Olivia’s Crutons: Butter and Garlic… and Good

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Olivia’s Crutons is a lovely family-based company that churns out some seriously delicious crutons.

I tried the Butter and Garlic flavor which is what first brought Olivia’s fame.

In the gourmet food product world, a Sofi Award of the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT) is the gold standard.  See that little Oscar-looking guy in the corner of the photo above?  Yeah, Oliva’s got a Sofi Award.

But back to how good these crutons are:  they’re large, buttery, fresh, and perfectly crunchy (no threat of molar chippage). They are made from organic ingredients and not many of them: pretty much just bread, butter and herbs. No preservatives.

Perfect on salads or just out of the box.  (Did I just admit that? :/ )

Thanks to Phil and Alex for arranging the sample.  Check out Olivia’s website for recipes and the touching company story.
