    How to Cook with Olive Oil

    Olive oil has lot's of uses!

    • Delicate oils are perfect in salad dressings, or as a condiment with milder foods like vegetables, fish, eggs or potatoes.
    • More robust oils are good for heartier foods like steak or spicy soups.
    • Olive oil has a high smoking point of 400 degrees, so olive oil is perfect for holding up to cooking, or even enhancing any dish by drizzling on as a finish.
