Great food starts with great ingredients and the quality of the olive oil you use will determine the overall flavor of any dish. Olive oil should be thought of as a seasoning and an ingredient. Look for olive oil bottled in dark glass with the harvest date on the label and store away from heat and light – resist the temptation to keep it next to your range.
