Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Extra virgin olive oil is an unrefined olive oil with fruity, grassy, or peppery flavor. Use it for dressings, finishing, and gentle cooking where its aroma can stay noticeable.
Identity
Flavor-forward olive oil
Best when its aroma matters.
Extra virgin olive oil brings more flavor than neutral oil. It can start aromatics over moderate heat, but it shines most in dressings, dips, soups, and finishing touches. Taste before using if bitterness or pepperiness could dominate.
