Cooking & Usage Recommendations
Best Uses for Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our 700 mL extra virgin olive oil excels in applications where you want the oil’s flavor to shine through. Use it for salad dressings, bread dipping, finishing soups, drizzling over hummus, and marinating meats and vegetables. The fruity notes complement Mediterranean and Italian dishes particularly well.
For cooking, this olive oil works wonderfully for sautéing vegetables, pan-frying fish, roasting potatoes, and making scrambled eggs. While extra virgin olive oil has a lower smoke point than refined oils, it’s perfectly safe for everyday cooking at medium heat. We recommend pairing it with our Great Value Canola Oil for high-heat applications like deep frying.
Nutritional Benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Extra virgin olive oil is celebrated as a cornerstone of the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet. Our 700 mL bottle contains oil rich in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which research suggests may support cardiovascular health when used as part of a balanced diet.
Beyond healthy fats, extra virgin olive oil contains natural antioxidants and polyphenols that are preserved through our cold-pressing process. These compounds contribute to the oil’s characteristic peppery finish and potential health benefits. One tablespoon provides approximately 120 calories and 14 grams of fat, with about 10 grams being monounsaturated.

The “extra virgin” designation means the oil is extracted mechanically without heat or chemicals, preserving natural antioxidants, polyphenols, and flavor compounds. This results in the characteristic fruity, slightly peppery taste and golden-green color. Regular or “pure” olive oil is typically refined and blended, resulting in a milder flavor better suited for high-heat cooking.
