Lucini Italia Company Review & Giveaway ~ 5 winners ~4/18 CLOSED

Over a few days ago I sampled Lucini Italia products, Tuscan Basil-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 10-Year Gran Riserva Balsamico.
I love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. i also love replicating/recreating dishes i see on cooking shows, magazines and certain food hubby and i enjoyed eating at the restaurants. We both love salads, green-tossed salad, macaroni, tuna and the list goes on and on.When it comes to vegetable salad we always prefer Italian Dressing over Ranch. That is why extra virgin olive oil is a staple in my kitchen.

I received 2 bottles each of Tuscan Basil-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Inspired by the sweet garden herb most associated with Tuscan cooking, this extra virgin olive oil is made using only the most cared-for olives and 100% natural essential oil extracted from fresh basil. Use to add aromatic flavor to sautés or egg dishes, such as omelettes or frittatas. Drizzle over tomatoes, caprese salad or toasted bread.

Lucini Italia is proud to be the first to combine high quality extra virgin olive oil with the pure extracts of the plant in the fields. Lucini Italia does not use synthetic flavors or low quality oils.

And 10-Year Gran Riserva Balsamico - (Balsamic Vinegar of Modena) This extraordinary artisan Balsamico is produced and bottled on a single estate in the Modena region of Italy. Made exclusively from hand-harvested Trebbiano grapes, the "must" is aged for 10 years under careful, expert supervision in heirloom wood casks made of oak, juniper, cherry, mulberry, and chestnut. Lucini Italia adds no sugar, color or grape concentrate for a natural aging process that ensures balanced, fully rounded flavor and aroma with layers of complexity. This fine vinegar can be enjoyed as a cheese course drizzled over Parmigiano Reggiano, on baby greens, on an Insalate Caprese (mozzarella, tomato and basil), in risotto, in reductions for meat and poultry, over strawberries...and anywhere you enjoy balsamic vinegar. It’s a delight!

Lucini Italia Vinegar starts from grapes that are grown, harvested, aged and bottled on a single estate located in Modena, Italy and are all guaranteed lead free.

Lucini Italia products from EVOO, Balsamic vinegars to soups, sauces and ready made vinaigrettes are available on their website or at leading retailers like Walmart, Target & Whole Foods nationwide.

Thanks to Ms. Meagan P. of Lucini Italia who generously provided a bottle each of Tuscan Basil-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil & 10-Year Gran Riserva Balsamico to 5 lucky winners!
