Salov Extra Light Olive Oil
What it is
This is a refined olive oil with a very mild flavor and a high smoke point. It is made from a blend of refined olive oils and virgin olive oils. The refining process removes impurities and the natural color and flavor of the olives, resulting in a pale, neutral-tasting oil. It is suitable for a wide range of cooking applications where a strong olive oil flavor is not desired.
How people cook with it
Extra light olive oil is a versatile cooking oil that can be used in many different ways in the kitchen. Its mildness makes it a good choice for everyday cooking.
- Baking cakes and muffins
- Pan-frying vegetables
- Roasting chicken
- Making salad dressings
This oil is excellent for high-heat cooking methods such as sautéing, stir-frying, and deep-frying because of its high smoke point. It is also a good choice for baking, as its neutral flavor will not overpower delicate baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pastries. When making marinades or dressings, it provides a smooth base without imparting a strong olive taste. It can also be used for general pan-frying and roasting of meats and vegetables.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike extra virgin olive oil, which has a robust, fruity flavor and lower smoke point, extra light olive oil is much more neutral. Its pale color and mild taste mean it won't compete with other ingredients. This makes it a more adaptable choice when you need an oil for cooking but don't want the distinct flavor of olive oil.
Who it is for
Home cooks who want a neutral cooking oil for various culinary tasks will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
