Happy New Year! May 2010 bear lots of health, peace and prosperity to all.

2009 has been a splendid year and I am proud to announce nothing less than three new additions to the outstanding list of world-class food artisans that have added Olio Taibi in their select list of ingredients:

• Tony Maws Chef/Proprietor of “Cragie on Main” and James Beard Nominee for Best Chef, Northeast
• Kevin Rafferty of Toscanini’s, makers of “The best ice cream in the world” as recognized by The New York Times
• Lourdes Smith of Fiore di Nonno, maker of the most spectacular handmade fresh mozzarella and burratine that anyone can find west of Italy. Now filled with Olio Taibi.

In addition, I am thrilled to announce that on Tuesday, January 5th, 6-8pm I will be atCentral Bottle in Cambridge, MA for a three-way tasting of Olio Taibi. We’ll start with the special Central Bottle blend of Nocellara and Biancolilla Organic Extravirgin Olive Oil, then we will sample the delicious burratine filled with olive oil, and we will finish it all off with the Olive Oil ice cream from Toscanini’s. I cannot imagine a better way to start 2010. Please join us for this one of a kind event.

Special thanks to the magic Maureen, Dave, Liz and Nick of Central Bottle for making all of the above happen. You guys deserve the Sicilian honorary citizenship!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Enjoying good food with loved ones is in my DNA so this is my favorite holiday. This year we are excited to be hosting Thanksgiving at our new home in Lexington, MA.

So, what’s new? Let’s start with the new special Olio Taibi organic extra virgin olive oil holiday promotion on Amazon that will run through December 31.  Several customers have recently told me that a bottle of Biancolilla or Nocellara EVOO makes a great gift.  It’s perfect for any food lover and can be enjoyed for much longer than a bottle of wine. Now you can buy any three bottles and get one free Biancolilla.  Type the code OTBUYTHR at checkout and share a bottle or two of your favorite organic extra virgin olive oil with your favorite foodie (or treat yourself!). Gift wrapping is available and you will be eligible for FREE SHIPPING.  Here’s what the gift wrap looks like.

What else? It’s been a busy few months. We’ve been settling into our new home in Lexington, Massachusetts and have enjoyed getting to know this fantastic community.  Some of you may have seen my blog post about the Lexington Farmer’s Market or the piece in Lexington’s Colonial Times Magazine about Olio Taibi’s participation in the First Annual Taste of Lexington.  It’s been a wonderful welcome and we thank everyone for making us feel so at home.

We haven’t forgotten about our Cambridge/Somerville friends, though.  Last month, I did an Olio Taibi tasting at Dave’s Fresh Pasta.  And, I’m excited to share that Olio Taibi is featured at the newly opened Central Bottle, the wine and provisions shop in Central Square, started by our friends and foodies extraordinaire Maureen, Dave, Liz and Nick. This is a great addition to the Central Square Cambridge food scene!  The opening was picked up by the popular DailyCandy newsletter and I am proud to report that I were mentioned in it, too. Thanks, Nick for talking us up! Plans are in the making for an Olio Taibi tasting at Central Bottle in the next month or two.  I’ll keep you posted.
