Who says Olive Oil is best used in the kitchen?

Many Olive Oil soaps on the market are made with poor quality olive oil, the lowest grade, lowest quality oil. STONEHOUSE decided to turn the tide and use one of our best Extra Virgin Olive Oils to make our soaps and body oils—the first oil of the harvest, rich with anti-oxidants, phenols, and 100% Organic. The result is a wonderfully silky true Olive Oil soap that nourishes your skin as it cleanses. And the silkiness of the foam is ideal for shaving.

***Using Olive Oil on skin is GREAT for anti-aging!***

RAW VEGAN TRUFFLES

What is Raw Cacao? Is Chocolate really GOOD for me?
Each bar of Gnosis Chocolate is developed & handmade by a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. Since they don’t use any dairy in my product – Gnosis Chocolate will not affect your cholesterol! The kinds of fat in chocolate are stearic acid, omega 9, and palmitic acid – all of which are known to reduce cholesterol!!! These are the same fats that are found in coconuts, nuts, avocados, etc.

Because their main interest is holistic health counseling practice, Gnosis Chocolate is 100% committed to putting a healthful product on the market – not just one without the UN-healthy ingredients. Any calories in these bar are loaded with nutrients – vitamins, minerals, and neurotransmitters… that’s why it is classified as a super-food.

They are so beautifully packaged and look festive for Easter!

This time, we focused on our gluten free chocolate “Choc Alive!“ and how things that are good for you can also taste REALLY good. It is the only chocolate that we carry that does not have sugar, which is important to many of our peeps who are trying to avoid sugar, but don’t want to sacrifice the quality of taste in the process.  Choc Alive! mentions on their website that “Combining truly healthy, organic ingredients with careful, hand-crafted preparation, ChocAlive! products are ground- breaking, decadent and unparalleled in this increasingly health-conscious society.”

Here is a sampling of the ingredients used in their chocolate truffles sold here at provisions…

• Raw Organic Ecuadorian Cacao (fair trade) – our cacao beans have a deep and intense chocolate flavor sure to please any and all chocolate lovers!
• Raw Organic Coconut Butter - a melt in your mouth satisfying whole food consisting of coconut oil and coconut meat and brimming with dietary fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals.

Mamma Mia! One could only imagine how excited we were to get a phone call from Lidia Bastianich’s NYC restaurant “Felidia”, asking us if we would sell them our new harvest of OLIO NUOVO and our HOUSE BLEND Stonehouse California Olive Oils. We replied, “si!”… and brought our cloudy, yummy looking Olio Nuovo, as well as our classically delicious House Blend, over to their beautiful restaurant. Chef Fortunato Nicotra, Executive Chef of Felidia, said he wanted to use our Olio Nuovo for special holiday dishes.

Some may be surprised that an Italian restaurant with an Italian chef from Italy would be interested in anything other than using Italian products for his fine cuisine. In an interview found on http://www.hautenotes.com/2009/04/fortunato-nicotra—executive.html, Nicotra says, “Using fresh, local ingredients is more traditional in terms of Italian cuisine than anything else. When Italians cook, they get the best and the freshest tomatoes they can–they’d never use any that came from far away or were out of season.” This makes sense because our organically farmed grove guarantees our oils are amongst the freshest and the production of our oil uses fewer resources than imported oil. Go to: http://www.provisionsshop.com/product/olio-nuovo to read more about our Olio Nuovo.

Wine Spectator named Felidia one of the “Top Ten Italian Restaurants in the United States” in 1998, and in 2008 Jerry Shriver of USA Today named it number #2 in his end of year round up of restaurants around the world. We are honored that Chef Fortunato Nicotra, and the whole Felidia gang, purchased our oils to use for their specialty holiday dishes. Everyone, go wine and dine at Felidia as a holiday treat for you and your loved ones, and let us know how our oils taste!!
