Olive oil, one of life’s simplest pleasures.
A key insight we have discovered in wine pairing is that it can be helpful to think about whether a region traditionally cooks with olive oil or butter. In the warmer Mediterranean regions, where olive oil anchors the cuisine, wines tend to be leaner, brighter, and driven by freshness. These styles naturally complement dishes built on vegetables, seafood, herbs, and good oil. In contrast, cooler northern regions that cook more with butter often favor richer wines with a bit more weight. This connection between olive oil and wine is more than just about flavor. It is about culture, tradition, and the simple pleasure of gathering around the table with good food, good wine, and good company.
