Cooking with Olive Oil: A Beginner’s Guide to Liquid Gold

Why Olive Oil is a Kitchen Essential and How to Use It Like a Pro

Olive oil is more than just a cooking ingredient—it’s a liquid gold that enhances flavors, adds healthy fats, and brings out the best in your food. But did you know that not all olive oils are created equal?

At Tubac Gourmet Foods, we carry high-quality, cold-pressed olive oils that are perfect for every type of cooking, from frying to drizzling over salads.

Types of Olive Oil & Their Uses

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) – Best for dipping, dressings, and finishing dishes.
Virgin Olive Oil – Good for low-heat sautéing and roasting.
Infused Olive Oils – Adds unique flavors like garlic, basil, or chili to your dishes.

Tips for Cooking with Olive Oil

Never heat extra virgin olive oil to high temperatures—it’s best used raw or at low heat.
Drizzle flavored olive oils over pasta, bread, or vegetables for an instant flavor boost.
Use olive oil instead of butter for a healthier alternative in recipes.
