We all know olive oil makes a killer vinaigrette, but there's so much more this golden goodness can do. Whether you're cooking up a storm or just trying to get dinner on the table without setting off the smoke alarm, olive oil is your go-to kitchen superhero. At Chivilla Bay, we carry Olivelle's premium infused olive oils that turn everyday meals into flavor-packed favorites. Here are 5 easy, fun, and totally crave-worthy ways to use olive oil beyond the salad bowl.
- Drizzle It on Roasted Veggies. Tired of boring steamed broccoli? Toss your favorite vegetables in a garlic or chili-infused olive oil and roast them until they're golden brown and crispy on the edges. Pro tip: Add a sprinkle of sea salt and a dash of parmesan to make them irresistible.
- Use It as a Dipping Oil for Bread. Skip the butter and pour some truffle or basil olive oil into a shallow dish. Add a pinch of seasoning or a spoonful of Olivelle's Dipper Herb Blend and you've got a restaurant-style appetizer in seconds. Perfect for dinner parties or a fancy snack moment (no judgement here).
- Finish Your Pasta like a Pro. After draining your noodles, toss them with a healthy pour of rosemary or sun-dried tomato infused olive oil. It adds instant flavor without weighing things down like heavy cream sauces do. Bonus points if you pair it with one of Olivelle's organic pastas.
- Make a Quick Marinade for Meats & Veggies. Mix olive oil with balsamic vinegar, a spoonful of mustard, and your favorite herbs for a quick, no-fuss marinade. It works great on chicken, steak, shrimp, or even portobello mushrooms.
- Pop (or Top) Your Popcorn. Who needs butter when you've got buttery olive oil? Use our Sweet Cream Butter Infused Olive Oil to pop kernels stovetop or drizzle it over microwave popped pocorn (using Olivelle's Silicone Microwave Popcorn Popper) with a little sea salt for a movie-night upgrade you'll be obsessed with.
See? Olive oil is anything but boring. Grab your favorite infused flavors from our Olive Oil Collection and start experimenting in the kitchen. Your taste buds (and dinner guests) will thank you.
