About enFuso Smoked Olive Oil:
enFuso smoke infused olive oil is award winning Extra Virgin Olive Oil from artisan California growers that has been hand smoked in a specially designed low-temperature low-ash environment. The smoky flavor is imparted to the oil without changing its original qualities. The result – an amazing “flavoring oil”. Now with just a few tablespoons, you can now enhance your recipes with the robust and earthy flavor of smoke.

The contents of this amazing gift basket are:
1. Smoke Infused Early Harvest Capay Valley EVOO (Robust Flavor)
This starts with award winning COOC certified Capay Valley EVOO pressed from early harvest Arbequina olives. Early harvest means that the oil is made from olives harvested when they are still green. Less oil is produced from each olive resulting in a greater concentration of heart healthy polyphenals. The flavor is fresh and full bodied, starting with green flavors (grasses & herbs) moving through rich olive and finishing with pepper. For this oil, the smokiness fully integrates with the base flavors producing a blended yet robust result. There are so many flavors hopping around in the mouth: grassy, peppery, olive and smoky! It pairs well with balsamic for dipping and its robust flavor stands up as wonderful finishing oil for any dish, especially those that already are rich in buttery tastes such as shellfish, hearty fish, meats, potatoes, and beans.
2. Smoke Infused Late Harvest California EVOO (Buttery Flavor)
This starts with COOC Certified Central Valley California EVOO from late harvest Arbequina olives. This type of oil has the more classic buttery flavor that many are familiar with and a milder finish. The mildness allows the smoky flavor to stand out as the strongest flavor while the base oil flavors provide a subtle & smooth background. As a result it is great for oil only dipping. Just add a bit of pepper and some parmesan … but make sure you have plenty of bread as it will go fast. It can also be used when you want a more buttery flavor to complement fresh/green flavors such as salads, green veggies, light fish, or veggie casseroles.

4. The Art of Spice ~ Goulash Seasoning
5. Cascina Belvedere Risotto Mix with Porcini Mushrooms
