Olive Oil – Which oil to use?

As well as being a cooking ingredient, in Italy olive oil is used as a basic dressing for many dishes. It can be drizzled over freshly-cooked pasta, meats, fish or a salad.

Olive oil is made from crushed olives and contains no additives or preservatives and is usually graded into three types.

There are a number of olive oil benefits and Napolina offers a comprehensive range of olive oils suitable for all your cooking needs.

Napolina Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a distinctive fruity flavour. Ideal for salad dressings, dippings, drizzling and adding flavour to any dish.

Napolina Olive Oil is extremely versatile and perfect for everyday use. Ideal for frying and marinating meat, fish and vegetables.

Napolina Light In Colour Olive Oil has a lighter colour than standard Olive Oil or Extra Virgin. Ideal for roasting, shallow frying and browning meat.

Napolina Olio Da Cucina is the ultimate blend of flavour, function and affordability. Olive Oil is blended with Rapeseed oil to retain the delicious olive oil flavour profile, whilst having the versatility and high smoke point of rapeseed (i.e. it won’t burn under very high heat). This blend is perfect for baking and frying. 

Whatever your cooking needs, Napolina has the right format to help you shine. Most of our oils are available in formats from 1l down to 250ml, allowing you to pick the right size for your budget and cooking needs. Napolina has also introduced 200ml spray oils – these are pure olive oil and allow you to cook in your favourite appliances (air fryer safe) whilst offering greatest control over the serving size.
