Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Fraud
...between meat that's tough & doesn't taste good and seafood farmed in polluted water that's fed god knows what, I prefer to keep what I buy at Grocery Stores to a MINIMUM! Look none of us can live without them but you just can't hand your life over to the grocery chains either! Greed is their prime directive ...they're going to sell you the cheapest thing they can buy and they don't care how it was produced! |

Tell a friend about this story and extend to them an invitation to
sample Estate Bottled Extra Virgin Olive Oil as well as Vinegars and Saba
from Italy, Spain, Portugal and France in our shop any day of the week!
PRODUCERS
"UC-Davis has just published an extensive report on the fraudulent labeling of extra-virgin olive oil. Imported olive oil has been known to often have fraudulent or misleading labels, now certain US brands have been found to be mislabeling their olive oil as well."
"More than two-thirds of common brands of extra-virgin olive oil found in California grocery stores aren't what they claim to be, according to a report by researchers at UC Davis, " said the Los Angeles Times in the story linked to below."
Found to have be fraudulently labeled as Extra-Virgin:
Whole Foods
Rachel Ray
Safeway
Newman's Own
Colavita
Bertolli
Filippo Berio
Pompeian
Star
Carapelli
Mezzetta
Mazzola

The Recipes all worked great, I have had good reports from everyone!
Everything sold so fast I ended up eating the scraps from butchering the Ono and I did them 2 ways. #1 I rolled the first piece in Scarpetta Olive Oil (very robust from Italy) and topped it with the Pistachio Sauce we make....very, very nice! Then with #2 I broke open a bottle of the Nellie and Joe's Mojo Crillo and marinated the 2nd piece for around 15 minutes ....30 minutes would have been even better. I topped #2 with Butch's Black Bean, Avocado and Corn Salsa that we also make in the store ...it was to die for! Both were on the grill (450-500 degrees) about 2 minutes a side.
If you want to try some of our sides next weekend like Texas Caviar pictured above give us a heads up along with your orders so we can make all of you happy! We use use excellent vinegars and oils so half the fun is mopping up the oil from the marinated goat cheese with one of our baguettes!

Do you know someone who requires
the services of an in home nurse?
We highly recommend speaking with one of our favorite former employees Paul Breaux who now runs an in home nursing service! Assisting Uranium Workers with job related illnesses is just part of what they do at Honor Bound. Paul and his crew offer a full menu of nursing services.
What we loved about working with Paul while he was in school was that we never had to tell him what to do! He would just show up on time, pick up the to do list and work hard from the begriming of the shift to the end! He is a gentle giant and was very good at dealing with the customers as well as the rest of the staff! If Eleni or I needed in home care we couldn't think of a better person to trust with the task!
If you need care at home or know someone who does, Paul has the skills and the sensitivity to help! He can be contacted at 970-243-0056.
