Verbena Spanish Hojiblanca Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Spain is synonymous with olive trees. Reliable references to cultivars date from the 15th century, and those cultivar names are the same as those used today in the same areas. The Spanish Hojiblanca is a hardy olive that ripens late in the harvest season. Rich in buttery vegetable notes with a hint of artichokes, aroma is fresh and lively. A long finish on the palate with a slight peppery finish. The flavor works well with citrus and fresh melons. For an appetizer that everyone will remember, pair a fresh mozarella with Italian style deli meats by hand rolling them together, then garnish with Spanish Hojiblanca.
PAIRINGS: Cranberry Pear Balsamic, Honey Ginger, White Lemon Balsamic, White Raspberry, 25 Star, Strawberry Balsamic, & more.

Spanish Hojiblanca Extra Virgin Olive Oil
WAYS TO USE OLIVE OIL:
Sautéing, Baking, Grilling. Drizzle it over salad or mix it into salad dressing.
Use in marinades or sauces for meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables. Oil penetrates nicely into the first few layers of the food being marinated.
Add at the end of cooking for a burst of flavor. Drizzle over cooked pasta or vegetables.
Use instead of butter or margarine as a healthy dip for bread.
Replace butter with olive oil in mashed potatoes or on baked potatoes. For the ultimate mashed potatoes, whip together cooked potatoes, roasted garlic, and olive oil; season to taste.
Make a tasty, heart-healthy hummus dip by mixing cooked white beans or chickpeas, garlic, and olive oil in a food processor; season to taste with your favorite herbs.
Use olive oil in your sauces -- whisking will help emulsify, or blend, the watery ingredients with the oil in the sauce.

Ingredients
100% Organic Extra Virgin Spanish Hojiblanca Olive Oil, Cold-Pressed, GMO Free, Dairy Free, and Gluten Free, Vegan.
Olive oil should be stored in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, away from the heat and light. Choose a spot in the kitchen that's away from the oven. The best temperature for storing oil is 57 degrees, though room temperature, or 70 degrees, is also okay. Bottling in dark containers is also important to shield Olive Oil from harmful UV Rays and light. It should not be stored in the refrigerator. This way EVOO can keep up to 2 years instead of the usual 3-6 months when not properly stored.
