"I'm strong to the finich, 'cause I eats me spinach." (Popeye)
You know what goes really well with spinach? Olive oil! The two pair together as well as Popeye and Miss Oyl!
If you're looking to compete with Popeye's gun show, you need to sail on over to Red Wing Olive Oils and Vinegars to get yourself some oils for all the spinach you'll be eating. Even if you aren't normally a salad person, the deliciously infused oils here might just change your mind.
This shop is the sister store to Pass Christian Olive Oils and Vinegars near New Orleans, and they also have location in Northfield, MN. Their award-winning olive oils and balsamic vinegars are sourced from Modena, Italy, so you know you're getting a great product.
They have tons of varieties for you to taste test, so it's difficult to narrow down what to buy. If I were cold-pressed to pick a few, my favorites would all be non-balsamic oils: Tuscan Herb-infused EVOO, Basil- infused EOO, and Herbs De Provence-infused EVOO. Vinegar in general leaves me...as Popeye would say, "disgustipated", so I can't comment on those varieties. I recently tried the Jalapeno-infused EVOO for the first time, and it blew me away. I can't imagine eating "me spinach" without it now!
The oils are reasonably priced: $7.00 for a 60Mil bottle; $12 for a 200 Mil bottle, and $20 for a 375 Mil bottle.
I'm not an olive oil sommelier-- "I yam what I yam, an' that's all I yam." But in my opinion, it is worth it to visit this shop to taste test and stock up on some delicious oils for your pantry. "Oh my gorshk!"
