Emile Henry Oil Cruet
I love this beautiful olive green oil cruet from Emile Henry. Isn't is simply gorgeous? It's a perfect color, don’t you think? I am all about food and color trends!
Emile Henry was founded in 1850 in a small town in the province of Burgundy, France. It is a company known for its fine quality ceramic ovenware. And, as you might know, the wine in this region is pretty wonderful too!
I love making oil blends to use during the week. This week's oil blend, roasted garlic and rosemary, was seriously divine. (I am married to an Italian so I know about garlic — my husband can’t get enough of the stuff!)
Rosemary adds a nice flavor to complement the garlic, not to mention that roasted garlic oil smells so delicious in the oven. In fact, my house smells like Italy today!
I tossed about 1 1/2 cups of olive oil, 10 garlic cloves and a sprig of fresh rosemary in a small casserole dish and roasted in the oven for about 30 minutes. I let the oil cool a bit and then added to my new cruet.
I like serving oil in a cruet as it drizzles out rather than pouring too rapidly — keeping portions under control. This Emile Henry oil cruet is my new favorite kitchen gadget: love it!
