Blood Orange EVOO Brownies
Chocolate and orange are a classic combination, but not one often seen in brownies (or if it is, flavored with little more than a bit of zest or orange extract). This lovely layered treat is as much about the citrus curd as it is about the brownie, resulting in a rush of flavor and luscious texture in each and every bite.
Ingredients
Lemon Olive Oil Cake
Bright and fragrant, this cake incorporates lemon extra-virgin olive oil to create a tender, moist crumb with a refreshing citrus twist. Fresh zest and juice keep the flavor clean and sunny, making it an elegant, unfussy dessert that’s just as at home with afternoon tea as it is after dinner.
Ingredients
Blood Orange EVOO & Dark Chocolate Balsamic Roasted Chicken
Aromatic and sophisticated, this roasted chicken marries the citrusy sweetness of blood orange olive oil with the deep tang of dark chocolate balsamic for a rich, glossy finish. A Dijon- and garlic-forward marinade infuses the meat with savory brightness, while the pan sauce—brightened with fresh orange—ties everything together in a perfectly balanced, restaurant-worthy dish.
Ingredients
Basil Roasted Beet and Carrot Salad with Burrata

Fresh basil and a drizzle of rich balsamic vinegar add brightness and depth, balancing the earthy vegetables and soft cheese. It’s an elegant yet simple dish that works beautifully as a starter or a light main.

How to Choose the Best Olive Oil
With so many options, selecting the right olive oil ensures maximum flavor and health benefits:
- Look for “Extra Virgin” – Guarantees purity, no refinement, and high nutrient content.
- Check the Harvest Date – The fresher, the better!
- Opt for Dark Bottles – Light degrades quality; dark glass helps preserve freshness.
- Taste Before You Buy – A good EVOO should balance fruitiness, bitterness, and a peppery finish.
