Colavita Canola and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Blend 75/25, 1 Gallon, 6 Per Case

Colavita Canola and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Blend 75/25, 1 Gallon, 6 Per Case delivers a clean, product-focused experience with the flavor, texture, and everyday appeal shoppers expect from this item.

Uses

Sauteing and pan frying: The canola component raises the smoke point above straight olive oil, making this blend well suited for sauteing vegetables, searing proteins, and shallow frying at moderate to high heat.
Salad dressings and marinades: The 25% extra virgin olive oil contributes flavor and body to vinaigrettes, Italian dressings, and marinades without overpowering other ingredients.
Baking and roasting: Substitute this blend for butter or pure vegetable oil in baking recipes that benefit from a subtle olive oil note, or use it to coat vegetables and sheet pans before roasting.
Deep frying: The canola majority provides a clean, neutral frying medium for chicken, fish, potatoes, and other deep-fried menu items while the olive oil fraction adds a hint of richness to the finished crust.
Griddle and wok cooking: The blend’s balanced smoke point and light olive flavor work well on flat-top griddles and in stir-fry applications where pure extra virgin olive oil would smoke too quickly.

Application Areas

This blend is a strong fit across nearly every station in a commercial kitchen. On the line, use it as the default cooking oil for saute pans, griddles, and deep fryers where a neutral-to-mild olive flavor is desirable. In the prep area, it works as a base oil for marinades, basting mixtures, and batch salad dressings. Baking programs that call for liquid fat can use it in muffins, focaccia, and savory quick breads. It is also practical as a light coating oil for sheet pans and grill grates to prevent sticking during service.

Preparation and Use

Shake or briefly stir before dispensing, as the two oil components may separate slightly during storage. Store sealed containers in a cool, dark area away from heat sources; the one-gallon jug’s handle and wide mouth allow easy pouring into dispensers, squeeze bottles, or directly into pans. For deep frying, maintain oil temperature between 350 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit and filter or replace the oil when it darkens, smokes prematurely, or develops off odors. This blend can replace pure canola or vegetable oil at a one-to-one ratio in any recipe that calls for liquid cooking oil.
