Infused olive oil
There’s a specialty store here in town, The Tubby Olive, that sells olive oil from around the world. The oil comes to them in casks and then they place the different varieties in stainless vessels. You open the spout on the bottom and draw the oil into glass bottles of different sizes … in flavors such as truffle, peach and other citrus fruit, herb-infused—the blends change with the seasons. As for using them: just dipping a nice piece of crusty bread into them, or with salads or for roasting vegetables and finishing fish dishes instead of mounting with butter.
