Olive oil is what makes a kitchen a kitchen, and a meal a meal. It's the foundation as well as the perfect finish for all gatherings and dishes. We dip, drizzle, and even soak in olive oil. It is the base of the Mediterranean diet, a secret beauty elixir, and as Wonder Valley mentions, "the Greeks bathed in it, Roman kings were crowned in it, and for centuries life was illuminated by olive oil."

Heather has a talent for making guests feel instantly at ease and her collection is an extension of that sensibility. We recently chatted about inspired palettes, hosting go - to's and of course, gifting.
