  1. What a beautiful gift set! I think I would make a blood orange vinaigrette to start or maybe use the blood orange oil as a drizzle over some chicken or fish - yum! What a wonderful giveaway.

  4. My husband and I are olive oil junkies. I agree with Kim, that the blood orange would make for a great vinaigrette. But the possibilities really are endless. I've got my fingers crossed.

  5. I love blood orange! I actually just found a recipe I would try for Blood Orange Grilled Scallops and Brownies! Yes I found a recipe for brownies that uses Blood Orange Olive oil. How exciting.

  7. This looks awesome! And my first initial is O...does that count? I think the orange flavored oil would be great in a salad!

  8. The bottles of olive oil are really good and great looking for your counter decor. I would make Blood Orange and Olive Oil Cake. The recipes uses 2/3 cup olive oil. And the cake looks delicious!

  9. WOW! I love olive oil so much. I would use it for caprese,making gnocchi,great vinagrettes, and roasted greek potatoes.

  10. ooooo, i love fancy olive oil and vinegars. i could definitely use the blood orange olive oil in some desserts i'm baking for our Halloween party. the Zinfadel vinegar would be fabulous over a pork dish or included in a sushi dipping sauce. and the porto vinegar would taste wonderful paired with fresh cheeses and fruits with an herbed crusty bread. these have so many possibilities i can hardly decide!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oooh, what WOULDN'T I make with this stuff! Pesto, dressings, roasted herbed potatoes.... even a simple dipping sauce for bread w/just the oil and the vinegar. YUM!

    ReplyDelete
  12. The O Porto vinegar would be great mixed with red wine and then reduced to make a rich, slightly sweet sauce for a stuffed pork or beef tenderloin.

    ReplyDelete
  13. The products would be wonderful for salads and dipping sauces, but I would love to try using the O Blood Orange olive oil to make an olive oil sorbet/ice cream.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Wow -- Very interesting flavors! First, I'd have to display it on the counter, since they're pretty attractive. Then I'd probably try them on almost everything :) Salads, pouched chicken, sautéing vegetables, etc. Thanks for a chance to try 'em.

    ReplyDelete
  15. This looks beautiful! The blood orange olive oil would make a great citrus scallop saute; I'd like to try the zinfandel vinegar to add acid to my Italian Red sauce and a port vinegar would make an excellent salad dressing -- perhaps all on it's own, I'm thinking butter lettuce, gorganzola cheese, pecans, maybe some chicken.... mmmm Can you tell I'm hungry!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I would use it for a marinade for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I would use the blood orange olive oil to drizzle over oven roasted beets, add the zinfandel or porto vinegar in a vinaigrette for a salad.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Wow...very cool! They are all gorgeous!

  20. I would love one of these! I would definitely use the blood orange olive oil on a fennel citrus herb salad (http://www.vanillalatte.com/2009/04/20/fennel-orange-herb-salad)! Mmmm and the vinegars would go so well with fish. I'm getting so many ideas!

    ReplyDelete
  21. It will be an excellent opportunity to incorporate each flavour into desserts like chocolate ganache for truffles and custards for Pate a choux and creme brulees! Warm fruit compote would be fabulous for this cozy Autumn....it has already begun snowing in Boston!

  23. This would be so much fun to experiment with in the kitchen

    ReplyDelete
  24. I haven't done much with "fancier oils" so winning this would allow me to experiment and try several new recipes and tastes. That could both fun and educational as long as the food turns out good. I think I am a decent enough cook and baker that it could.

  25. The first thing that came to my mind was to slow poach salmon in olive oil. And also flavoured oils. Will like to make rosemary infused and also lemon infused before the seaon is over! Oh yes, always wanted to try making a chocolate mousse with olive oil :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think the oil would be wonderful to prepare fish and in something chocolate like a mousse.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oooo, nice! I've never used flavored oils before. I suppose I'd sub them in for the regular stuff where ever it's called for!

    Btw, I think I left you my cell# in an earlier email just call me and we can work it out! It would be very cool to meet!

  28. Great giveaway Miranda! I would definitely use this to drizzle over fresh romaine salads! Would love to just taste the oil! Also, stop on by my place as I to am having a Spanish earthenware, cazuela, giveaway!! So much fun!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Gorgeous giveaway! If I won, I'd be hard-ressed not to want to share it as a gift for a fellow foodie friend. Of course, I might just keep it for myself instead...looks awesome.

  30. Oh yummy...with the ornage and maybe some added soy sauce and ginger I would marinate a pork tenderloin for my upcoming Bunko party.

    thanks - Michelle

  31. I saw the giveaway, Miranda, only I thought it was not fair that I participated as I live in a country that's one of the main olive oil producers in the world... :-) It's a lovely giveaway, so let it be... I love vinegar in salads, like in an endive, pomegranate and walnuts salad... yummy.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Fabulous giveaway! I would make emulsions and tricks with molecular gastronomy like foams with these oils and vinegars!

    ReplyDelete
  33. ohhh what a yummy giveaway! I know all of us foodies go through a ton of olive oil!
    Thanks for you comment on my Bugs and Butterflies cake!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. They'd be perfect in a few salad dressings, but they'd be better in pesto!

    ReplyDelete
  35. If I were to win, the Blood Orange Olive Oil would definitely end up in a dessert somewhere. On page 171 of Cooking From the Hip by Cat Cora, there is a heavenly Chocolate Budino recipe that calls for eggs and butter, so I'm thinking a blood orange flavored oil might be able to step in for these partially. And of course both vinegars would be massively, massively appreciated as well! What an awesome giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think I would make an olive oil cake, but sub some of the oil out with the blood orange oil :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. What a great giveaway!! I would use the O Zinfandel for a vinagarette and the Orange Olive Oil for a marinade in chicken or fish.

    ReplyDelete
  38. The blood orange would make a fantastic vinaigrette. Great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Among many other things, I'd definitely use them for a dipping sauce with bread, my favorite indulgence. I realize that isn't very imaginative but you can't beat fresh French bread dipped in olive oil and vinegar.

    What a great idea for a giveaway! Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  40. What I would give to try these! I am looking for them...the blood orange sounds fantastic!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I would use the Zinfandel vinegar for a dipping suace for grilled shrimp and the Blood Orange Olive to make a vinaigrette for my Autumn roasted pumpkin salad...yum.
    Thank you for this giveaway...

    ReplyDelete
  42. Such an amazing giveaway. I am thinking shrimps salad with the blook orange olive, a vinaigrette for a great salad with the Zinfandel Vinegar & would be using the Porto Vinegar to do a sauce reduction to serve with meat.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I use olive oil every day. What wouldn't I do with them ;) Amazing flavors. I'm sure I would start out with some vinaigrette's & then move on from there.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Olive oil is a staple in my house. Flavored olive oils can be used to flavor a brownie or cake mix. Also, it is great mixed with bourbon as a brush on flavoring for chicken.

    ReplyDelete
  45. They all look delicous. I would reduce them as a great topping for filet mingon, fish, veggies, ice cream...anything! I have never tried this brand and I would love to!

  46. Hello there,
    I will definitely make a salad dressing from the blood orange olive oil. Mix it with a bit of honey and a splash of balsamic and drizzle it over a fresh mango.
    Maybe I'll just swig it from the bottle every time I pass through the kitchen.
    Thanks for a great blog.
    Justin

  47. Just under the wire! These products look divine: I would love to use the vinegars simply to prepare favorite greens such as kale, chard and squash leaves - giving them that extra spark of flavor so that they're not just neglected little side dishes.

    As for the olive oil, I've never used them in a dessert before but have heard a lot about olive oil ice cream! With blood orange, that sounds like something I'd like to give a try.

  48. I'd love to try the Zinfandel vinegar in a warm bacon vinagrette with spinach and shrimp. Yum!

  49. Miranda, I just received the gift box yesterday. The bottles are beautiful - ones to display on my kitchen counter - and I can't wait to try the oil and vinegars. Thank you so much!
