“Somelier, what do you have with fragrant bouquet, golden colour and smooth texture.”
Nope, not a guest at the Bubble Lounge seeking a tip on some tipple, but rather at Anantara Kihavah olive oil emporium…
“Casual lunches of crisp salads and traditional pastas are served poolside. In the evening the upstairs restaurant transforms into a leisurely Italian delice, offering regional specialties skilfully crafted from traditional ingredients. And expect an Olive Oil Sommelier to explain a selection of olive oil samples with the kind of lexicon usually reserved for wine.”
Their ‘extra virgin’ selection includes…
- Rustichella d'Abruzzo NOVELLO Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Italy
- PONS Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Spain
- Dandaragan Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Australia
- Vallaurea Ardoino Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Italy
- Coriole Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil, South Australia
- Ionis Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil (organic), Greece
- Marmarabirlik Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Turkey

- Colonna Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Italy
- Naturbosco Arezzo Black Truffle Oil, Italy
- TartuFlanghe Piedmont White Truffle Oil, Italy
- Mongibello Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil (organic), Italy
And the perfect complement, as well as just as pricey as many bottles of champagne per bottle, gourmet balsamic vinegars…
- La Vecchia Dispensa Balsamic Vinegar 10yr
- Bellei Balsamic Vinegar of Modena 12yr
- Champagne Vinegar
- Cherry Vinegar
- Percheron Cider Vinegar
- Komesu Rice Vinegar
- Raspberry Vinegar
- Red and White Wine Vinegar
At Kihavah, even a simple salad for lunch is an occasion with style and distinction. Even dieting to keep that swimsuit figure doesn’t mean missing out on gourmet delicacy.
