March is one of those months where the sun feels like summer and the wind feels like winter, and probably one of my least favorite months… BUT what I keep repeating in my head -- one step into March is one step closer to SUMMER! The Winkler gals were busy during February, helping our customers celebrate the day of love, stocking up on our new 'plain' White Balsamic (it's called Bianco White Balsamic, which is kind of redundant, but you’ve gotta try it!), and helping new customers dip into some of our delicious recipes with a private tasting! A mom's group...

We felt so supported on Jan. 27 as we celebrated our incredible customers. From delicious appetizers, deals on oils and vinegars, and scrumptious cinnamon buns from The Olive Tree, we hope you enjoyed our Customer Appreciation Day as much as we did! Also, if you haven’t tried The Olive Tree’s cinnamon buns, you MUST – they are incredible! Congratulations to Della Friesen who won our $100 prize pack! Our amazing customers even go out of their way to share with us the wonderful ways they've been cooking. Just this week, a customer gave us a very interesting baking tip. She said growing up her...

Customer Appreciation Day was a success because of all our amazing customers! We really appreciate everyone that came out to help us celebrate 5 years in business! What stole the show that day was certainly the food! My word! The Maple Baked Beans we cooked up were a hit with the crowd (find the recipe here). And Old Church Bakery did an amazing job with the Maple Pecan Sticky Buns and Saskatoon Buns using our Maple Balsamic and Blueberry Balsamic. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed them. It was neat to hear customers commenting that they were surprised how much they enjoyed the Saskatoon bun -...

January means New Year's resolutions for many of us. Whether you believe in resolutions or not, making healthy changes in our lives doesn't have to be so hard. And when you come to Prairie Oils & Vinegars, you are guaranteed to add health and FLAVOUR to your diet. Happy New Year, everyone!

365 new days, 365 new chances and opportunities to try a new recipe with your oils and vinegars! I just love the beginning of the year. A total fresh start, with new goals and dreams. As I wrote down some of my goals for 2018, I found myself jotting down “be more adventurous with my cooking." I think its time to put my go-to meal, Tuscan chicken, aside for a while, and try some recipes from our new Greece Cookbook! Maybe it's time to try making pastitsio? Or stop purchasing my hummus and try making it with our Garlic Olive...

Introducing new flavours and products at Prairie Oils & Vinegars! This Christmas, Santa's sleigh seems to have spilled over and we have so many new goodies to share with you, we had to give a whole news article devoted to introducing them to you. NEW Mint Agrumato Olive Oil - Aromatic, true-to-herb and oh so fresh! This all-natural, mint agrumato EVOO is produced by crushing the olives and mint leaves simultaneously in the same press without the use of any added essences. This process allows for the essential oils from the plant to harmonize with the oil from fresh Frantoio olives. The aroma...

November was a blur of excitement, gift packs and wonderful customers. We experienced Italy, we learnt how to say ‘Charcuterie’ (shahr-koo-tuh-ree) and brought out our beautiful Christmas gift packs at our annual event, Sneak Peek to Christmas! The evening was filled with bubbly customers looking to get their Christmas shopping done. Everyone got to taste some delicious appetizers from the cookbooks we feature in our store, like our amazingly sweet Apple Cider (made with our Cinnamon Pear Balsamic... you have to try it!). We partnered with our lovely next-door neighbours for this event, Pure Anada Cosmetics! And were able to feature...

Maybe you’re like me, and you always want to try something new, but nothing too crazy... If that’s the case – you would LOVE our Italian Cuisine Cooking Class that we’re hosting on Nov. 27! We will be exploring everything from classic Italian dishes, to delicious salads and desserts. Our class is filling up very fast – call to reserve your spot today!
