Everyday EVOO Gifting Set: How to Serve It at a Dinner Party

Everyday EVOO Gifting Set: How to Serve It at a Dinner Party

Put all three bottles to work: one for cooking, one for finishing at the table, and one bagged as a host gift. Simple serving and tasting tips included.

A three-bottle set that works as hard as you do

The Everyday EVOO Gifting Set is built for giving, but it’s just as useful when you’re the one hosting. You get three bottles of Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil and three chic white Kosterina gift bags. That means one set can cover your dinner-party oil needs and leave you with a ready-to-go host gift for your next invitation.

Here’s how to put all three bottles to work without overcomplicating the menu.

What’s in the box

  • Everyday EVOO Gifting Set (3 Bottles): The set includes three bottles of Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil and three chic white Kosterina gift bags. Knowing the exact contents helps you plan whether to keep all three bottles for the dinner or set one aside as a gift.

Three bottles, three dinner-party jobs

  • Bottle 1: cooking oil: Use one bottle for roasting vegetables, sautéing, or making a vinaigrette. Keep it within arm’s reach while you prep.
  • Bottle 2: finishing oil: Set a second bottle on the table for drizzling over finished dishes—soup, grilled bread, or a simple salad. A small pour at the table lets guests taste the oil on its own terms.
  • Bottle 3: the gift bottle: Slide the third bottle into one of the included gift bags and set it aside for your host the next time you’re invited out. Or use it as a thank-you for a guest who helped make the evening happen.

How to serve extra virgin olive oil at the table

You don’t need a formal tasting to make olive oil part of the meal. A simple table setup is enough: put the finishing bottle within reach, add small plates for dipping, and let guests pour their own. If you want to guide them, suggest they try a small spoonful before drizzling it on food—this is the easiest way to start an olive oil tasting at home.

For a more structured moment, pour a small amount into shallow bowls and serve alongside bread or raw vegetables before the main course. The goal is to let the oil be tasted, not just used as a background ingredient.

Pairing the set with a simple dinner-party menu

  • Starter: Set out the finishing bottle with crusty bread and a small dish of olive oil for dipping. Guests can pour their own and taste the oil before the meal begins.
  • Main course: Use the cooking bottle to roast vegetables or finish a simple pasta. Keep the finishing bottle on the table for a last drizzle.
  • Take-home gift: If you’re giving the set as a host gift, bring all three bottles in their gift bags. The recipient can use one for cooking, one for finishing, and one for their own gifting.

Host-gift ideas that go beyond wine

The Everyday EVOO Gifting Set is designed as a host gift that’s a welcome change from gifting wine. Because it comes with three bottles and three gift bags, it’s multiple gifts in one: you can give the whole set to one host, or split it into three separate thank-yous. That flexibility makes it a practical choice for dinner-party season, when you might need several small gifts in a short span.

Why this set suits dinner-party gifting

  • Everyday EVOO Gifting Set (3 Bottles): EVOO is described as a perfect host gift, a thoughtful thank you gift, and a welcome change from gifting wine. It confirms the set is intended for gifting occasions, so you can feel confident bringing it to a dinner party or using it as a thank-you.

What the catalog doesn’t tell you

The supplied product information doesn’t include specific storage instructions, shelf-life details, or allergen statements for this set. If you need that information—for example, to confirm whether the oil is suitable for a guest with allergies—check the bottle label or contact the store directly. The catalog also doesn’t specify recommended serving sizes, so pour according to your own menu and taste.
