Fashionable Hostess | Amanda S. Gluck
Today, I wanted to share the sweetest DIY for personal olive oil jars. I always love dipping fresh bread into olive oil at restaurants, so I loved the idea of bringing this concept home. And what better way than to provide each guest with their own bottle to enjoy alongside fresh bakery bread and a dish of sea salt? These mini jars not only make for the perfect eye candy on your tabletop, but they also double as a fab take-home gift post-dinner.
To create these DIY jars, you need the following:
Mini glass jars with swing tops (here) – enough so each guest has their own. I bought a set of 12 and used eight.
A large bottle of olive oil (plan to fill each jar three-quarters of the way)
Fresh rosemary (one sprig per glass)
Sea salt (enough for each guest to be given a small dish)
Wooden cutting boards (one for each guest) to display the finished product
Directions
Begin by filling each of your jars halfway with olive oil. Next, trim your rosemary stalks so they are just tall enough to fill each bottle. Place the rosemary stalk into the half-filled bottle, then fill the remainder with just enough olive oil so that the container closes and there are no spills.
To execute this tablescape, each guest should be given their own cutting board topped with fresh bread (I like a french baguette or dinner roll), a small dish of sea salt (a sprig of extra rosemary on top looks nice!), and their own bottle of olive oil to enjoy. Remind guests to take theirs home to enjoy once dinner is over!
