Roasted Garlic Olive Oil

Our Roasted Garlic Olive Oil is one of our most popular products! The smooth, mellow flavour adds just the right touch to bread dips, and a great flavour when drizzled over hot pizza or pasta. It is ideal for grilling and stir-frying, and perfect for roasting vegetables to use in our Frittata recipe, or as a side dish.
