Greetings everyone,
February is a special time for us at Sunshine Coast Olive Oil because throughout the month, Extra Virgin Olive Oils from the Northern Hemisphere (i.e. Mediterranean and Californian) arrive.
We already have the amazing, award-winning Spanish Picual from Oro Bailen and have just added three new Ultra Premium (UP) Extra Virgin Olive oils from California, including an organic Arbequina.
A new balsamic flavour arrived, and we’ve been cooking up a storm with it: Pineapple White Balsamic. We have included a few recipes for some of our latest offerings.
Sunshine Coast Olive Oil Co. is an official sponsor of an exciting event, the March 1st Oscar's Eve Party fundraiser organized by the Sechelt Rotary Club.
If you haven’t seen the NY times illustrated article on olive oil fraud, we’ve attached a link.
We also have partnered with three local businesses: a home-delivery service, a bakery and a local artist who is recycling our bottles to make culinary art with a Sunshine Coast theme.
Finally, we have Valentine’s gift sets that include Lindor chocolate truffles.

Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils
We have 3 new Ultra Premium extra virgin olive oils in stock: Arbequina, Organic Arbequina and Koroneiki (these are Californian olive oils made at the Bario Olive Oil Estate in Dinuba,CA).
The Spanish favourite, Oro Bailen Picual (from the Ora Bailen Estate in Jaen, Spain), is in stock. This award-winning oil displays distinctive ‘tomatoe notes’ and is absolutely fabulous on raw tomatoes.

A Taste of Hawaii
Introducing our new white balsamic flavour: Pineapple White Balsamic...
Our golden pineapple balsamic is sweet and tart with the heady aroma of fresh, ripe pineapple. This subtle yet zesty balsamic is the perfect complement to fruit salads and fresh berries. It adds flavour without discoloring salads, is delicious in sparkling beverages and adds depth to a pineapple ham glaze. As always, you can come for complimentary tastings. If you do, try pairing it with our coconut balsamic or Persian lime oil.

Susan is making serving plates with our bottles, and her beautiful artwork is available in our store.
Besides being great for the environment, they look beautiful on the table.
