ORGANIC 100% EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

With its mild intensity and notes of ripe fruit, our organic extra virgin olive oil is perfect for baking and light dishes like this one.

INGREDIENTS

2 / whole garlic cloves
1/2 cup / walnuts, toasted
2 ounces / parmesan cheese
1 cup / fresh sage leaves
1 cup / fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon / kosher salt
1/3 cup / Zucchi's Organic 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small food processor, drop in the garlic, parmesan cheese, and toasted walnuts. Pulse together until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

Next, add fresh parsley, sage, and salt. Pulse again until all the leaves are finely chopped.

With the motor running, pour in Zucchi Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and blend together for about 10-15 seconds. Stop the motor and scrape down the sides. Pulse together again.

Scrape out of the food processor into a jar or bowl.

If not using immediately, store pesto in a sealable container in the fridge for up to 3 days, with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil drizzled on top to preserve its color and flavor.

Tomato, Herb & Olive Oil Mayo

Condiments

Olive oil in mayonnaise? Many argue that olive oil should never be used to make mayo because of its bitterness. However, when done right, great-tasting olive oil mayo is possible. The key? Use an extra virgin olive oil with a mild intensity and round flavor. Here, we’ve opted for our Organic EVOO which has a mild intensity and delicate finish.
