I love olive oil, I use it for everything and not just in the kitchen. I have been known to remove stickers and lube up squeaky doors in the house, lol... But let's get back to the cooking test. I was lucky enough to be able to try out Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil and I am glad I did. BzzAgent gave me an opportunity to try Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil for free, yes, they shipped me a bottle to try and blog about. Now, on a normal day, I usually use Kirkland brand olive oil as I go through so much, I need to buy a large container at a time, but it is an average taste to me. The first thing I noticed was that the Filippo Berio is so light, fresh and full of flavor, I forgot how delicious olive oil could really be. I have used it to make a salad dressing with balsamic vinegar and it was awesome, very refreshing and flavorful. Look at the posted pictures of an amazing dairy free sandwich spread that I made with it. Man I could taste the difference, without a doubt. It just tasted cleaner and less oily if that makes any sense. I also made a Mediterranean pasta dinner that is super fresh and delicious that only uses a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice salt and pepper. This time, I served it to my husband who had no idea I was using a new olive oil and he noticed a difference in the flavor. Again, the Filippo Berio is lighter, cleaner and fresher tasting and really helps bring the food to life. I must say, I am very pleased with this brand of olive oil and I will be not only looking for, but buying the largest bottle of it I can find at the grocery store. Filippo Berio has really brought my taste buds alive!
