Add Some Flavor To Your Life With European Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Do you use Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the kitchen? I use it all the time and it is a staple in my pantry. I have even given it as housewarming gifts, since it is one of my most used products in the kitchen.

I use EVOO for salad dressings, appetizers dips, sauteing, and the list goes on and on. Did you know there is a difference in taste and authenticity in oils? I am head over heels with Extra Virgin Olive Oil directly from Europe. Why use authentic extra virgin olive oil from Europe? There are many reasons this makes a difference in the quality and purity of the oil you are using. 

European Extra Virgin Olive comes from the fruit of the plant of a European olive. European Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made by pressing without heat or chemicals. It represents the freshest and purest olive oil available. Pure goodness! Extra virgin olive oil is virtually free of acidity—below 0.8%. Olive oils are also tested for peroxide values. Lower values indicate fresher oil and more rapid processing, and are required for Extra Virgin designation. Each oil is judged by expert tasters, who must agree that it meets the high flavor standards of an Extra Virgin rating. A lot goes into making sure the olive oil you are getting is pure and fresh. I love the quality of Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil. 

A Few Ways To Add Flavor To Your Life 

Spice up your appetizer game by drizzling extra virgin olive oil over a bed of spices and serve with warm baguette. 

Make your own salad dressing with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and italian seasoning.

Replace butter with olive oil when making sandwiches. 

Saute all veggies with an extra virgin olive oil base and garlic. They taste amazing on a bed of rice. 

How To Store Your Oils

If possible do not store your oil on the counter or near a stove, and never in the refrigerator. Keep the lid screwed on tight, and use your oil within six months of opening oil within six months of and within 18 months of purchasing. Keep in a cool, dry, dark place like a cabinet. 

Health Benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil 

  1. More Olive Oil could help reduce your risk of heart disease heart disease is the number one cause of premature death worldwide. Populations residing in mediterranean regions have low rates of mortality (death) from heart disease. While this is due to a combination of factors, their high consumption of Extra Virgin Olive Oil is thought to be a major one. 
  2.  Olive Oil can contribute to health and longevity. In regions where olive oil is a a big part of the diet, people tend to live longer lives.
  3. Studies show that cooking with Extra Virgin Olive Oil can increase the nutrient content of your food. This is due to the antioxidants that are found in Extra Virgin Olive Oil are so resistant to high heat that they don’t break down and instead end up being absorbed by the cooked food.
  4. Extra Virgin Olive Oil consumption can help improve bone health. Olive oil, especially those rich in polyphenols such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil, may prevent bone loss with aging.

     

There you have it! How are you going to add more flavor to your life with European Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
