“I like the genderless pantry category, because these needed items offer the opportunity to be clever and unexpected. During the holidays, since everyone’s kitchen is overpacked consider a beautiful bottle of Fancy Peasant olive oil.”

“Rooted in the love of sharing her family’s traditional Greek recipes with others, Fancy Peasant set off on a mission to create the next wave of clean, simple and wildly medicinal Greek artisanal essentials.”

“Dubbed 'Grecian liquid gold,' this EVOO is made using handpicked olives sourced on a single-estate, and as the name suggests, it’s designed to be truly all-purpose with a lengthy range of health benefits.”

“Anastasia Ganias-Gellin is passionate about the Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil — nicknamed 'Liquid Gold' thanks to a fruity, buttery and smooth flavor—and creating recipes inspired by the traditional cuisine from her family’s region of Greece.”

“The combination of the Ionian Sea breeze along with the unique ecosystem of Lechaina, Greece, means it has been home to the world’s most nutritious and delicious Greek extra-virgin olive oil for over a century. The result is a buttery, smooth and highly aromatic GEVOO that is so multidimensional in flavor you can use it on everything (it also happens to taste so sensational you will want to swallow spoonfuls of it). You can literally use it on every dish—guilt-free.”

“Norma Kamali, ageless at 75, has called olive oil her “favorite beauty food,” and habitually carries a mini bottle with her wherever she goes. Gleaming, golden Jennifer Lopez insisted that it be a key ingredient in her new skincare line, having slathered it on her hair and body since childhood. Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyoncé consume it liberally. Sophia Loren bathes in it, literally, and look at her. Could the fountain of youth be lurking in our kitchen cupboards?”

“After my father died I started cooking and talking about grief on Instagram. People wrote to me saying they haven’t been able to get back into the kitchen after a loved one died, and that eating is the most lonely and painful part of their day—I didn’t know how much the worlds of food and grief combine. I found myself teaching people how to cook, talking to strangers, and healing my own pain.”
