Italian Olive Oil Products In My Household

By Rob Sutter


I am a big fan of Italian olive oil products and there are a number of reasons as to why this is. They were seen in my family for quite some time and I saw just how much they were utilized to help any kind of meal you could think of. Not only did they serve to help flavor - which is always a plus - but a select few dishes were created with them being brought into the picture. It was clear that there was an extensive list of ways that they could have been implemented.

Italian olive oil products, at least the better ones, are all-natural, meaning that their qualities are brought to even greater extents. One of the ways that I remember them being utilized is through flavor, more specifically making it even more noticeable. For example, I had very little idea that they could help something as simple as a fruit salad but it wasn't long until I started to recognize what was being told to me. Authorities along the lines of Flavor Your Life can tell you all about this.

Even though the oil doesn't necessarily have to be utilized as a cooking agent, it works very nicely as a dressing over the dish in question. For example, my family is heavily into pasta, so you can imagine that I've seen a litany of recipes and tried just about every one of them. Pasta with this type of oil as a sauce base is excellent because of the health properties associated with it. Of course, there's always been an element of risk associated with it.

I think that with just how many incentives there are to use this oil, the act of cooking with it is something that requires somewhat more skill. The reason that I say this comes back to the oil's smoke point, considered to be indicator of just how heated it is allowed to become. If this point is exceeded, then the positive aspects of the oil deteriorate, meaning no antioxidants or other vitamins tied into it. It's the type of item which people must be careful of when heat is seen.

I don't think that I've been unfortunate enough to see accidents occur in the kitchen but rather small mishaps with a litany of foods. I think that cooking with Italian olive oil products, for example, presents a good deal of risk because you may not know just how high to raise the temperature emitting from the stove, for example. I've seen good dishes ruined because of a lack of attention that had to be there. This oil can be used by cooks but only those who are careful in their methods.
