When we visited Florida last month, we spent a day exploring the Winter Park community, close to Orlando. It’s a very nice area to shop or dine at, and enjoy the lovely Florida weather.
A shop I found particularly interesting was the Ancient Olive, off the main drag in a side mall. As the name implies, it specializes in olive oil products, and I’ve never before seen so many varieties of infused/flavored olive oil. Strawberry, peach, truffle, to name but a few of the dozens of variants.
They also sold other items like cookbooks and products made of olive and other woods, most of which had a most beautiful grain. I’m a huge fan of worked wood.
