| Created especially for the Lone Survivor Foundation silent auction |
TexasAngel Oil came to be by several factors. God with a capital “G”
first and foremost, but also with the support of family and friends.
I actually dreamed of being a chef for many years and thus I
shouldn't be surprised for now through Texas Angel Oil I provide to
the world one of the greatest extra virgin olive oils available on
the planet. I have been successful and I have successfully failed,
but even in the success, there is something different with Texas
Angel Oil. My poor grammatical skills and limited understanding of
the English language could never convey what exactly is different
with Texas Angel Oil. So I'll just give credit where I know it is
due without explanation. Thank you, God. This Texas man is just
doing his best every day with my two incredible kids and a great team
working behind the scenes to make this all possible.
This
past weekend a very special blend of Texas Angel Oil extra virgin
olive oil was created and donated to the Lone Survivor Foundation
Houston gala 2016 silent auction. The case auctioned off to the
highest bidder for an impressive $1,380.00. The Lone Survivor
Foundation will undoubtedly put the money to good use helping our
veterans. After my Navy time, it's hard to express how important it
is to me to support my fellow veterans who have given so much to our
country. Even more important to me is to support the SEALs after an
injury in Coronado California during my Navy time changed my career
path to what is now Texas Angel Oil.
This
wasn't any case of olive oil, but 12 bottles all of which were
professionally glass etched with the Lone Survivor Foundation logo on
one side and a very special Texas Angel Oil logo on the other. The
bottles needed housing and thus a custom wooden box made of Alder
wood and hand forged metal handles with insignia were expertly
crafted. All members who participated in the project donated their
time, expertise, materials, and dedication free of charge. More so
everyone on the team had little or no direction other than to make
something special and something special is what they made. I didn't
really search the team members out they were simply put in my path on
this journey through life. The right men at the right time and it
was an honor to work with them. In full disclosure, one is my
brother from the Navy sweating and bleeding the same ground in
Coronado that I did and ironically he endured almost the same career
ending injury. Of course a very big thank you to both my children who worked countless hours behind the scenes. I love you both.

pictures behind the scenes.
I
used to be willing to put my culinary skills up against anyone's and
luckily after a few years under my belt, I realize how little I
actually know. I do know great ingredients when I find them without
question and combined with I know how to build a team and you can get
a glimpse the origins of Texas Angel Oil. There is an industry
leading olive expert behind the scenes managing the Texas Angel Oil
extra virgin olive oil quality and superior taste. I get the price
point on Texas Angel Oil is not for everyone and candidly I wouldn't
be able to supply enough if I could dramatically cut my pricing.
Texas Angel Oil is the go to extra virgin olive oil for that special
meal with those you love. We all do or should sit down in that
intimate setting with friends and family and just have that meal. A
meal to remember is a line I'm liking more and more these days. Is
Texas Angel Oil extra virgin olive oil yet another Texas product to
make it's distinguished mark on the world and achieve “legend”
status with the likes of Tito's Vodka, Blue Bell Ice Cream, and
others? That's not for me to say, but I'll just keep doing my best
to bring you the finest possible olive oil for you to show those you
love them.
