Filippo Berio Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil
What it is
This is a refined olive oil with a very mild flavor. It is made from a blend of olive oils that have been processed to remove most of their natural color and aroma. The result is a neutral-tasting oil that is versatile for many cooking applications. It has a higher smoke point than extra virgin olive oil, making it suitable for high-heat cooking methods. This particular size is a convenient single-serving packet.
How people cook with it
This oil is a good choice when you want the benefits of olive oil without imparting its distinct flavor into your dish. It works well for everyday cooking and baking.
- Everyday cooking
- Baking cakes
- Roasting vegetables
- Pan-frying
Use this oil for all your general cooking needs. It is ideal for sautéing, stir-frying, and pan-frying where a neutral flavor is desired. It can also be used in marinades and dressings when you do not want the olive oil to dominate other ingredients. In baking, it can substitute for other neutral oils, providing moisture and tenderness to cakes, muffins, and quick breads. Its higher smoke point makes it suitable for searing meats and vegetables at higher temperatures without burning.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike extra virgin olive oil, which has a robust flavor and aroma, this extra light tasting olive oil is very neutral. It has undergone more processing, resulting in a lighter color and a less pronounced taste. This makes it a better choice when the flavor of the oil itself is not meant to be a prominent component of the final dish.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a versatile cooking oil with a mild flavor profile.
