Extra virgin olive oil has become a staple in our kitchen pantry. It is very versatile due to its high smoke point (400 degrees F). It can be used to saute, fry or bake your favorite foods. I also often use it to make homemade salad dressing.
Olitalia believes all great cooking revolves around great oil. Olitalia is the #1 brand most used by chefs in Italy and is now available for home cooking in the US. Look for Olitalia at Eataly locations.
There is a website called Flavor Your Life which provides a lot of useful information regarding European Extra Virgin Olive Oil. For example, did you know that the flavor of olive oil is greatly impacted by the region in which the olive trees are grown? Europe’s diverse climate and soil produce a wide range of olive oil flavor profiles. Here are some key characteristics of the different regions:
- Spain: typically golden yellow with a fruity, nutty flavor.
- Italy: dark green and has an herbal aroma and a grassy flavor.
- Greece: tends to be green, strong flavor and aroma.
- France: pale in color and has a mild flavor.
My whole family really enjoys eating salmon, so I tried out a recipe I found on the Flavor Your Life website for Grilled Chinese Salmon Salad that uses olive oil as the base for the flavorful dressing.
Grilled Chinese Salmon Salad
1 T. fresh coriander, minced, and sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
The salad dressing turned out nice and light and complemented the flavor of the salmon well. n gave it a thumbs up! Be sure to visit Flavor Your Life for more recipe ideas using European Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
