- Our mission is to create memorable experiences.
Welcome to sweater weather, where comfort food gets a gourmet upgrade.
This month’s Bodacious pairing brings together earthy, aromatic Mushroom & Sage Infused Olive Oil with the sweet-heat kick of Habanero & Honey Vinegar—a match made in autumn heaven.
Our featured recipe, Split Roasted Hasselback-Style Squash, is the kind of dish that earns a standing ovation (or at least a second helping). The squash is tender, caramelized, and sliced Hasselback-style to soak up every drop of that Bodacious glaze. It’s beautiful on the plate and even better on your fork.
Mushroom & Sage Infused Olive Oil
This oil is a cozy hug in a bottle—delicate porcini mushrooms and fresh-picked sage combine to create a savory, balanced flavor that elevates everything from roasted vegetables to risottos.
Habanero & Honey Vinegar
Sweet meets spicy with this complex balsamic that brings just enough fire to brighten fall flavors. Its subtle heat pairs perfectly with root vegetables, grilled meats, or even drizzled over fresh fruit.

Add to vinaigrettes and stir-frys for a subtle kick
Drizzle over pineapple or watermelon for a sweet-heat surprise
Use in quick-pickled vegetables for extra zing
