Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils, Good Vs Bad Extra Virgin Olive Oil-An Informed Buyers Guide

FRANTOIO-LECCINO ULTRA PREMIUM EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

Our Chilean Frantoio-Leccino Extra Virgin Olive Oil features notes of spicy arugula and bitter greens, with a malty, savory herb center that gives way to a delayed bitterness and lingering pungency. Both olive varietals shine in this classic Italian example.

Our ultra-premium extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) are exceptionally versatile, pairing perfectly with our barrel-aged Italian balsamic vinegars. They are ideal for vinaigrettes, marinades, sautés, and as a finishing touch for various dishes.

SALAD DRESSING (VINAIGRETTE) PREPARATION

Combine 2 parts Frantoio-Leccino Extra Virgin Olive Oil with 1 part balsamic vinegar. Whisk together and serve. To emulsify dab in a small amount of Dijon mustard or light mayo and continue whisking. Oil and balsamic will become creamy in appearance. Refrigerate remaining amount for up to 3 days.

MARINADE PREPARATION

Combine equal parts Frantoio-Leccino Extra Virgin Olive Oil with equal parts balsamic vinegar. We recommend preparing just enough to cover the protein. Place in zip-lock bag and squeeze out air. Place in refrigerator for at least six hours.

Note: For Fish, Seafood (catches from the water) we recommend rubbing the Frantoio-Leccino Extra Virgin Olive Oil into the raw protein in the absence of the balsamic vinegar for approximately 30 minutes. We recommend NOT using balsamic during the marinade step to prevent the acidic balsamic from breaking down the delicate protein.  Instead, combine Frantoio-Leccino Extra Virgin Olive Oil and balsamic and use to drizzle over the finished product.

HEAT APPLICATIONS

Applying heat to any oil or balsamic may slightly reduce the original flavor profile. To bring back any lost flavors prepare a small amount of fresh marinade and drizzle over the finished product.
