Applications

Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil performs across a wide range of kitchen tasks. Use it as the primary fat for sautéing onions, garlic, and aromatics at the start of soups, stews, and sauces. Drizzle it raw over Caprese salads, bruschetta, or roasted vegetables to finish a dish with pronounced olive flavor. In baking, it works well in olive oil cakes, cornbread, and pizza dough where the oil contributes both moisture and a gentle fruit note. For marinades, its acidity-balancing richness helps carry garlic, herbs, and citrus into chicken, lamb, or firm fish before grilling or roasting.

Preparation & Use

Store unopened bottles in a cool, dark place away from direct heat and sunlight. Once opened, use within a few months for peak flavor; the 3 liter size pours easily from the bottle neck but can also be decanted into a smaller dispenser for tableside use. No preparation is needed; the oil is ready to pour, cook, or drizzle straight from the bottle.
