    Extra Virgin Olive Oil

    Extra virgin olive oil is the top grade of olive oil, made from olives without refining. It is used for dressing salads, dipping bread, finishing dishes and everyday cooking.

    This olive oil has a fruity, slightly grassy taste, and often a gentle peppery finish at the back of the throat. It pours as a smooth, golden-green liquid. It suits food where you want to taste the oil, not just cook with it.

    Ways to Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil

    Extra virgin olive oil works best in simple dishes where its flavour comes through.

    • Drizzle over bruschetta, with ripe tomatoes and garlic
    • Whisk with lemon juice and salt for a quick salad dressing
    • Swirl over hummus or baba ganoush just before serving
    • Toss through hot pasta with garlic and chilli
    • Coat vegetables for roasting, such as peppers, courgettes and aubergines
    • Brush over focaccia before and after baking
    • Mix into a marinade for chicken, fish or halloumi
    • Pour into a small dish with balsamic vinegar for dipping bread

    Cooking and Finishing with Olive Oil

    Extra virgin olive oil can be used for normal home cooking, such as softening onions, sautéing vegetables and roasting.

    Heat does soften the delicate flavour, though. For the fullest taste, add a spoonful at the end. Pour it over soup, beans, grilled vegetables or a fried egg once the dish is on the plate.

    When you make dressings, use a little more oil than you think you need and whisk it slowly. It will thicken slightly and cling to the leaves.

    Extra Virgin Olive Oil FAQ

    Can you fry with extra virgin olive oil?

    Yes, extra virgin olive oil is fine for everyday frying and roasting at home. It has a stronger taste than a plain cooking oil, so you will notice it in the finished dish.

    What does extra virgin mean?

    Extra virgin is the highest grade of olive oil. It means the oil comes straight from the olives and has not been refined.

    What is the difference between extra virgin and ordinary olive oil?

    Extra virgin olive oil has a fuller, fruitier flavour. Ordinary olive oil is milder, so it is often chosen when you want a lighter taste in cooking.

    Add this olive oil to your basket ready for your next salad, pasta or tray of roast vegetables.

    We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging.

Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect.

Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
