Petaluma, California — O Olive Oil & Vinegar, California’s premier artisan vinegar maker, announces the release of its first batch of O Raspberry Champagne Vinegar. Ruby red raspberries dance with a sparkle of Champagne vinegar to evoke the joys of a summer day.
A splash of raspberry wakes up the flavors of nearly everything. Always luscious and lively with a sunny disposition, this vinegar is full of flavor and now produced and traditionally aged out of O’s state-of-the-art vinegar plant in Sonoma County, California. It is the newest addition to the company’s award-winning vinegars.
“We are delighted to have this flavorful and exciting vinegar join our growing family of oils and vinegars, all produced right here in California,” says Greg Hinson, President and Founder of the company. We asked him why he underscores, ‘Made in California.’ “In Sonoma, California, we happen to be in the middle of the world’s most spectacular farm country with all of its rich land and wonderful microclimates.” he responded. “We have access to the best ingredients and are fortunate to be able to partner with some of the world’s pioneering growers. We are inspired by the rich variety grown virtually in our own backyard.”
“Just as important to us,” says Hinson, “is to provide products that are sustainable, environmentally friendly, and that maintain a small carbon footprint. We have also found it easier to control for these variables as well as the quality and freshness of our products if we make them entirely in California. Part of the fun of my work is to walk the groves and vineyards where our products begin their journey to the table. Traceability happens to be important to our consumers as well. They want to know where their food comes from. They want fresh, clean, pesticide and herbicide-free food. So, it’s a happy coming together of consumer needs and our own company values. We don’t want to sell anything we would not want to serve our own children.”
A splash of raspberry wakes up the flavors of nearly everything. It’s perfect in simple lettuce or fruit salads. Add depth to your sauces and marinades, or deglaze a pan of roasted root vegetables.
From the heart of California’s wine country, O’s vinegars are made using premium local wines and centuries-old methods since 1997. O Olive Oil & Vinegar’s products have been featured on The Food Network, Top Chef, Good Morning America, The Dr. Oz Show and in multiple publications such as Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Gourmet, Saveur and The New York Times. Many of O’s products have been honored with 17 SOFI Awards by the National Association of Specialty Food Trades (Specialty Food Association).
