Distinguished by its fruity and peppery flavor profile with fresh, vegetal notes, it's a versatile and popular culinary companion adaptable to many uses, such as:

• Dressing: a classic choice. Combine EVOO with balsamic or white vinegar, salt, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for a delicious and healthy salad dressing.
• Dipping: pair EVOO with balsamic vinegar, herbs, or spices to enhance the flavor and use as a dip for fresh, warm bread.
• Cooking: use EVOO for sautéing, roasting, and pan-frying. Its low smoke point makes it suitable for medium-heat cooking, and it adds a distinctive flavor to vegetables, meats, and fish.
• Drizzling: enhance the taste and add richness to grilled vegetables with a light drizzling of EVOO. Marinading: use EVOO as a base for meat and vegetable marinades. Combine it with herbs, garlic, and citrus juices to add a wonderfully tart yet savory taste.
• Finishing: drizzle a small amount of high-quality EVOO over completed dishes, such as soups, stews, pasta, or grilled meats, just before serving. This adds depth and richness to the dish.
• Baking: while not commonly used as the main oil in baking due to its strong flavor, EVOO can add a delicious, distinct taste to certain baked goods like focaccia.
• Making mayonnaise: make your own homemade mayo using EVOO for a healthier version with a unique taste.
• Making pesto: substitute the traditional oil in pesto recipes with EVOO for a healthier, flavorful alternative.
• Preserving cheese: store fresh mozzarella or feta cheese in EVOO along with herbs and spices for a flavorful preserved treat.
