Green Goddess is our hymn to the garden. The soap wakes up all the nooks and crannies of our bodies, and the candle tickles a part of your nose you forgot existed. They’re difficult products to describe because they’re the most alive things we make, filled with the best souvenirs from the garden: Basil, Mint, Rosemary, and Ginger. It’s not easy being green. x Richard

Just got the film back from the NYC book tour last week…some great meals on the run (never leave home without your own olive oil). I learned that our lavender water is great for NYC cabs. And that our travel set is a life saver for a red-eye. Thank you to friends at The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel for finding me a room at the inn. New Stop is New Zealand. See you tomorrow Auckland!

These are my Everest Bells, one of the personal objects we are selling in The Great Estate Sale (on our website now). They were the only things I bought while walking down from Base Camp to Namche Bazaar, and they have been hanging in the goat shed at Flamingo Estate ever since. The bells are traditionally worn around the necks of dzo, a cross between a yak and domestic cattle, used to carry supplies along the lower trails of the Khumbu. Bigger and stronger than cattle, dzo are better suited to the warmer, lower altitudes. Higher up, toward Base Camp, they give way to pure yaks, built for the cold and thin air. Beyond Base Camp, no animals go at all, and everything is carried by Sherpas and porters. Cast in bronze, the bells are traditionally made by metalworkers in Nepal, including Newar craftsmen of the Kathmandu Valley. Inside hangs a clapper made from horn, while the bells themselves are suspended from thick straps woven from yak hair. On the trail, you hear them before you see them. A small piece of Everest that has lived at Flamingo ever since. X Richard

Ori Menashe loves his olive oil.
This is the final week of our month of curation by Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis, the Chefs behind Bestia Restaurant Bavel Restaurant and Saffy’s and we were so lucky to have them.
This week’s box is a beautiful balance of the last flavors of summer and the first flavors of fall, with Japanese eggplant, Flavor Fall plums, Fuji apples, and Sweet Dumpling squash.
The box also includes a trio of bagels from courage bagels a signed copy of the Bavel cookbook by Chefs Ori and Genevieve, and a jar of olives marinated by the chefs.
It’s an amazing box and a lovely way to close out an incredible month with two of Los Angeles’ finest.

Our friends Chefs Aaron Lindell and Hannah Ziskin of Quarter Sheets, one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants, made an incredible summer truffle and sweet corn pizza with pickled torpedo onion, finished with our White Truffle Olive Oil. The savory boost from the truffle oil provides a beautiful contrast to the sweet corn and pickled onion. We took our signature olive oil and infused it with Alba white truffle until deeply perfumed and decadent. Perfect to drizzle on pizza, pasta, or anything that could use a flavor boost. It’s our savory secret weapon. X Richard
