Greetings from Fat Gold:
The San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times agree: Fat Gold makes a great gift!
We were delighted to be included in the 2024 Chronicle gift guide, and even more delighted to discover that we were one of the great Samin Nosrat’s picks, listed right up at the top.
Fat Gold was also featured in the New York Times Hannukah gift guide, where the editors wrote:
Any gift of good olive oil would be much appreciated on Hanukkah, but we are big fans of the California-made Fat Gold Standard Olive Oil, which Wirecutter’s kitchen-team tasters found to be “fresh and flavorful, and assertive.” Plus, you can’t beat the bold, colorful label and the sleek half-liter tin.
We also made another, subtler appearance in the NYT’s output: many friends on Instagram alerted us to a Fat Gold cameo in the background of this fun reel by Michael Sullivan.
If you find these recommendations compelling, the online shop is open for business:
Edible East Bay is published right here in our neighborhood, and this year’s big California olive oil feature is tremendous. There’s a cute illustrated guide to using the very freshest olive oil of the season, and then a full array of enticing ideas, ranging from muhamarra to fruit carpaccio to an olive oil martini.
It’s a super solid spread, and we encourage you to check it out. We’ll also take this opportunity to direct you to our own Recipe Stockpile, which leans towards the simple and everyday.
An advisory for large-scale gift-givers:
If you are looking to purchase 6+ tins of super fresh Fat Gold Standard or Fat Gold Blue for gift-giving purposes, just reach out (simply reply to this email) and we’ll get you set up with a custom order.
Again, here’s our holiday schedule:
-
December 16 is the last day to purchase an annual subscription that begins with the December batch. (Annual subscriptions purchased after December 16 will begin with the March batch.)
-
December 20 is the last day to place an order in our online shop that will ship before the holidays.
-
Orders placed after December 20 will be shipped the week of December 30.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out—you can simply reply to this email.
Now, we turn to packing the fresh December batch for annual subscribers, which will start to ship later this week. Seven days remain to claim one of these spots for someone you love—or for yourself.
Happy holidays! Thanks for following along!
—Robin, Kathryn, and Bryan
