Extra Virgin Olive Oil

In the heart of every kitchen, the right ingredients not only enhance the flavor but also elevate the entire cooking experience. Among these, extra virgin olive oil holds a prestigious place, revered not just for its versatility but for the depth it adds to every dish. At Sur La Table, we understand that selecting the best extra virgin olive oil is akin to choosing the finest spices or the freshest produce—it's essential for anyone who takes joy in cooking and savoring good food. Whether you're sautéing vegetables, dressing a vibrant salad, or dipping artisan bread, the right olive oil can transform the simple into the sublime.

For those new to the culinary arts or seasoned chefs alike, the journey to finding your perfect bottle of olive oil can be as rewarding as it is delicious. Consider the subtle extra virgin olive oils, which are ideal for those who prefer a gentler touch of flavor. These oils are perfect for dishes where you want the oil to complement rather than dominate. Imagine drizzling a light, fruity olive oil over a winter root vegetable roast or mixing it into a homemade pesto that remains bright and inviting, even in the heart of January.
