You know when I say, “your best extra virgin olive oil?” THIS IS WHAT I MEAN.
Bev’s corner of the internet – meet Valèvida. Valèvida, meet Bev’s corner of the internet. You two will adore each other.
I had the pleasure of receiving a gifted bottle (at random!) from a friend of mine here in town a few months ago. Which lead me to reach out to the brand because I obviously fell in love. And get this, the brand is actually local to Kansas City, and Johanna (the owner) and I became fast friends and I basically need you all to know about this oil. Gah! It is PHENOM.
This is the thing, you can cook with it, use it as a finishing oil, drizzle last second, fry your eggs in it, it all works. It’s an extra virgin olive from SPAIN, so it has a flavor quality like nothing you’ve had. Absolutely delicious.

Two things I’d like to tell you now.
The first is that I’m going to be co-hosting an event on Saturday September 26th at a local restaurant from 3-5pm with Johanna and Jo Marie. It will be a ticketed event, but oh so totally and completely worth it. You’ll receive a bottle of the oil, spend two hours with fantastic women, hear a gifted nutritionist speak about the benefits of the extra virgin olive oil, and how it plays a big part in women’s health, especially during the perimenopause era. (hold me) And we’ll have a beautiful butternut squash soup with fresh local bread. It’s going to be amazing and educating and I’m crazy excited to share more of the details with you all next week, with a ticket link for those locally interested!
SECOND THING is that I have an actual shop link for you all today with a discount code! Okay, here are those details:
The code is BEVCOOKS, which will get you 5% off a $39.99 minimum purchase (which is the price of one 500ml bottle — you can also mix and match smaller sizes to hit the minimum). As a bonus, anyone who uses the code also gets a short digital guide that will be emailed directly to you with the receipt! I’ve seen the guide, it’s so cute. I do need to say this is U.S. shipping only at this point. Right now the code will be live all the way through September, so jump on it!

I have been obsessed with this extra virgin olive oil the moment I tasted it. It’s special, vibrant, nourishing, and come on, that bottle is the most stylish thing I’ve ever seen.
A couple of recipes that I’ve used the oil on is this Chicken, Tomato and Rice Bake. WOW. It just wakes it all up at the end. Also, it shiiiiines on this Pan Con Tomate. I beg you to try it out.
That’s what I have for today. More info on the event next week, and again, here’s the link for you those only able to online shop! If you are a lover of “the good oil” – I welcome you to the rest of your life. Code is BEVCOOKS. Giddy up!
