    Fabulous gift!

    So glad I purchased this bundle. The cookbook is fantastic and full of great photos of the dishes. Love the olive oil especially the early harvest. Wish they came with a spigot for easier pouring but I added one of my own. My Turkish partner was so happy with this bundle.

    BOLD TASTY AND GREAT

    This olive oil is truly exceptional! From the moment you open the bottle, you can smell its fresh, fruity aroma that reminds me of walking through an olive grove. The flavor is smooth yet bold, with just the right hint of peppery finish that speaks to its high quality.

    I’ve used it in everything — drizzling over salads, finishing grilled vegetables, dipping fresh bread, and even in light cooking — and it elevates every dish. Unlike many oils on the market, this one tastes pure and authentic, without any heaviness.

    The packaging is also elegant and keeps the oil fresh, which I really appreciate. You can tell great care went into making this product from harvest to bottle.

    If you’re looking for true, high-quality olive oil, this one is an absolute must-have in your kitchen. I will definitely be reordering!

    Great Cook Book

    One of the greatest cookbooks I’ve found for Turkish food. It has recipes that my grandmother use to make that I can’t find anywhere else! Unfortunately she is no longer with us and her breadth of knowledge but this cook books brings me a little closer to home
