The Olive Oil Source Recipes

As summer continues, everyone could use a quick and no-heat recipe. This recipe is the perfect way to show off peak-season heirloom tomatoes! When picking the tomatoes for this salad, make sure the tomatoes are very heavy for their size, which will mean they are nice and juicy, and have a strong tomato scent. Heirloom tomatoes and nectarines are prepared simply and enhanced with the addition of a delicious pomegranate balsamic dressing and fresh basil.

This salad will turn any kale hater into a kale lover. Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty when massaging the avocado into the kale leaves because it gives the kale a soft and tender texture. The addition, the Lemon Natural Flavor Infused Olive Oil and Cabernet Sauvignon Vinegar add a pleasant brightness that livens up the salad even more.

A perfect summer recipe that takes advantage of the season’s fresh nectarines. The cake can be made 2 days ahead of time and can be served as a breakfast cake with coffee or for dessert with the whipped cream. Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar paired with tart nectarines entices the palate and the whipped cream adds a light and airy element to offset the denseness of the cake.

Even the pickiest of eaters is sure to enjoy this tasty Brussels sprout dish! The Brussels sprouts are tossed with our Glazed Onion Balsamic Vinegar not once but twice giving these sprouts a sweet and rich flavor. Then the sprouts are roasted until the inside is perfectly tender and the outside is slightly crispy making them a perfect side dish to any meal.

A classic Italian sauce, full of fresh basil, that is enhanced by our herbaceous Italian Herbs Natural Flavor Infused Olive Oil. This recipe can be easily doubled or even tripled and can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for 3-4 months! Naturally we paired this vibrant basil pesto with our Luciana Mosconi Fettucine Pasta. Since this pasta maintains the consistency, taste and porousness of fresh pasta it seamlessly soaks up this wonderful pesto. Basil pesto is a fresh, aromatic and wildly flavorful sauce that can be used on all sorts of dishes—fish, chicken, pizza and more.

Crisp lettuce, tender salmon, and bright mango salsa come together to make an easy and healthy salad. With combining just a few ingredients, the mango salsa is the star of this delicious salad. Our Honey Ginger Balsamic has become a springtime favorite, but is equally enjoyed year-round, as this bright flavored balsamic pairs beautifully with citrus fruits, light fish, and much more.

This recipe was born out of two great loves: chocolate and strawberries. Our warehouses are located in Santa Maria, California…home to thousands of acres of strawberry fields. In fact, in 2018, Santa Maria strawberry acreage made up about 25% of the total California crop. We were very picky when we selected our Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar. Crafted in Italy it’s made with real strawberry juice, and you can tell the difference. These rich Strawberry Balsamic Truffles are relatively easy to make, and pair beautifully with a lovely glass of red wine. Buon appetito!

Looking for a savory breakfast or lunch recipe for two? Our Kale and Gruyere Tart with Garlic and Mushroom Olive Oil serves up a modern alternative to a humdrum quiche. The nutty earthiness of the Swiss Gruyere pairs beautifully with the richness of the garlic and mushroom flavors in our high quality olive oil. Nutrient dense kale lends texture as well as its own anti-oxidants. Enjoy!
