Love Red Blend is like walking through an aisle of a Farmers’ Market with its dark cherry,ripe cranberry, and medium finish that leaves you reaching for another sip.

Don’t forget the simplest, but most delicious, snack for a romantic evening at home watching a romantic comedy: Popcorn made with White Truffle Oil accompanied with a bottle of Champagne.
