It finishes cleanly and is a perfect varietal blend typical of the Italian tradition.”  The third LOCAL varietal is the Sierra Nevada Extra Virgin Olive Oil grown just outside of Valley Springs.  Marisolio describes this oil as “herbaceous with notes of artichoke, moderate bitterness and a bold peppery finish.”  Marisolio offers an informative tasting room and bar and their products range from the Wild Mushroom and Sage Olive Oil,  Blood Orange infused Extra Virgin Oil to Truffle Oils, Almond and delicate Walnut oils.  Not to be missed is their extensive offering of flavored vinegars.  Barrel Aged Pinot Noir Vinegar and Blackberry Ginger are just a few of my favorites!  Mary Lou and her company pride themselves on being Farmers First and they work with other small farms to source only the finest ingredients.  All of their products are made naturally with “honesty, pure flavor and in the traditional way.”  Marisolio tasting room is located in Murphys and is open daily.  Click here for location!
