This extra virgin olive oil is the sauce makers choice. Hojiblanca Olive Oil is an excellent all around oil. It has a soft, buttery, smooth and sweet flavor, yet ends in a wonderful pepper finish. Stands up well under heat. Great for brushing over vegetables, as a base for salad dressings, or mixed with any balsamic for a sweet, buttery taste.
