L’Estornell Extra Virgin Olive Oil - What’s in my Pantry?

Filed under: What's in my pantry, Product Reviews — Nicky @ 4:34 pm

It’s official, I actually have a pantry in my new house and I love it!  One of the things I have in my pantry is L’Estornell Olive Oil.  I usually purchase Olio Santo - I think it is a really fabulous olive oil, please see my previous post on Olio Santo to read the full review.  I wound up with L’Estronell as a gift and I have to say I think it is a very nice olive oil.  The one I have is the organic variety, they sell both organic and non-organic types.  It is produced in Spain, like so many olive oils are now.  The flavor is quite similar to Olio Santo.  The olive taste is a light hint in the background, not overpowering in any way.  I have used it in salad dressings, for cooking, etc and it has performed well in each arena.  I particullarly love using it as a cooking oil, some of the other olive oils I have sampled are too strong for cooking.  It’s also lovely with balsamic vinegar as a dip for bread.  If you want more information please check out their website - http://www.vea.es/688_english/estornell.htm.
