Olive oil & vinegar tasting bar for the healthy holiday treat

Tucked away in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC is a little shop call the Tree & Vine https://www.thetreeandvine.com/ . I found this shop while on vacation this summer and was delighted to rediscover an old favorite of mine. A fat burning overview can help you produce a clear describe of what you require to focus on to accomplish your fat reducing goal if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an intermediate or more boost stage of their losing weight program. Following are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your personal weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss courses have misled people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by leading to a person's body to reduce more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Balsamic vinegar and olive oil! There are so many wonderful benefits to both and they fit wonderfully in a healthy lifestyle. The intrinsic beauty and simplicity of oil and vinegar is enough to delight the palate and liven up a salad. Imagine my delight when I found a similar shop right here in Fort Wayne, Indiana! I was ecstatic to find The Olive Twist http://www.theolivetwist.com/ , in the Covington Plaza, at 6410 W. 6410 W. Jefferson Blvd., Fort Wayne. From the moment you walk in the door you are surrounded by that old world Tuscan atmosphere with large steel drums of aged vinegars and oils. Be prepared to taste and explore some new ideas for incorporating vinegars and oils into your menu. With recipe cards free for the taking and tasting cards to help you score your favorites as you explore. Imagine a poached pear with chocolate infused balsamic vinegar, so simple, yet so elegant.

Balsamic is aromatic, aged vinegar from the concentrated juice, of white grapes (wine grapes). Its distinct color and taste is a product of years of aging in a successive number of barrel made of various types of wood (including oak, mulberry, chestnut, cherry, juniper, ash, and acacia). The process of becoming vinegar occurs in wooden barrels. As the volume decreases through evaporation over period of years the maturing liquor is transferred to smaller and smaller barrels, each with its special blend of aromatic flavoring woods. The barrels are placed in the attic for ideal temperatures, hot in summer, cold in winter. Over years of aging finest Balsamic emerges.

Health Benefits:

• Balsamic has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties which make it an effective remedy for treating infections and wounds.
• Balsamic vinegar contains powerful antioxidant called polyphenols which fight cell damage and boost our immune system.
• The antioxidant in balsamic have also the potential to protect against heart disease, cancer, and other inflammatory conditions.

• Balsamic reduces the frequency of headaches.
