Olive oil
Olive oil is a fruity, sometimes peppery, essential fat in Mediterranean cuisine. It is used for cooking, dressing salads, and finishing dishes. Extra virgin olive oil is best for cold applications, while refined olive oil suits higher-heat cooking.
Olive oil is frequently combined with salt, pepper, garlic, onions, and vegetable stock. Recipes demonstrate its use in curries, pasta dishes, roasted vegetables, salads, and bowls. Examples include 'Quinoa-Bowl mit Ofengemüse und Tomatensalat' and 'Spargelsalat mit grünem Spargel, Tomaten und Feta'. It is a fundamental ingredient for sautéing, roasting, and creating dressings.
