I sign up to a newsletter about sourdough and today it contained some information about olive oil and handling sourdough. But that was not the bit that got my attention. The part that got my attention was the part about the lady concerned (Vanessa Kimbell and her sourdough newsletter) having...

The mall that is closest to my home has an oil and vinegar store. You can buy or create all sorts of olive oils and vinegars. You can buy a 100 ml bottle and get whatever kind of olive oil you would like and they have all been infused. I bought a chocolate cherry jam there as well as a gift...
