What it is
Roundy's Select Pure Olive Oil is a cooking oil made from olives. It is processed to remove impurities and achieve a consistent flavor and color.

How people cook with it
This olive oil is versatile and can be used in many everyday cooking tasks.
- Sautéing vegetables
- Roasting meats
- Making salad dressings
- Pan-frying
Pure olive oil can be heated to medium-high temperatures, making it appropriate for sautéing and pan-frying. It can also be used in marinades for meats and vegetables before cooking. For salad dressings, it provides a smooth base that blends well with vinegars and other seasonings. When roasting, it helps to create a nice sear on the surface of foods and prevents sticking to the pan. Its mild flavor does not overpower other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Pure olive oil differs from extra virgin olive oil in its processing. While extra virgin is unrefined and retains more of the olive's original flavor and color, pure olive oil is refined, resulting in a lighter taste and a higher smoke point. This makes it more suitable for high-heat cooking.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a reliable and versatile cooking oil for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation. Proper storage helps preserve the oil's quality for an extended period.
