Check out our top 5 tips! Bring Some Color In: Enough with the rich red and Christmas greens, it's time for color, color, color! Adding accent colors to your house is as easy as putting up some colorful curtains, art, or even tea towels in the kitchen. Check out a couple of our favorite tea towels for a pop of color. Springfield Tea Towel Bleuet Tea Towel Break Out Some Spring Recipes: With food being such a big part of family and culture, there's no wonder why some foods relate so iconically to Springtime. Two of our Spring favorites are our Spring Blend Yogurt Chicken Breasts and Citrus Carrot Cake. Smell Like Spring: The feeling of Spring shouldn't only be visually pleasing, it should be an all-encompassing, multiple sense-engaging celebration! One of the most important of those senses... scent! What scents do you associate with Spring? Flowers and freshness? Try our Lavender & Geranium Body Butter. Warm, cozy vanilla for those rainy Spring days? We've got you covered with our hand-poured, all-natural Vanilla Soy Candle.....And for some of you that iconic Spring smell might be fresh baked goodies. Say hello to the mouthwatering scent of Limoncello Poundcake! Celebrate with Some Fruity Drinks: What's better than celebrating the arrival of Spring than pouring up a few drinks and enjoying them with friends and family? Two of our favorites are our Olive Oil Cocktail and Strawberry and Sriracha Blended Margarita. Give the Gift of Spring: Help your friends feel the De-Winterization as well by giving them them some classic spring flavors like Pasolivo Lemon Olive Oil and Spring Spice Blend...

Seattle Wine and Food Experience 2017

“Welcome to Slo Cal. A place where slow will set you free.” - http://www.slocal.com Nestled in SLO county, in the heart of Paso Robles, California, lies the beautiful Pasolivo Ranch and the new downtown Pasolivo location. Blessed by a combination of temperate Coastal weather and rich, fertile soil, we have been producing award-winning olive oil and welcoming visitors to our orchards and tasting room for over a decade. Seattle comes to Pasolivo The central coast of California is adapting and adjusting to a busier population and, with that, comes positive changes. As of April 13, 2017, Alaska Airlines has announced direct flights from Seattle to San Luis Obispo. This process has taken more than a year to complete and we are happy to have this opportunity! “One of the areas we all know we have the opportunity to enhance here is our technology sector, and Seattle is a big tech area,” –San Luis Obispo County Supervisor, Adam Hill Click HERE to read the full details and article about how this decision came about. Pasolivo comes to Seattle With this huge announcement, we thought now would be the perfect time to visit Seattle and show Seattle what Pasolivo is all about. We had the opportunity to attend the 9th Annual Grand Tasting Event for the Seattle Wine and Food Experience, in which we provided California olive oil tastings to the public. The tasting included our award-winning olive oils, unique salt and seasoning blends, and vinegar combinations.
