What olive oil to choose for a gift

Like wine, olive oil has many varieties, both in taste and price. It is important to understand that you can choose the taste for anyone who likes the best, but the price should not be neglected. As a gift, you need to give only Extra Virgin oil, since only it has the taste and aroma inherent in olive oil and benefits in itself. Cheap refined olive oil will be like sunflower oil, and hardly anyone will like such a gift.

If you don’t know which country’s oil to choose, do not worry. The statement that Italian or Spanish oil is better than others is just a stereotype, so choose whichever you like best in taste or appearance. Beautiful packaging certainly will not improve the quality of the oil, but for a gift, the look is very important. So, if you like the packaging of Tunisian oil more than Spanish, then feel free to take Tunisian.

Let's start with a simple one: donate not one, but 2 or 3 bottles of different types of oil. Bottles in a wooden box with hay or something similar look very nice.

You can add a bottle of wine to the oil. But here it is better that the country producing wine and oil is the same.
In general, bottle mixes will look winning. For example, you can collect a mix of oil, wine and balsamic vinegar.

Another great mix is \u200b\u200bGreek Salad. Add feta cheese and canned olives to the butter. Pack in a beautiful gift box and you're done.

A cookbook with a bottle of olive oil tied to it on a beautiful bright bow will look great.

The main thing is that the recipes in the book contain olive oil as an ingredient and be somehow connected with any of the Mediterranean cuisines.

And best of all, improvise, based on the preferences of the person to whom you are going to give a gift!

Today, gift baskets are dishonestly expensive, but in reality they are nothing that you could not do yourself. Just a beautiful design and a well-chosen mix of products make a beautiful image, and it seems to you that you can’t do this. Nonsense.

Just collect an interesting mix, buy a beautiful box, a little decorative filler, or a beautiful towel, decorative flowers. Beautifully place the products, tie on a beautiful bow and sign! Voila! Cool exclusive gift is ready!

When to give olive oil

There can be many reasons for such a gift.

Moreover, in the new year it is profitable to give olive oil, since in September the harvest of olives begins and by the new year you can find the freshest oil!

Also, such a gift is suitable for a birthday, but in case it is not an anniversary and not a big feast! Just as a sign of attention!

Together with the cookbook, olive oil will be a good housewarming gift, especially if the hostess likes to cook!

The above are just tips, so you can give olive oil to anyone, anytime, even just like that. Moreover, such a tasty and healthy gift will always be welcome!
