Our Portuguese Fused Lemon Olive Oil combines early-harvest Arbosana olives with Eureka lemons from the sunny Algarve region. Our producer, SAOV, crushes both the olives and the lemons simultaneously to create a citrusy blend that is floral, subtly sweet, and creamy. This oil is produced bi-annually, aligning with the harvest cycles in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Flavor profiles may vary depending on the purchase time, as different varietals are used with each harvest.
IDEAS:
-Combine with balsamic or any vinegar for a salad dressing that makes veggies and fruit do a happy dance
-Saute, bake, or grill, shrimp, scallops, chicken to make them sing with flavor
-Saute dry rice until it shiny, then add a drizzle
-Replace other oils in cookies, cakes, and brownies for a tasty twist
-Drizzle over fresh pasta for a dish that’ll your taste buds do the cha-cha
