It is excellent for making dressings and vinaigrettes by whisking it with vinegar, herbs, and seasonings. When baking, it can add moisture and richness to cakes, muffins, and breads. It is also wonderful for dipping crusty bread or for finishing grilled meats and vegetables just before serving to enhance their flavor and texture.
