Once upon a time The Restaurant at Ponte Winery began serving guests a house-made oil with their bread baskets. The guests liked it. The guests asked for seconds. Eventually, the guests asked if they could take some home. And so, Ponte’s bottled Scallion Dipping Oil was born.
Each bottle is made from fresh green onions, canola oil, white wine vinegar, garlic and shallots. While we’re convinced one could make a meal out of a bottle, a baguette and 2010 Viognier, Scallion Oil is an excellent marinade to chicken, white fish, scallops, shrimp and vegetables. Don’t count it out as a salad dressing and sandwich topper either. Yes, we still serve it with our focaccia bread at The Restaurant (we’re pretty sure guests would revolt if we ever took it away), so come try it out for yourself. If you like it like we think you will, mosey on in to the Marketplace and pick up a bottle or twelve.
Can’t make it to Ponte? No problem, you can find it in our Online Store. And, by the way, there couldn’t be a better time to order: as Ponte’s featured product this month, it is 30% off for Wine Club Members and 10% off for non-Wine Club Members through March.
–Have you tried our Scallion Oil? If so, how do you use it?
