Italian Olive Oil Products & How My Family Has Utilized Them

By Rob Sutter


Coming from a background in which Italian olive oil products were common, I can tell you just how many uses they have had when I was growing up. I saw that they were some of the finest when it came time to make various types of dishes or at least give said dishes the flavor they needed. After all, some of them need a kick, don't they? If you want a bit of a comprehensive look of the uses this oil had in my household, you may be interested to hear about them.

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.

This oil has a number of uses, whether it comes to actually cooking or simply glazing a dish with it. I am someone who has tried a number of Italian foods in the past, considering family backgrounds and what have you. You can be certain that the number of recipes I've tried was extensive. I was able to taste a type of pasta with this oil used and I was surprised by how well it came out. If you're talking about actually cooking, it was something I've seen less off.

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.
