Celebrate Thanksgiving with these Family Owned Businesses
This Thanksgiving season, let’s give back to the small business and support family owned companies. Whether you’re cooking at home, or looking for the perfect hostess gift, the following nine products fit the bill! We even have activities to keep the kids busy!
TRE OLIVE's centuries-old Italian olive tree groves are the source for the most lovely and authentic gift ideas. From the adoption of one of their trees to beautiful gift boxes and soaps, everything is harvested by an Italian family brand that has been in the olive oil business for five generations. The Piattino Gift Box is a perfect gift for the hostess as it contains one 250ml tin of extra virgin olive oil (your choice of which scrumptious one to choose!) along with a tasting dish and TRE Olive's famous spice pack - add your favorite loaf of bread and you’ve got a tasty gift that can be used immediately.
Price: $15.00+
Macarons always make for a lovely and delicious hostess gift! Owned by mother-daughter team Finia Jahangard and Nina Chteoui, these macarons not only have individualized flavored shells, but fillings that are unique in texture and consistency. Enjoy the crunch and the chewy? You will favor the buttercream fillings that leave the shells texture intact and cookie-like. They only use Italian buttercream, which is notoriously difficult to work with, but the Queen and her royal subjects have absolutely perfected the technique, temperature and texture. Want more of a melt in your mouth sensation? Sink your teeth into one of the cheesecake flavors that starts with that signature macaron crunch but ends with a chewy, creamy almost brownie-like consistency. Added bonus, these craveable cookies are Gluten and GMO free! Get them by the curated set, limited releases or À La Carte!
PureWine™ Inc. was founded in 2014 by father and son team, Dr. David Meadows and his son Derek. Both suffered from headaches and other allergic reactions related to their favorite wines. Instead of “whining” about their problems, they turned to the science of wine to create purifiers that selectively remove histamines and sulfites without otherwise changing the chemistry of wine. In 2016, the duo launched the first PureWine™ product, The Wand™, for a glass of wine, followed in mid-2018 by The Wave® for a bottle of wine. Experiencing record growth in 2020, the brand’s latest innovation is The Phoenix® Reusable Wine Purifier introduced in 2021.
Stella Rosa is America’s favorite semi-sweet/sparkling wine. Created by the Riboli Family of San Antonio Winery, a Los Angeles establishment since 1917, the brand offers a selection of semi-sweet, semi-sparkling Italian wines. Among its impressive achievements are a 7x Impact Magazine Hot Brand award and its position as the #1 Italian import and the fastest-selling wine brand of the top 20 brands, according to Nielsen. Newly released single-serving, ready-to-drink cans are available in six of the newest flavors. You can’t help but Stellabrate good times with these delish concoctions!
