Extra Virgin Olive Oil Recipes

From the Valèvida Kitchen

Extra Virgin Olive Oil Recipes

Every one of these starts with the bottle open on the counter. Grassy, a little peppery at the back of the throat, from the Grossal native cultivar in València. These are the things we actually cook — on a Tuesday night, for friends, on the mornings when there's time. Good produce, good bread, good extra virgin olive oil, not much else.

The bottle behind every recipe

Picked green and early, cold-extracted within hours, filtered and bottled with the harvest date on the label. Organic certified, single-origin, lab results published.
