Reviews
My absolute favorite everyday oil!
"My absolute favorite everyday oil! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I love making my eggs in this olive oil, and it is superb for everyday use. It is pretty amazing on toast and popcorn too. If you need a versatile, delicious olive oil for your daily cooking, this is it!"
I use it for roasting
"I use it for roasting and salad dressings. Initially I was hesitant using EVOO because I had only used the oils available in my local grocery store. The taste of those oils was not pleasing to my palate. I also noticed that there was little to no information about what olives or where and when they were harvested was available. After reading about your oils, the olives used and that they had bottled dates, I decided to give then a try. Not only have I become a convert, my youngest son who lives with us and shares cooking uses them exclusively when roasting anything. The quality and tastes of your EVOO convinced me to create a subscription to have them regularly shipped to me."
For years I’ve know that
"For years I’ve know that I need to use olive oil more often. Problem was every bottle I purchased at grocery stores just tasted awful. I purchased the Arbequina EVOO on the Mediterranean Dish website because I wanted to try Suzy’s Olive Oil Lemon cake recipe (which was AWESOM!) and tried the Arbequina EVOO in a salad dressing. Now I’m hooked! I have it delivered monthly and have never purchased a grocery store-shelf salad dressing since - and that’s been over a year now. Mild, fruity, not bitter at all, just lovely. Makes perfect salad dressings. Highly recommend it. Thanks Suzy"
