ElOlivo review:

This is a delicate extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) with amazingly fresh green aromas such as banana, apple, and almond. It is sweet and well-balanced with a slight spiciness at the end. We were amazed by the fresh aromas of this oil; this is what makes this EVOO exceptional. We use it only raw, for dressing salads, soups, or making sauces. We also tried it with our homemade Basque Cheesecake, and it was delicious. We also use this oil for making Basil Pesto. It pairs perfectly with the pine nuts and Grana Padano.
