California Olive Ranch Review and Giveaway...

Congrats to Andrea P!

We recently had the chance to review a bottle of California Olive Ranch olive oil.

About California Olive Ranch:
"We cold press our award winning 100% California grown olives within hours of picking for a fresher taste. Our distinct green bottle keeps our sustainably grown, premium extra virgin olive oil fresh longer. Enjoy the new taste of fresh!"

About the Everday Olive Oil:
Tasting notes:

Delicate EVOO
Fruity nose
Smooth and buttery tongue
Very slight peppery finish
Goes Well With:

When baking cakes and cookies.
For all-purpose mayonnaise and mashed potatoes
With tender salad greens
                      


What we thought: This was a really great olive oil for everyday use.  It had a pleasant flavor that worked well for a variety of cooking methods.  We used it in our pump sprayer that converts oil into spray and it was great for prepping pans for cooking and baking and worked really well sprayed on fresh veggies for roasting.  It was great for using in baked goods and on grilled meats.  It was so versatile and our two favorite ways to eat it were mixed with a little basil pesto as a dipping sauce and as a base for delicious salad dressings. Overall, a really great olive oil for daily use...a great healthy alternative to butter or other oils:)  ABCD Diaries gives California Oil Ranch an A+!
