About Olive Oil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil Styles and Food Combinations
EVOO can be divided into three styles – those which are intensely fruity, those of medium intensity and the very delicate oils. The best flavour combinations are obtained when using the most appropiate style of oil with a particular food. The more intensely flavoured foods are best complemented with a more intensely fruity oil, whilst for a special desert, a very delicate oil will enhance the subtle flavours without dominating the dish.
Suggested combinations:
- Use the more intensely fruity oils for grilling meat, sauteing garlic and onions, on toast with ricotta, swirled into hot soup and for ice cream
- Use a medium style oil for baking fresh tuna, with chicken, on subtle salads and in baking
