Mastering the Art: Cooking with Extra Virgin Olive Oil
While EVOO is a versatile ingredient, knowing how to use it effectively is key. Enhance the natural flavours of your dishes by drizzling EVOO over salads, grilled vegetables, or seafood. Just remember, EVOO is best used for dressings, dips, and low-heat cooking to preserve its delicate taste and nutritional benefits.

Understanding the Spectrum of Flavours
As an olive oil enthusiast, one of the most intriguing aspects is the vast array of flavours that different varieties offer. From the delicate and fruity notes of a mild EVOO to the robust and peppery finish of a more intense one, each bottle holds a story waiting to be savoured.
Exploring the World of EVOOs
Let's start with Pukara Estate's Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, renowned for its soft aromas of green bananas, apples, and grass. This delicate oil is perfect for dishes where you want the olive oil to enhance, rather than overpower, the flavours. Use it in salads, drizzle it over grilled vegetables, or use it as a finishing touch on pasta dishes to add a subtle yet distinctive taste.
Moving on to the robust end of the spectrum, Pukara Estate offer a range of flavoured Extra Virgin Olive Oils along with their own skin care range and other kitchen ingredients. Their oils pair beautifully with hearty dishes like roasted meats or stews, where its strong flavour can stand up to the other ingredients without being overshadowed.
Enhancing Culinary Creations with EVOO
Beyond its use as a cooking staple, EVOO can also elevate the flavours of your dishes in unexpected ways. For example, using a mild EVOO infused with garlic and herbs can add depth to marinades or salad dressings, imparting a subtle hint of flavour that enhances the overall taste experience.
On the other hand, a more robust EVOO with a peppery finish can bring a bold intensity to dishes like bruschetta or grilled seafood, cutting through richer flavours and adding a touch of complexity.
Pairing EVOO with Food and Drink
When it comes to pairing EVOO with food and drink, the possibilities are endless. For a simple yet indulgent appetizer, serve crusty bread alongside a bowl of EVOO infused with balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of pepper for dipping.
If you're feeling adventurous, try drizzling a fruity EVOO over vanilla ice cream or fresh fruit for a surprisingly delicious dessert. The natural sweetness of the olive oil balances perfectly with the tartness of the fruit, creating a refreshing and sophisticated treat.
Can you use Olive Oil as a moisturiser?
Absolutely! Olive oil isn't just a kitchen staple—it's a skincare superstar too. Rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, olive oil works wonders for your skin, especially your face. It's like giving your skin a big, warm hug, locking in moisture and keeping it hydrated all night long. Those essential fatty acids? They're like little superheroes swooping in to rescue dry, tired skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and oh-so-supple. So, next time you're looking for a natural way to pamper your face, look no further than the golden goodness of olive oil. Your skin will thank you for it!
