Olive oil (for drizzling)

Description

Olive oil (for drizzling) has a golden-green color, ranging from clear to slightly cloudy, and its flavor varies from mild and fruity to more pronounced, grassy with peppery notes; the aroma subtly enhances dishes without overpowering them. It is most commonly used for drizzling on salads, roasted vegetables, grilled fish and meat, sandwiches, and finishing soups, hummus, or bread, where it adds shine and depth of flavor. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, which promote heart health, reduce inflammation, and improve the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins; small amounts are recommended daily. Store it in a dark, airtight bottle, away from light and heat, at room temperature, and use it within a few months of opening to maintain its flavor and properties.
