The Right Olive Oil For Every Use
At Catania Oils, we provide high-quality olive oils tailored to your needs. Whether you're finishing a dish or frying at high temperatures, selecting the right oil enhances flavor and performance.
Types of Olive Oil & Best Uses
| Type of Olive Oil | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) | Unrefined, cold-pressed, bold flavor. | Drizzling, finishing, dressings, & dipping |
| Classic Olive Oil | Sometimes called pure olive oil. Classic olive oil is pressed, may be lightly refined or filtered. It has a milder taste and higher heat stability than EVOO or virgin olive oil. | Roasting, baking, everyday cooking |
| Light Olive Oil | Not lighter in calories than other olive oils! Light olive oil is refined and has a neutral, or light, taste, while still retaining the benefits of olive oil. | High-heat cooking, baking, and frying |
| Olive Pomace Oil | Extracted from pressed olive pulp, highly refined, olive pomace oil has the least olive flavor, but the highest heat stability. | Deep frying, food manufacturing |
| Olive Oil Blends | Any type of olive oil, blended with canola, soy, or other plant-based oils. Olive oil blends balance olive oil’s benefits with the stability of commodity oils. | Extremely versatile & high-heat stable |
