There are just a couple of turns and a few miles to our next destination. Since our only natural trees in the Antelope Valley are Joshua trees, which are sort of cactus-y looking succulents, we were really enjoying the beautiful large trees arching over the road on our way to Pasolivo, our favorite olive oil tasting room and olive press.
In the tasting room, you can grab a packet of sourdough bread cubes and sample any of the olive oils. You can also take a short tour in the same building to see how the olive oils are made.
My very favorite Pasolivo olive oil is the Meyer Lemon flavored, but there was a new Citrus blend here this time that we hadn't tried before; of course, we had to have some of that! There is a printed brochure that you can take that has several suggestions for how to use olive oil as well as advice on how to care for your olive oil and a recipe.
We bought a large bottle of the Citrus, two small of the Lemon because they were out of the large (and I really go through it!), a jar of olives and a couple of bottles of wine vinegar. We had these packed in a few small bags so we could work things in around the cases of wine in the trunk....
I took this picture outside the tasting room.....
....and then we were off to our next stop -- lunch!
