In the kitchen, olive oil is typically used for sautéing and frying. But it’s also great for baking, creating savory sauces, dips and dressings. But one of the more surprising applications for olive oil is serving it with fruit. A touch of olive oil over fresh cut fruit will add depth and enhance the fruit’s natural flavor, while also boosting the overall nutrition and antioxidant content. Try drizzling a little olive oil over a bowl of Bianchini’s fresh cut fruit and taste for yourself how olive oil pairs so well. And if you can’t get enough olive oil and fruit, whip up our fruit salad dressing by following the recipe below.
