OLIVE OIL & FUYU PERSIMMON VINEGAR - GIFT SET
A set of full size bottles of Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Persimmon Vinegar. The perfect addition to any cooks pantry.
A legendary duo everyone loves that is core to any cook’s pantry. The Persimmon Vinegar is bright and delicately tart, which balances out the rich, peppery greenness of the Olive Oil. And though the Olive Oil lacks the glamor of the Vinegar, it is the backbone of the Duo and essential to the balance. They’re both harvested and bottled right here in California, through regenerative methods that improve soil health and capture the nuance of the land. We use them multiple times a day, in everything from salad dressings to morning porridge.
This Holiday Gift Set comes in an embossed Gift Box, finished with a grosgrain Bow.
Inside This Set:
Persimmon Vinegar
Our Persimmon Vinegar is the shining star. It bursts with flavor, adding brightness to anything it touches. It is handmade by White Buffalo Land Trust with Fuyu & Hachiya Persimmons grown by farmers dedicated to improving soil health. They’re an amazing group of people devoted to regenerative land stewardship, and this Vinegar stands for that. The delicately sweet and tart flavor gets better and better with time, and it’s perfect on salads, marinades, or as a shrub.
Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our Olive Oil is the backbone of this duo. It was harvested by Philip Asquith — a fourth-generation Olive farmer. Phil’s trees were grown from cuttings taken from some of the oldest and most renowned Olive groves in Europe. It contains our famous blend of Mission, Picual, Leccino, Pendolino, and Frantoio Olive varietals, which makes for a vibrant, peppery Oil balanced by softer fruit notes. Perfect for dipping, finishing, roasting, and baking.
We donate a percentage of every product we sell to Farmer’s Footprint. They are a coalition of farmers, educators, doctors, scientists, and business leaders whose mission is to ban glyphosate, aiming to expose the impacts of chemical farming and offer a path forward through regenerative agricultural practices.
THE ESTATE
A place to bathe, eat, and bask in the garden’s most precious ingredients.
In the early 1940s, a determined pair of young renegades arrived in California to realize their vision of an earthly paradise. High atop the hills of Los Angeles, hidden by a lush orchard and dense gardens, the flamingo-pink estate became a secret haven for wild alchemy in the City of Angels.
Flamingo Estate is a home and garden. But it’s more than that, too. It’s the story of a lush orchard and pleasure garden on a California hillside overlooking Los Angeles, and the many hands that have helped tend it. It’s a philosophy that champions slow ways and ancient practices. It’s a quest for intimacy — between plants and people, body and spirit, heaven and earth.
Flamingo Estate is a reminder that beauty is not so much the penchant of certain people for exceptional things, as it is their refusal to stand for anything less.
With the help of our friends and a network of incredible farmers, we grow sage for soap and tomatoes for candles. We harvest salt from the cliffs of Big Sur and press olive oil from very old trees and keep bees for honey. In all of it, we’re invested in pleasure — for ourselves and our clients and friends — because we think it’s a path to radical change and cataclysmic beauty.
Things at Flamingo Estate take time and patience, and they’re meant to. There’s dreaming involved, and growing, and trial and error. There are skilled hands of expert purveyors at the helm of every bar of soap, every drop of oil, and there’s wisdom imbued in each product’s story. If something feels expensive here, it’s because these things are rare.
If you’re here, it’s because you believe in the power of the human hand, in collaboration with Mother Nature, to make beauty. We’re the ardent dreamers, the fantasists, the wizards in the workshop, and we’re all doing it for the marvels of the natural world.
