Summertime happening at the Olivina

Hello All,

It has been a while since we have updated the blog.... So, here are the some of the summer happenings:

Farmer's Market and Media....

The Livermore Farmers Market is now in full swing. Olivina has a booth at the market where you can sample and purchase some of the delicious Olive Oils. As well as picking up some of the wonderful soaps. So, please stop by and visit us because we believe Olivina Olive Oil will make a wonderful addition to your summer menu. We look forward to seeing you at the market. The Livermore Farmers Market is on Thursdays 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM from now until October 15, 2009 at Carnegie Park at 3rd & J Street.
Olivina has been featured at many restaurants and in many recipes. Most recently Olivina was featured on View on the Bay in a Salmon Tartare recipe. This recipe was created by the Executive Chef at Marche Restaurant which is located in Menlo Park. We are also pleased to announce that the oils are soon to be featured as a staple ingredient in the restaurant. Please check out the Salmon Tartare at http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=view_from_the_bay/food_wine&id=6798085 and for more information about Marche Restaurant please visit them at http://www.restaurantmarche.com/
