From Finishing to Everyday Cooking

Favolosa's combination of ripe fruit, floral aromas, and fresh green notes makes it particularly appealing when the flavor of the olive oil remains noticeable in the finished dish. Pour it into a dipping dish with crusty bread, whisk it into vinaigrettes, or drizzle it over tomatoes, vegetables, pasta, fish, and other finished dishes.

Its supplied 400°F smoke point also gives home cooks flexibility for heated preparations. Keep it within easy reach when sautéing, roasting, or preparing vegetables, proteins, and other everyday meals where you want both cooking performance and distinctive extra virgin olive oil flavor.

Pro Tips
  • Taste it on its own or with fresh bread first to experience the floral, fruity, and green flavor notes.
  • Use it as a finishing oil when you want the Favolosa olive's character to remain prominent.
  • Whisk with your favorite balsamic vinegar for a simple vinaigrette or bread dip.
  • Drizzle over roasted vegetables just before serving to add fresh olive oil character.
  • Use with simply prepared fish, chicken, or vegetables when you want the oil's fruitiness and herbaceous notes to complement rather than overpower the dish.
  • Store away from excessive heat and direct light to help protect the oil's quality.
