This year Pasquale Brothers is celebrating a milestone birthday.
We are 105 years old, with the 4th generation of the family at the helm. We would like to thank all of you … our customers, suppliers, colleagues, friends and family for all of your support. Many of you tell us of your own generational stories or being introduced to Pasquale Brothers through parents and grandparents as children.
We hope you are looking forward to all that spring brings … warmer weather (still in disbelief about GTA April 19 snowstorm!!), green grass, singing birds and spring flowers.
In-store Olive Oil Tastings
Spring also brings the arrival of new harvest of olive oil to Canada – it has been exciting to see the new harvest arrive in our shipping containers from Spain and Italy. Although many enjoy vintage cars and wines, when it comes to extra virgin olive oil, the fresher and younger the better.
Due to covid we are not yet reinstating our popular tasting open houses in our warehouse, however we would like to provide you an opportunity to safely taste this season’s new olive oils in our Etobicoke store. Similar to wines, olive oils have a vast array of aromas and tastes that are best assessed through side-by-side tastings to discern bitter, sweet, peppery, or buttery flavors … and aromas of green apple, bananas, hay, herbs etc.
We’ll share some fun facts about our producers and their extraction processes and what makes these oils special. Please visit us at our shop in Etobicoke where we have the new harvest olive oils for you to try. We look forward to leading you through a tutored tasting so you can choose the oil that best suits your purpose and palate.
As an importer, it is our privilege to be a supplier to many of GTA’s fine restaurants, hotels, shops and clubs. For Chef Carlos Ventura at Campo Restaurant (244 Jane St., Toronto), Molino Condesa Arbequina is his finishing oil of choice. Campo serves simple and rustic food, inspired by Italian and Spanish cuisines.
“I never forget to put olive oil on anything!” -Chef Carlos, Campo Restaurant
In gratitude of our great customers and in celebration of our birthday, each month this year we are drawing one lucky winner for a basket of gourmet food. We draw from our list of newsletter subscribers … so you are already in the draw! Congratulations to our first four monthly winners this year.
