Butter to Extra Virgin Olive Oil Conversion
At The Little Shop of Olive Oils, we understand the allure of butter, but have you considered the benefits of swapping it out for olive oil? Not only does it work well in recipes calling for softened or melted butter, but it also creates baked goods with superior texture and moisture retention. Give regular or light-tasting olive oil a try for a subtle flavor, or elevate your dish with a fruity extra virgin oil for added complexity.
