What is Batistini Farms?

Batistini Farms is a family-operated and owned company. And I might be a little biased here, since it's my family's business, BUT that just means I know all their secrets. 😉 So when I say they provide only the most authentic Italian products, I mean it! They work endless hours with generations-old family farmers in Italy to source only the finest quality Italian products.

They offer award-winning extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegars, ancient Tuscan grain pastas, herb seasonings, olives, and more!

‍

What makes their 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oils different?

Every single olive oil is handcrafted from fresh organic olives and cold extracted within 24 hours of harvest. The olives are grown in rich soil, sustainable farming practices, and pruning techniques that yield thriving terroir from their family estate olive grove.

• It is the most fresh olive oil you'll ever taste! Always the most recent harvest date.
• They provide a dark bottle to keep the olive oil from spoiling.
• In every bottle, you'll be able to explore the fruitiness, green leaves, almonds, herbs, etc. with a bittersweet tingling piquant finish that is signature to a true 100% extra virgin olive oil.

What is the secret to perfect chocolate chip cookies?

• MY BIGGEST TIP: Tap the pan on the stovetop halfway through baking to interrupt the "rising" process. Then, repeat the process after baking for that perfect crinkle top effect!
• Using parchment paper or silicone baking mat to help the cookies spread more easily and create that perfect 'bottom.'
• Do not overbake. It is better too underbake.
• Using more brown sugar than white sugar for a moister, softer cookie.
• Adding an extra egg yolk can also increase chewiness.

‍

How to store leftover chocolate chip cookies?

Let the cookies completely cool, then store at room temperature in an air-tight container, like Tupperware or ziplock bags.

The should last about 5 days at room temperature, or 7 days in then fridge.

To mimic the "fresh out of the oven" texture, just reheat at 350F for a few minutes!
