Benissimo Gourmet Flavored Olive Oils

Benissimo Oil Photo Straight

As a lover of gourmet olive oils, I couldn’t wait to try some of Benissimo Gourmet Flavored Olive Oils! Benissimo infuses their extra virgin olive oil with fresh dehydrated herbs and spices to create a variety of delicious flavored oils such as Siciliano Garlic, Roasted Garlic, Italiano, Basil & Sun Dried Tomato and many more, including the one I used in this Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Kabobs, Mediterranean Garlic.

Benissimo Mediterranean Garlic Olive Oil is infused with minced garlic, thyme, basil, and oregano for a delicious Mediterranean taste. This gourmet extra virgin olive oil is perfect for use as a marinade for chicken, fish, and shrimp, as well as a topping over steamed vegetables.

I love the way the oil looks in its bottle – the rich, golden color with the spices and herbs on display – it makes a beautiful addition to any kitchen.

Another delicious recipe for which I have used this Olive Oil is a basic Olive Oil dip for bread like you find at restaurants. It goes great with a meal of pasta!

Simply pour a dab of oil in a small bowl, add a dash of salt and pepper, stir and you are good to go! Heat a loaf of French bread in the oven, slice it thinly, and then serve.
