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.
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely could use a set like that. I'd be making many sauces and vinaigrettes with those. Especially with fish. yum!!!
ReplyDeletePok, chicen, salads, fruit - what a winning combo! Lucky you - they are all delicious.
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful set I'd like it with a bbqed tenderloin more a very rich chimichurri sauce, this olive oil match perfect!
ReplyDeleteI'm sending this post to my twitter followers to spread the world :)
Cheers!

This looks awesome! And my first initial is O...does that count? I think the orange flavored oil would be great in a salad!
ReplyDeleteThe 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!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love olive oil so much. I would use it for caprese,making gnocchi,great vinagrettes, and roasted greek potatoes.
ReplyDeleteooooo, 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!
ReplyDeleteOooh, 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!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteWow -- 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.
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteI would use it for a marinade for sure!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWow...very cool! They are all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMiranda,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by FLB. I was here earlier and I just shared this post with my facebook friends. The set looks quite fancy, what a fabulous giveaway!

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!
ReplyDeleteIt 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!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by Mommys Kitchen. I am glad you found me to. I love cooking and most of all cooking for and with my family. I am a olive oil lover as well. so your site is perfect. I will definietly be back again.
ReplyDeleteThis would be so much fun to experiment with in the kitchen
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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 :)
ReplyDeleteI think the oil would be wonderful to prepare fish and in something chocolate like a mousse.
ReplyDeleteOooo, 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!
ReplyDelete~ingrid
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!
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!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous 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.
ReplyDeleteOh yummy...with the ornage and maybe some added soy sauce and ginger I would marinate a pork tenderloin for my upcoming Bunko party.
ReplyDeletethanks - Michelle
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.
ReplyDeleteFabulous giveaway! I would make emulsions and tricks with molecular gastronomy like foams with these oils and vinegars!
ReplyDeleteohhh what a yummy giveaway! I know all of us foodies go through a ton of olive oil!
ReplyDeleteThanks for you comment on my Bugs and Butterflies cake!!!!
They'd be perfect in a few salad dressings, but they'd be better in pesto!
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
ReplyDeleteI think I would make an olive oil cake, but sub some of the oil out with the blood orange oil :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!! I would use the O Zinfandel for a vinagarette and the Orange Olive Oil for a marinade in chicken or fish.
ReplyDeleteThe blood orange would make a fantastic vinaigrette. Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAmong 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a giveaway! Thanks.
What I would give to try these! I am looking for them...the blood orange sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this giveaway...
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteOlive 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.
ReplyDeleteThey 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!
ReplyDeleteHello there,
ReplyDeleteI 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
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.
ReplyDeleteAs 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.
I'd love to try the Zinfandel vinegar in a warm bacon vinagrette with spinach and shrimp. Yum!
ReplyDeleteMiranda, 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!
