Thanks to Molly, a long time customer, for sharing her recipe for Nuts & Bolts Snack Mix using our olive oils, including the Orange Fused olive oil!! We’ve experimented with various combinations of olive oils, smoked salt & pepper (from Olive Us!) and they’re all so delicious it’s hard not to grab another hand full! Give it a try and create your own faves!!
