🍳 How to use it

💡 Cold dishes:

• Salads and dressings: it perfectly brings out the flavour of vegetables, tomatoes, mozzarella or grilled vegetables.

• Dip: with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper, it’s ideal with bread as an antipasto.

🍲 Hot dishes:

• Light sautéing: briefly sautéed over a low to medium heat (e.g. vegetables, fish).

• Finishing dishes: adding a tablespoon of oil to pasta, beans or roast potatoes brings out the flavour.
  (Extra virgin olive oil is not usually recommended for high-heat frying, as its smoke point is lower than that of some refined oils – special oils with a higher smoke point are more suitable for intense heat treatment.)

🍅 When to use it

✔️ As a finishing touch: ideal for adding flavour to Mediterranean dishes, baked goods, soups or grilled foods.
✔️ In marinades: olive oil helps bring out the flavour of herbs, garlic and lemon.
✔️ On bread: with a pinch of salt, it’s a classic of Mediterranean cuisine.
