Why I Was Doing Shots in Delray Beach

New store The Ancient Olive opens up in Delray Beach! Taste several gourmet and organic flavors of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We tried many kinds of wonderful olive oil and balsamic vinegar – now these are the kind of shots I can get excited about! Located on Atlantic Ave in Delray Beach, this is the third store of The Ancient Olive. We were warmly greeted and invited to taste as many flavors as we wanted. A few of my favorites: Cranberry-Pear Balsamic, Espresso Balsamic, Garlic Olive Oil, Persian Lime Olive Oil, Chocolate Balsamic, Blood Orange Olive Oil. So many great flavors!! We sampled a few suggested pairings as well and decided to purchase the Persian Lime Olive Oil and Lavender Balsamic Olive Oil. This flavor combo is particularly great for marinating fish as suggested by shop owners. The deeper flavors of vinegar such as chocolate and espresso are great for marinating steak.

At home the next day, I was excited to try the new flavor combo we bought:
Organic Persian Lime Olive Oil + Lavender Balsamic Vinegar
We marinated fresh mahi filets in this amazing oil and vinegar combo.
I also sliced up onions from Bedners Farm on 441 to grill along with baby sweet bell peppers.
Heman grilled the fish 18-19 minutes on medium heat on the grill and the veggies for about 15 minutes.
Mahi salad with veggies for me.
Mahi fish tacos for Heman with Organic corn tortillas, cilantro, avocado, and salsa.

We’re going to have to move to Delray. All the good stuff is there.
It’s a great idea for the store to offer the shot samples. Perfect way to make
sure you get exactly what you want since good quality olive oil isn’t cheap…it
shouldn’t be otherwise it will taste that way.
Always something fun and new going on! You’ll have to come back soon and we would love for you to move down!
Heman keeps saying, wow this is really good quality olive oil. I buy organic, but this stuff takes it to another level.
