SUMMER CORN: THE PERFECT PREP WITH SIX GOURMET TOPPINGS

 THE TENDER, PERFECT BITE

Farm fresh corn, the essential taste of summer, is just around the corner. Start with full, heavy ears with tight, green husks, and glossy silk. Try not to open them since they will get old quickly. Then either boil bare cobs in salted water for five minutes or leave on the husks and grill on medium for fifteen to twenty minutes. If you're boiling your corn, for an "elote" finish you can place the corn on a hot grill for a minute or two for a charred touch. Fabulous finish. A classic butter finish? No need for butter. Use our Butter olive oil for an easy drizzle (no rolling) for a healthier corn on the cob.

The only thing more amazing than corn's sweet taste are more toppings. Especially toppings that don't require rolling in a stick of butter. Pour one of our healthy infused olive oils, then sprinkle our handmade Vancouver Island sea salts, add a bit of fresh grated parmesan, crumbled feta or vegan nutritional yeast flakes and you'll experience heaven. Whether you boil (our easy, quick preference) or grill, or cook in a butter-bath, corn-on-the-cob is summer's bounty on your table. Above feel free to mix n' match any one of our infused oils with our splendid sea salts. 

CREAMY CILANTRO OLIVE OIL WITH FRENCH SAFFRON SALT

The above image captures the simple idea that corn can be a brilliant addition to any summer menu. To allow the Saffron sea salt to shine, our Arbequina extra virgin olive oil is a perfect drizzle before adding a crunch of flavourful salt.
