When I first began living on my own and following a paleo lifestyle cooking became a huge part of my life. I loved researching different recipes, creating my own, and shopping for the ingredients. Being a college student I never thought it was important to spend those extra few bucks on basic ingredients such as olive oil when I could be saving them for a night out with friends. They were just basic, every day ingredients so what could be so special about the $15 bottle vs. the $7? I used to tell myself that all olive oils that are cold pressed and organic must taste the same so I always reached for the cheapest bottle on the shelf.
A few weeks ago I began using Kasandrinos extra virgin olive oil in my cooking and my view on olive oil is forever changed and I now understand the importance of using a high quality, authentic olive oil. The taste is clean and balanced, the color is bright golden yellow with a hint of green, and the aroma jumps out at you. It's simply perfection.

I drink a tablespoon of olive oil mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice every morning!
ReplyDeleteI love it drizzled all over my salad. This is the best stuff out there. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI love olive oil for salad dressings and for dipping bread! I have also realized that the pricier bottles are of much higher quality and like to splurge when I can :)
