Comment on Wholesale Grape Cruet Purchase by 914

Huge difference in the glass from China and borosilicate glass from Europe.

Fill the cheap Chinese cruet with gourmet olive oil and quality balsamic vinegar. Then watch it shatter by just jarring it slightly.

What a waste of gourmet olive oil and Italian balsamic.

Spinach curry is undoubtedly my absolute favourite! I even found adedicated spinach recipes website which is my new favourite site now, you should take a look!

I have actually used apple cider vinegar for weight loss. I read a piece about the numerous health benefits that can be acquired from consuming it each day, I in addition noticed it mentioned that it may help with weight loss. Apple cider vinegar works through reducing water retention and increasing your metabolic rate, anyway I have lost about four lbs in about 4 weeks so I have no complaints!

Comment on Elegant Gift under $50 by 914

Trying to find a great gift for under 50 bucks is a real challenge. The glass cruets are a great choice. Especially the grape cruet. After seeing these on a nice Italian restaurant table, as a customer, you can’t leave without finding out where you can purchase them!

Unique gift idea for under $50; what a find! And, this will be perfect for Holiday gift lists as well as Mother’s Day.

Comment on Online gift shopping this Holiday Season by Laura

Laura — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 21:21:50 +0000

Both the Gourmet Gift Set as well as the Bread Dipping Gift Set have made excellent gifts on my list. The cruet with the Italian oil and vinegar is a nice touch especially with some one who loves Italain Food. Sometimes it is hard to find good quality oil and vinegar, but the Masserie oil and vinegar is exceptional.

The Bread Dipping Gift Set really is a nice present for mom. The stoneware dipping dishes are ideal single serving size. The dipping herbs are wonderful when you rehydrate them before serving. The dishes are a very nice bone white color and I love that you can put them in the microwave or dishwasher. For gourmet gifts, both these gift sets are top rate.

Comment on Client gifts and realtor closing gift by Will

Will — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 01:41:03 +0000

As a client gift, the grape cruet would make a great selection. I know some mortgage companies use a smoked fish gift box… others may give a door mat or wind chime. This kitchen gift is far more practical and unique. It also is the center of attention at a dinner which guests attend. Because of its unusual design, the grape cruet is a great conversation starter, and as the company who gave the item, what more can you ask for than the question, “who gave you that?”

As deliciously simple as it sounds, bread dipping requires only freshly-baked bread, premium olive oil, vinegar and a dish to mix them in. This Italian appetizer is perfect for those on the popular Mediterranean Diet, who want to eat in a healthy way but hate feeling they’re depriving their taste buds.

Comment on Bread Dipping, Old World Hors D’oeuvres by Al

Al — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 22:02:43 +0000

Quite a number of individuals are resorting to the Mediterranean Diet due to society’s ever-increasing fixation on being healthy. The Mediterranean Diet is rapidly becoming popular because it allows one to follow a proper diet all while still being able to enjoy tasteful food. Bread dipping appetizers, which originate from Italy, are delicious and perfectly conform to the Mediterranean diet. To create a bread dipping appetizer, all that is needed is bread, olive oil, vinegar, and a bread dipping dish.

Many people who are trying to lose weight have decided to try the Mediterranean diet because it is one that will allow them to eat healthy without feeling like they are starving themselves. One of the most popular appetizers on the Mediterranean Diet that originates from Italy is bread dipping. It’s a simple recipe that only needs a dish for bread dipping, fresh bread, and premium olive oil and vinegar.

Al — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 22:01:04 +0000

The desire to be healthy without feeling deprived is encouraging more and more people to follow the Mediterranean Diet. Appetizers like Italian bread dipping offer taste without guilt. You don’t have to be a chef to make it, either. With a little vinegar, some olive oil, and a great slice of bread, dieters can have a flavorful appetizer that is well within the guidelines of the healthy Mediterranean Diet.

Dipping dishes made from American porcelain are the only way to go. Earthenware and most stoneware dishes chip real easy, which seems to happen often in the dishwasher. Porcelain dipping dishes are much more durable and are used extensively in the restuarants. Always remeber porcelain denotes quality and durability. They are well worth the expense.

Comment on Bread Dip Herbed Mix Recipe by Nate

Nate — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 17:37:34 +0000

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet without compromising on flavour and choice is something most of us are trying to achieve. In Italy the simple practice of dipping freshly baked bread into extra virgin olive oil laced with balsamic vinegar and sprinkled with herbs is truly inspired. With the ready availability of Mediterranean products such as Ciabatta and Foccacia bread it has never been easier. Or, as an alternative, try French baguette and Sourdough, which also work just as well. This is perfect for sharing with friends at the start of a meal.

Comment on Bread dipping dish for herbed olive oil by Sven

Sven — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 00:52:13 +0000

The Mediterranean Diet is good for dieters who don’t want to feel deprived from the food that they love. Bread dipping is a good appetizer that fits right into the Mediterranean Diet. Its easier than you can imagine to make a bread dipping appetizer. You will need a dish some bread and some vinegar and olive oil. Always use fresh baked bread, serve it with some extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Mix some herbs and spices for added flavor. You can find a variety of breads that are suitable for dipping at your local deli. Ask them for ciabatta, focaccia or sourdough. A nice freshly baked French baguette is best served while its still warm. This is wonderful on a cold winters night.

Comment on Olive oil health benefits by Admin

Admin — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 04:23:15 +0000

In Nov 2005, the BBC reported on olive oil research that linked the Mediterranean diet to a reduction in the risk of heart attack. Researcher, Dr Francisco Perez Jimenez concluded that the micronutrients contained within the juice of extra virgin olive oil were a large factor.

Olive oil contains phenol, which researchers in Spain believe helps to protect both cardio vascular function and the heart. Research has shown that these micronutrients provide the body with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and help to counteract blood clotting, all of which contributes to a healthy heart.

These cruets are on the table at Cellini restaurant in New York City. They use an exquisite oil that accompanies your meal, the glass cruets are used to decant the oil.

They are fabulous drizzlers that will not allow you to drizzle too much oil on your entree. They are also an elegant decanter to have on the table. Very nice!

If you have ever picked up a sticky yucky olive oil bottle at the restaurant table, you probably put it down right quick. And doubtful if you used it at all. I have been looking for dripless cruets just for this problem. I love olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and would love to use them without the mess. These look pefect for what I need.

Comment on Chef’s Three Oil Drizzlers Set by Tiana

Tiana — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 13:17:16 +0000

A drizzler set is something that I never really thought of until recently. When I was younger, I generally went out to party, rather than entertaining.

Now that I’ve almost hit the 30 milestone though, I find that I’m happier to spend an evening at home entertaining that what I am to spend the night on a crowded dance floor having drinks and cigarette ash spilt all over me.

These oil drizzlers really fit with my new sophisticated view of entertainment. They’re simple, but stunning, and I don’t need to hide my olive oil or vinegar away in the cupboard anymore.

What’s even better is that the oil drizzlers don’t drip. It doesn’t matter what substance is in them, I’ve yet to have a mess created. It’s a big difference to my old oil bottles that used to be covered in oil stains, not to mention the bench top or table.

If you entertain, even occasionally, or enjoy olive oil and vinegar frequently, I highly recommend purchasing an oil drizzler set. Or, if someone often hosts you at their house, they would make a great host/ess gift.

J.C — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 23:50:51 +0000

The grape cruet is a wonderful addition to any table. It’s simply beautiful and makes a lovely centrepiece for any occasion.

I ordered one for my mother-in-law, and then almost kept it myself when it arrived. However, I eventually decided to hand it over (mainly because I’d run out of time to find something else before her birthday).

Anyway, she loved it, and features it on the table all the time. I’ve since been giving hints to hubby that I wouldn’t be opposed to receiving one as my birthday nears, but most likely I’ll end up buying the grape cruet for myself.

My wife was given the drizzle cruet set as a birthday gift. She absolutely loves them, especially after accidently drenching a salad with olive oil poured from the manufacturer’s bottle. She now drizzles everything with these cruets. They fit perfectly in her hand, and she never worries about dropping them or picking them up sticky or oily. We both really enjoy using oil and vinegar all the time when we eat. The drizzler cruets have made it easy to use either olive oil or balsamic vinegar without a concern about pouring too much at one time.

We both recommend the drizzle cruets with the Masserie Oil and Vinegar as a great gift selection. Perfect for Mother’s Day surprise gift.

Bee keepers will travel with their commercial hives from the northern parts of Canada and the US to the southern regions each year. They will harvest notable honeys of water white clover honey in Montana to the pungent flavors of the south, such as sourwood and tupelo.

Comment on Grilled Steak with Oil and Vinegar Marinade by John

The marinade described here is very good if you are grilling meat, either chicken or steak. When we make chicken or beef fajitas we cut the meat into strips and marinade just as described above.

Using the zip lock bag is perfect, because we keep it in the fridge anywhere from 4-12 hours soaking. Its also very clean and does not smell up your fridge. Very simple to turn the meat over as well, just plop the bag over. Just before grilling, I drain the marinade from the bag and pat the meat dry with a paper towel. Some times I will brush the meat lightly with olive oil as the meat grills. Simple clean up too, just throw away the ziplock bag!

Really flavorful, folks around the neighborhood know when we are grilling, it smells so good.

Comment on The stylish olive oil bread dipping dish by Ron

I am really looking forward to using a new bread dipping dish. Dipping olive oil as an appetizer is something my family enjoys when we go out to eat. If the dipping oil has a great spice blend in it, the bread is usually wiped out before the main course is ever served.

Trying to do bread dipping at home has not been very sucessful because the saucers we have are too shallow, and the bowls we have are to big. I look forward to the new bread dipping dishes we have ordered.

We have also tried a small serving of oil with balsamic vinegar drizzled in together. It makes an excellent bread or veggie dip.

I have an Italian friend, and she introduced me to bread dipping years ago. I’m actually surprised that it’s taken until now for it to become globally popular, because it’s such a quick and easy appetizer to prepare.
My personal favourite bread dipping combination is some focaccia, dipped into some extra virgin olive oil, and then into some Parmesan cheese. Not only does it taste great, it’s far healthier than many other snacks that I could be eating.
A bread dipping appetizer is now always my contribution to any dinner parties that I attend. I always feel that I’m cheating a little, because it’s so easy to prepare, and it always gets rave reviews.

What is nice about bread dipping as an appetizer is that it really isn’t a new idea. Although you are right about it being a new trend here in the States.

We have numerous popular chefs with Euro backgrounds and experience that bring Old Country bread dipping recipes and styles to the restuarants they work with. I enjoy reading many of their articles and tips they often publish.

Bread dipping with oil and vinegar is no longer just found in an Italian restuarant. It is fast becoming popular in many of our homes, thanks to the Mediterranean influence our favorite cooks have shared. Thanks mom for the home baked bread recipe!
