Summer Entertaining Idea for Social Distancing

During this time of social distancing it is good to keep guests from clustering in one area of a room.

Harry’s Individual Size Cheese Boards may be dispersed among guests where they are seated rather than having guests graze from one large one.

Olive Oils from Spain

The Casas de Hualdo Oil Mill is located in El Carpio de Tajo of Toledo within a natural enclave on the banks of the Tagus River. We are proud to offer these award-winning olive oils from Spain.

Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes exclusively from arbequina olives harvested before they ripen. A harmonious, balanced and smooth oil with little bitterness and spiciness. Its flavours are fruity with freshly cut grass, tomato and green apple.

Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil of the Picual variety stands out as intense with great complexity. These olives collected at just the right stage of ripeness contain  aromas of eucalyptus, green banana, basil and green grass. We may also appreciate its subtle notes of mint and liquorice.

Taco Suggests…

Chef’n Strawberry Slicer and Hullers

The Strawberry Slicester slices whole strawberries into perfect, consistent pieces with a quick squeeze of its handle. The Huller allows you to easily remove those pesky stems. Just place claw inside, twist and remove stem. Easy peezy! The strawberry remains intact.
