How do you flavor your meals? In addition to adding herbs and other spices, olive oil is an excellent way to add aroma and flavor to any meals your family may enjoy. But not just any olive oil – I always try to use extra virgin olive oil. My today’s blog post is a review of Le Stagioni d’ Italia 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. So read on!

Introduction

The Flavor Your Life campaign aims to educate North American consumers about authentic extra virgin olive oil from Europe. Flavor Your Life is empowering consumers by educating them about the rich history and delicious properties that these oils display- and sharing the delicious extra virgin olive oil culinary culture that’s been harvested in Europe for generations.

My experience

I received my kit which included a 500 ml bottle of Le Stagioni d” Italia 100% extra virgin olive oil and Le Stagioni d’ Italia Carnaroli risotto, recipe cards and a leaflet outlining information about EVOO from Europe. The box was well packed and the oil bottle was safely and securely stored in the package. I used the 100% extra virgin olive oil for both my Indian and Italian cooking. It added a nice flavor and aroma and gave richness to the meals we tried as a family.

Some of the recipes I tried and my entire family relished, including my 2 teens, are Indian fried rice, Indian poha/chidwa, ravioli, spaghetti, pasta and risotto! For more ideas, recipes, and to learn more about Flavor Your Life, click here. Since we are vegetarian, we tried all veggie recipes but you can read here for more non-vegetarian recipe ideas. Did you know that you can make yummy cookies with olive oil? You can try Olive Oil Citrus Sugar Cookies, salad, hummus, pies, sandwiches, meatballs, lasagna, casserole, cake and so much more! You can read more recipes here, with videos and step by step details.

My favorite vegetarian recipes

I invite you to try the 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil for any or all of your recipe needs. My favorite vegetarian recipes from the list include Spaghetti and Chili Flakes, Bread Salad on a Skewer, Pumpkin Hummus, Whole Roasted Cauliflower, Sweet Potato Skins With Ricotta And Spinach, and Black Bean Bites among so many others to chose from. Getting vegetarian options was an added bonus and I gave it a go with Indian meals too and they came out perfect!

You are very welcome. Have not tried coconut oil for cooking but heard it’s quite healthy

For us Italians, oil is essential. Only extra virgin olive oil. It is a cost, yes, but it is a fundamental piece for our office. So I love seeing you talk about this quality product!

Thank you Cristina for your thoughts and encouragement!
