Provisions

150 Beekman Street
(212) 358-8700
A quick walk around the corner from the Fulton Stall Market brought us to our next stop, the natural grocery store Provisions, where we had the chance to sample some baked goods made with Stonehouse Olive Oil. Owner Megan Cariola baked us an assortment of treats that featured olive oil as one of the ingredients: Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies, Oatmeal White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies, and Banana Almond Bread with Cream Cheese.

I had heard it was possible to bake with olive oil but had never tried anything that was actually prepared that way. I had to skip the Oatmeal White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies due to my cranberry allergy, but the Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies and the Banana Almond Bread with Cream Cheese were deliciously moist.

After eating my cookie and piece of bread, I wandered over to the olive oil tasting station, where Megan had set up little containers of flavored olive oils for us (and anyone else who visited the store) to try. I was starting to get full from the food we had been eating all afternoon, so I didn’t try any of the olive oils. I do know, however, that I want to try the Blood Orange Olive Oil and the Persian Lime Olive Oil at some point in the future.
