We Olive – Charming
Belmont Shore Olive Specialty Store Hosts Olive,
Wine and Cheese Tastings
By Lydia E.
Ringwald
‘We
Olive,’ the charming Belmont Shore Olive
specialty store hosts olive, wine and cheese
tasting, with the first of the season event last
week.
A medley of cheeses from Belmont Shore’s
Venissimo Cheese were matched with wine from Vin
de Pays, Long Beach’s premiere wine collection
at a lovely tasting event hosted at We Olive at
4725 E. 2nd St Long Beach.
The peppery, sharp sweet Blu del Monceniso from
the rich Itanlian/French border farmlands was
delightfully paired with a robust rosato, Forte
Canto Negramorio Salento Rosado and topped with
a light fruity Evoo olive oil from our native
California Stockton area.
The tasting progressed with Scamorza, Pecorino
Toscano and La Tur cheeses mated with Bosco
Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, Montresor ‘Capitel
della Crosara’ and Ruggeri Prosecco Argeo Brut
wines all matched to complimentary ‘We Olive’
olive oil specialties.
We Olive’s Tuscana-Bozzano Olive Ranch, with its
medium pepper finish was a thrill, only to be
matched by We Olive’s Pasolivo, bold, lush,
peppery robust oil.
The final olive delight of the evening was the
We Olive Meyer Lemon oil that We Olive customers
may purchase from the vat at the store. All
Olive oils are fresh and native California
products. Since Olive oil is best fresh, it’s an
advantage that it grows so plentifully in our
native state.
We Olive patrons may return repeatedly to the
store to fill their recycled We Olive glass
bottle with more oil, an extra Green feature
that confirms the olive store chain ‘s
environmental consciousness and respect for the
planet.
We Olive Host and Hostess for the evening events
are Debby Glasgow and her business partner and
soon-to-be husband Phil Brooks.
Debby, an Orange County School of Performing
Arts dance student, who later operated her own
dance studio in Los Alamitos, now dedicates
herself to cultivating the clientele for the
Belmont Shore branch of We Olive. Phil, a
native of South Africa, joined forces with Debby
in their fledging We Olive business that
celebrates its 8th month at the 4725 E. 2nd St.
location.
