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.
