🌿 Special Blend – Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil (600 mg/kg)
Special Blend is a Croatian extra virgin olive oil with 600 mg/kg polyphenols, offering a mild, smooth flavour suitable for everyday cooking and general kitchen use. Cold-pressed and fresh, it provides natural quality well above standard supermarket oils, making it the perfect workhorse oil for those who appreciate authentic Mediterranean flavour without overwhelming intensity.
With a balanced, approachable character and gentle peppery notes, this oil brings the essence of Dalmatian groves to your daily meals. It's versatile enough for both raw and cooked applications, delivering consistent quality whether you're finishing a dish or cooking at moderate heat.
Perfect pairings:
- Creamy mushroom soup, wild mushroom risotto, or truffle pasta
- Grilled and roasted red meats, lamb chops, or duck breast
- Baked salmon, trout, or seared tuna
- Strong cheeses, like aged sheep's milk cheese or mature cheddar
- Roasted root vegetables, aubergine, or courgette
- Pasta with creamy sauces, carbonara, or porcini tagliatelle
- Oven-roasted potatoes, frittatas, or quiches
And for a simple pleasure: dip freshly baked sourdough or focaccia in this oil for a burst of rich, peppery Dalmatian flavour.
Wine pairings:
Pairs beautifully with full-bodied whites like Croatian Pošip, southern Rhône blends, or creamy Chardonnays. Its versatility also makes it a natural companion to medium-bodied reds when paired with heartier dishes.
