Texas olive oilLo! After lunch with a friend today, I popped into Central Market (Central location) to pick up some ingredients for dinner. Cruising from produce to cheese, I made the requisite stop at the olive-oil sampling display and could hardly believe my eyes — elusive Texas olive oil, right there at the grocery store! A staffer I questioned said it had just arrived in the store this past weekend. The sign I didn’t get in the picture marks this an “exclusive” — available only at Central Market. From Texas Olive Ranch in Carrizo Springs, it’s extra-virgin, cold-pressed, and unfiltered, so it looks cloudy in the bottle. Maybe we’ll find even more Texas olive oils around town soon. According to the Texas Olive Oil Council, the industry in our state is new, but expanding. Huzzah!
