Has anyone ever tried Olivier Napa Valley VSOP? It is the sweetest, most wonderful thing I've ever had! I usually take some homegrown tomatoes, top them with fresh mozzarella and basil and drip it over the top. Mmmmmmmm! I can't say enough good things about it. Unfortunately, it isn't available in most stores since they're a small company but definitely worth a trip to Napa for it!

Lisa, you sent me scurrying over to google this - we pick up all sorts of goodies on our trips, so could not say whether we've tried this or not. After looking at the bottle I don't think I have run across this....yet. The label looks very familiar, so have probably run across one of their other products. Will certainly keep an eye out for it.

They have an amazing little shop in Napa but I've also ordered their things online.(www.oliviernapavalley.com) You can taste every one of their products in the store. Their olive oils are really good too. I have lots of favorites!I used to live close to Napa so I could go up there frequently. Luckily they ***** things at a very low cost so I put in an order every few months. My other favorite is the mushroom duxelle mixture. This is absolutely to die for in a stuffed pork tenderloin or in the beef wellingtons! Who wants to cut up all the mushrooms when you can have a better mixture with less work?

Thanks!! Tell me what you think about it once you try it! I've had just about everything there and haven't had anything I didn't like! The tapenades are really great too! The artichoke parmesan reggiano is fabulous over pasta!! And I love cooking with the herbs de provence oil. Mmmm I'm drooling........

"artichoke parmesan reggiano" - YES, that's where I've seen the label. I used this product in individual tarts when I was catering - it was delicous!!!!

I've also tried some others and have liked it all!
