Dirty Olive Oil Martini

July 2, 2026

It's always cocktail season in Carmel Valley Village... especially when the sun is shining and our pantry doubles as your bar cart! Do you think we only sell incredible California extra virgin olive oils and artisanal balsamics? Think again! Our olive oils and vinegars make some of the most spectacular craft cocktails you've ever tasted! Marc and I had WAY too much fun playing mixologist and creating these recipes (don't worry... someone had to taste test them! ©). They're perfect for summer entertaining, date nights on the patio, or simply celebrating that it's another beautiful day in Carmel Valley.

The bubbles make the blueberry balsamic really pop!

Pickled Blueberries

June 29, 2026

Created especially for the Quail & Olive by Culinary Cam / Camilla M. Mann, www.culinarycam.com

I have been pickling blueberries for years. I love that it's unexpected and a delightful mix of sweet and sour! Because the Blueberry Balsamic has its own sweetness, I do not add any sugar to the pickling brine

Panna Cotta with Balsamic Blueberries

June 29, 2026

Created for the Quail and Olive by Culinary Cam / Camilla M. Mann, www.culinarycam.com

I find myself making panna cotta frequently. Probably because it's flexible. I've made Espresso Panna Cotta, Cardamom Panna Cotta, Salted Juniper-Dark Chocolate Panna Cotta, and Matcha Panna Cotta. It's so easy to get creative. So, I figured it would be a good starting point for a blueberry dessert. Desserts that have both sweet and savory aspects are my favorite. I drew inspiration for this from a new product in the shop: Blueberry Balsamic. It is just as dreamy as it sounds!

Lamb with Blackberry Red Pepper Vinegar Reduction

June 18, 2026

Made exclusively for The Quial and Olive by Culinary Cam / Camilla M. Mann, www.culinarycam.com

You can use any kind of vinegar in the reduction, but I paired fresh blackberries with the Blackberry Red Pepper Vinegar in this version. Also, I have used this same process with lamb, venison, and bison; use whatever you have.

Olive Oil Braised Leeks with Summer Truffles

May 12, 2026

I have been making this recipe for years with butter. I tried it with the Butter Flavor Olive Oil, White Truffle Oil, and the jarred Summer truffle in the pantry section of the shop, and it completely elevated the dish. This is heavenly!
