How to Use
Here are some fantastic ways to incorporate Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) into your everyday cooking:
Salad Dressings: Create exquisite dressings by combining EVOO with a splash of vinegar or citrus juice, along with herbs, spices, and seasonings. Its smooth and fruity notes will add a delightful depth of flavour to your salads.
Cooking at Low to Medium Heat: EVOO's high smoke point makes it suitable for sautéing, stir-frying, and light frying at low to medium heat. Its delicate taste will subtly enhance the natural flavours of your ingredients, bringing out the best in your dishes.
Bread Dipping: Pair a crusty loaf of bread with a small bowl of EVOO seasoned with herbs, garlic, or a sprinkle of sea salt. Dip the bread into the oil for a simple yet satisfying appetizer or accompaniment to a meal.
Drizzling Over Cooked Dishes: After preparing your favourite dishes, add a finishing touch by drizzling a small amount of EVOO over roasted vegetables, grilled meats, pasta, or even pizza. Its luxurious texture and distinctive flavour will add a touch of elegance to your plate.
Marinades: EVOO's rich flavour profile makes it an excellent base for marinades. Combine it with your choice of herbs, spices, and other ingredients to infuse meats, poultry, or vegetables with delicious flavours before grilling, roasting, or baking.
Baking: Replace other oils or fats with EVOO in baking recipes to add a unique and wholesome taste to your cakes, cookies, and bread. Its natural richness and fruity notes can lend a delightful twist to your baked goods.
It's important to store your EVOO properly to maintain its quality. Keep it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure that the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation. Use the oil within its best-before date or within six months of opening for optimal freshness and flavour.
Growing and Processing
The olives are harvested at the peak of ripeness to preserve their exceptional taste and freshness. Once harvested, they undergo a meticulous process that begins on the very same day. First, the olives are washed to remove any impurities, guaranteeing a clean and pure final product.
Next, the olives are delicately crushed to release their natural oils. The cold-pressing method is employed, which utilises pressure and force without the use of heat or chemicals. This gentle extraction process ensures that the integrity of the olives' natural goodness remains intact, preserving their rich flavours and beneficial properties.
By avoiding the application of heat or chemicals, the cold-pressing technique safeguards our olive oil's nutritional value and distinctive characteristics.
Our Australian extra virgin olive oil is the culmination of dedication, craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for the land from which it originates.
