Blood Orange Fused Olive Oil

Bright, citrusy and naturally aromatic, our Blood Orange Fused Olive Oil brings together premium extra virgin olive oil and fresh blood oranges for a beautifully balanced oil that is both fruity and savory.

Unlike an infused olive oil, where flavor is added after the olive oil has been produced, this traditional agrumato-style fused olive oil is made by crushing fresh oranges together with olives during the milling process. The result is a vibrant olive oil with the unmistakable aroma and flavor of fresh citrus woven throughout the oil rather than simply added afterward.

The flavor begins with smooth, fruity extra virgin olive oil followed by juicy orange, fresh citrus zest and a gently sweet finish. It's bright without being sugary, making it equally at home in vinaigrettes, marinades and roasted vegetables as it is in cakes, brownies and other baked goods.

If you're looking for the best orange olive oil for salads, baking, marinades, roasted vegetables or pairing with balsamic vinegar, Blood Orange Fused Olive Oil is one of the most versatile flavored olive oils to keep in your kitchen.

What Is Fused Olive Oil?

Fused olive oil and infused olive oil aren't quite the same thing.

With a fused olive oil, fresh fruit, herbs or peppers are crushed together with olives during the olive-milling process. This traditional method allows the natural oils and flavors of the added ingredient to become integrated with the olive oil as it is produced.

With an infused olive oil, flavor is introduced to finished extra virgin olive oil after pressing.

Both methods can produce delicious flavored olive oils, but fusion creates an especially fresh, vibrant flavor—which is why citrus fruits are so well suited to the process.

What Does Blood Orange Fused Olive Oil Taste Like?

Blood Orange Fused Olive Oil tastes like smooth, fruity olive oil layered with the flavor and aroma of fresh orange. It has noticeable citrus character and a touch of natural fruitiness without tasting sugary or artificial.

That balance is what makes it useful beyond salads. It can move easily between savory dishes such as salmon, chicken and roasted vegetables and sweeter recipes such as olive oil cake, granola and chocolate desserts.

Is Orange Olive Oil Good for Cooking?

Yes. Orange fused olive oil can be used for everyday cooking, roasting, sautéing, marinades, dressings and baking.

For the strongest fresh-orange aroma, use some of the oil as a finishing drizzle after cooking as well. A small amount over roasted vegetables, grilled chicken or seafood just before serving brings the citrus character forward beautifully.

A Bright, Versatile Olive Oil for Every Season

Blood Orange Fused Olive Oil may taste like sunshine in a bottle, but it isn't limited to summer cooking.

Use it with fresh greens and berries in spring, grilled chicken and seafood in summer, squash and root vegetables in fall, and cranberry, chocolate and hearty roasted dishes throughout winter.

From a quick weeknight vinaigrette to a blood orange olive oil cake, it's an easy bottle to reach for whenever a recipe needs a little brightness.
