- Making vinaigrettes
Use this extra virgin olive oil to create vibrant salad dressings by whisking it with vinegar, herbs, and seasonings. It is also perfect for marinating ingredients like chicken, fish, or vegetables, allowing the flavors to penetrate and tenderize them before cooking.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the cap tightly sealed and continue to store it in a cool, dark pantry. Avoid refrigerating, as this can cause cloudiness and affect the texture.
