Every year, we take a winter ski vacation.

We didn’t expect our 2009 trip to change our lives, but that is exactly what happened.

We decided to take a break from skiing and spent an afternoon visiting area shops. One in particular caught our attention. It was a newly opened oil and vinegar shop. Stepping inside opened the door to a new opportunity. As we browsed the shop, our interest and excitement grew. When we stepped outside onto the sidewalk, we were both lost in thought. As we began to talk, the ideas took shape. We could do this. Our community would embrace this. We’ve been planning and talking ever since. All the pieces have fallen into place. This spring, we start a new adventure together. We love good food and good wine.

 

We love to cook. For us, food is a shared passion. Our relationship has grown stronger working side by side in the kitchen. We have learned that food is something to be shared. There is something intimate about cooking and eating together that inspires us.

 

Quite simply, it’s that inspiration we hope people will find when they visit Green Gate Olive Oils.

Arbequina (Califorina)
Award-Winning Gold Medal Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Arbequina olives have become very popular with farmers over the past few years because of the sweet olive oil they produce. We have found what we believe is the best Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil available. Professional tasters agree, as this oil was voted the best in Spain (the home of the Arbequina olive) by the Ministry of Agriculture. Note: Green Apple, Hints of Almond and a long, slight peppery finish. see full list here...

Basil
This oil has a beautiful, fresh, green herb taste. Basil and olive oil are two important ingredients in Mediterranean cooking, and it was just obvious to us that the two fused would be wonderful. Note: Try it on a summer salad or caprice and let your taste buds travel to the shores of the Mediterranean. see full list here...

Black Cherry Balsamic Vinegar
Rich and sweet natural black cherry juice is combined with aged Balsamic Vinegar to produce a sweet, fragrant and very rich tasting product that has garnered rave reviews from our gourmet customers. This balsamic has character and will complement spring mix salad and more flavorful accompaniments. Note: The black cherry flavor is an ideal accompaniment to salads that feature cheeses, especially the more tart Feta, Goat and Blue varieties. It is delicious over Orange and Onion Sicilian Salad. It will pair with all of our EVOO’s, but will shine with the lighter varieties of Orange or Lemon Olive Oils.see full list here...

History
In 1895, philanthropist James W. Tufts purchased 5,800 acres of desolate, sandy land in the Sandhills region of North Carolina. Once a beautiful pine forest, the land had been ravaged as trees were harvested to be used for building materials and in the production turpentine. Tufts saw potential in the devastated landscape. He envisioned creating a retreat where middle-class Americans could recuperate from the ailments of the time. His plans included the creation of a New England-style village that would be green year-round and easily accessible by winding walkways.

Today, more than 100 years later, The Village of Pinehurst continues to provide visitors and residents with an escape from the hustle and bustle. Stepping into the Village can seem like meandering through the pages of a history book. It’s charm and beauty are at once captivating and nurturing
