- Making salad dressings
You can use this olive oil for pan-frying, stir-frying, or deep-frying at moderate temperatures. It is also excellent for drizzling over finished dishes to add richness and flavor. When baking, it can be used to moisten batters and doughs, contributing to a tender crumb. For dressings, it emulsifies well with vinegars and other liquids. Its mild profile makes it a good base for marinades as well.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store the olive oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the cap tightly sealed after each use to prevent oxidation. Properly stored, it will retain its flavor and usability for an extended period.
