Galega Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This reliable award-winning oil showcases notes of green almond, freshly cut grass, savory herbs, and artichoke, culminating in a lingering floral finish.
Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal employs a high-vacuum malaxation technique to eliminate oxygen during the processing stage where the oil is most susceptible to oxidation. This advanced method effectively preserves the phenolic content, overall chemistry, and flavor characteristics while minimizing oxidation markers.

How To Use Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Cooking

Robust extra virgin olive oil can enhance the flavor of many dishes. Here are some ways to use it in cooking:

1. Drizzling: Use it as a finishing oil on salads, grilled vegetables, or roasted meats to add a rich flavor. 
2. Sautéing: Use robust EVOO for sautéing vegetables or proteins. Its strong flavor can stand up to high heat.
3. Marinades: Incorporate it into marinades for meats or fish. Combine with herbs, garlic, and citrus for added flavor.
4. Dipping: Serve it with bread or as a dip for appetizers. You can mix it with balsamic vinegar or herbs.
5. Baking: Use it in baked goods for a unique flavor, such as in bread or savory pastries.
6. Pasta: Drizzle over pasta dishes or use it in sauces to add depth. Soup**: Add a splash to soups just before serving for extra richness.

Remember, while robust EVOO is versatile, it’s best to avoid using it for deep frying, as it can lose its flavor and health benefits at very high temperatures.
