14 SAVOUR MANITOBA | SPRING 24

"Our bottle reuse program
has always been a big part of our
business," Hogue says. "We built each
location with that in mind and have
invested in equipment to ensure
we're able to continue on."
rough this program, customers
can bring back their empty Frescolio
bottles without even having to wash
them. All three locations will accept
250 ml, 375 ml and 750 ml Frescolio
bottles.
en when customers buy oil or
vinegar, Hogue and her team transfer
the product from stainless steel
containers called "fustis" directly to
a fresh Frescolio bottle that is tightly
sealed on site for optimal freshness.
"We give them $1 back for each
bottle that is returned, then sanitize
and re-introduce them into our
inventory," Hogue says.
"Our family is committed to
reducing waste, and our customers
have wholeheartedly embraced this
practice as eco-conscious consumers
themselves."
Fig Dark
Balsamic
Vinegar
is beautiful fruit-
fused vinegar has
everything you would
expect from ripe
Italian figs blended
with traditional
18-year aged dark
balsamic base: sweet,
sour and jammy notes
of red fruit, ripe Italian
fig and a hint of plum.
