Bertolli Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil
What it is
This is a refined olive oil with a very mild flavor profile. It is made from a blend of refined olive oils and virgin olive oils. The refining process removes much of the natural color and flavor typically associated with olive oil. This results in a neutral taste that does not overpower other ingredients. It is suitable for a wide range of cooking applications where a distinct olive oil taste is not desired.
How people cook with it
This versatile oil is excellent for everyday cooking and baking. Its mildness makes it a good choice when you want the flavor of your other ingredients to shine through.
- Everyday frying and sautéing
- Baking cakes and cookies
- Roasting vegetables
- Making salad dressings
Use this olive oil in any recipe that calls for cooking oil. It is ideal for high-heat cooking methods like pan-frying and stir-frying because of its higher smoke point compared to extra virgin olive oil. It can also be used in marinades, for brushing on grilled meats, or as a base for vinaigrettes where a subtle oil flavor is preferred. Its neutral taste makes it a good substitute for other neutral oils like vegetable or canola oil in baking.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike extra virgin or virgin olive oils, which have a distinct fruity or peppery flavor, this extra light tasting olive oil has a very neutral taste. This characteristic makes it suitable for recipes where a strong olive oil flavor would be undesirable, allowing other ingredients to be the primary focus.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs who need a neutral-tasting oil for various culinary preparations.
