Where it all began…
In 2014 we went to Italy for 23 days. I had always dreamed of going to Italy and my husband helped make the dream come true.
While we were over there we ate pasta every day and had gelato at least once a day. We didn’t worry about what we were eating because when in Italy – do as the Italians do. We walked a lot while going to see all the sights so we did get a lot of exercise. We both felt really good over there and had so much energy! I have chronic back and knee pain and over there I had none of it and I didn’t hesitate to go up and down the steps that were everywhere. It was a very mind-opening experience for me as I had never been in Europe. I could not get over how great I felt.
We visited Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, and even went to Sicily for a week. We had the time of our life and ate so much wonderful food. Something that surprised us both was the fact there is no such thing as salad dressing over there, they give you bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We also used it on pasta and to dip our bread – we had it a couple of times a day.
When we came back home – we both weighed less than when we went. It is my believe that the quality of food is so much better there and none of their food is prepackaged or has preservatives like our food does here in the states. But also we ate olive oil and balsamic vinegar every day and I feel like that had an impact too. We’ve all heard of the Mediterranean Diet – I truly believe there is something to it because we felt so healthy while we were over there and had so much more energy.
Around the time we got back from that trip is when the little Olive Oil tasting shops started popping up. We went into every Olive Oil shop we found. I wanted to learn more and taste more. I would always buy from them and I’d look at their websites and I just felt like something was lacking. They didn’t teach people about the health benefits or show you how to incorporate olive oil and balsamic vinegars into their customer’s everyday lives. That is what our mission is – to not only allow people to taste the products but to provide recipes using the products as well as teaching about the benefits.
I am so pleased to be selling quality products that are organic and follow strict regulations. What makes me even happier is that I can teach people about wellness – things that have worked for me and helped me to feel better. A lot of things I have tried have not worked but many things have worked and I am happy to share my experiences with you. I’m also excited to get out and meet people at fairs and festivals in and around North Carolina. Hopefully we will see you soon!

Mission
Our mission is to provide wellness products and education on eating healthier. It’s not enough to sell you gourmet products, anyone can do that! We want to show you how to use them in everyday cooking so you really benefit from using them. Olive oil and Balsamic vinegar are ingredients used in the Mediterranean Diet because they actually improve our health the more we consume them. Pick up any Mediterranean cookbook and you will find pages of recipes calling for these two ingredients.
The dream of starting this venture began in Italy…literally! We were there for almost a month in 2014. We both felt amazing while we were there and got more exercise than ever before and had so much energy! Then we came home….
That is when my research started and I began experimenting with my cooking to incorporate more olive oil and balsamic vinegar into our everyday cooking.
I am not a gourmet cook but I love to use gourmet products. Let us show you how to incorporate these products into your cooking. Eat your way to wellness with Moxie Mom.
