Sparkling cont. Frescolio cont.
Fig Dark Balsamic Vinegar This 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.
“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.” Through 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. Then 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.”
