My Land Olive Oil Review #2

 

This is the second review of My Land olive oil. This time they sent a tin can of olive oil and a bottle of olive oil "Epidaurus". Both are again made with manaki variety olives, that originate from their estate, that grow their own olives.

 

This USDA Certified Organic Greek EVO olive oil has a delicious flavor. It softly modifies recipes and treats your meals with a naturally mild acidity, allowing you to eat guilt-free. My Land takes pleasure in the freshness of its oil, which is derived from family-run enterprises in Epidaurus olive fields. These Manaki olives are grown in a beautiful environment and picked according to the seasonal cycle. They're nutrient-dense and flavorful, and they're ready for you to enjoy. You'll never go back to diluted, multi-sourced olive oil afterward.

 

Greek Origins introduces an extra virgin olive oil sourced from selected Epidaurus olive orchards. It is a limited edition early harvest oil made entirely of the Manaki varietal. Epidaurus, in the Peloponnese, is recognized for its rich history and has long been known for its superb olive oil, a consequence of its warm temperature and natural springs.

Again my meals for the day were mouth-watering, and the My Land olive oil was the star in each dish, including dessert.

Breakfast was the first dish to have My Land olive oil as the main ingredient for flavor. It was a delicious olive oil and maple granola, that gave us our start to the day. Once you have granola you made yourself, you never want to go back to the store brand, especially one made with My Land olive oil. The taste and aroma of My Land "Epidaurus" olive oil is so amazing. It is an extra virgin olive oil that is cold-pressed and unfiltered Greek olive oil. From homemade granola to salad dressing My Land olive oil is the perfect culinary olive oil of choice. The granola with My Land olive oil was rich and bold, with notes of fruit. You can also replace using butter in your recipes with My Land olive oil, due to its buttery sweetness.

 

Ingredients  

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 1/4 cups raw pecans, left whole or coarsely chopped

1 cup hulled raw pumpkin seeds

1 cup hulled raw sunflower seeds

1 cup unsweetened coconut chips

3/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 cup My Land extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

 

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, syrup, My Land olive oil, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.

On a rimmed baking sheet, spread the ingredients in an equal layer. Cook for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes until the granola is toasted. Retrieve the granola from the oven and season to taste with salt. Before serving, allow it to cool fully.

For lunch, I decided to make a wonderful tasting peach, tomato Caprese salad with My Land olive oil as the star once again. My Land organic olive oil provides a nice accent. It's high in antioxidants, which assist your body in function and performance. The best part is that because this olive oil is so pure, you may use less of it in your cooking without compromising taste or function. The hue of this is indicative of olive oil. Greenish yellow in color. There is no sourness. This is a really smooth olive oil with a wonderful buttery flavor that does not overpower your food. With just a little salt and freshly ground pepper, and My Land olive oil, the rich taste makes it an excellent option for dressings, marinades, sauces, roasting veggies, pouring on anything from pizza to popcorn, and bread dipping.

While pouring the oil, a plastic insert in the aperture allows for some accuracy.

 

Ingredients

1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar

1 garlic clove, minced

3 Tbsp brown sugar

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp salt

2 fresh peaches, cut into 1-inch pieces

2 lbs tomatoes, preferably heirloom, cut into bite-size pieces (remove seeds and juices if plentiful)

4 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped

8 oz fresh mozzarella cut into bite-size pieces

fine sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, for serving

 

Inside a large mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, garlic, sugar, olive oil, and salt until well combined.

Toss in the peaches, tomatoes, and basil with the My Land olive oil.

Incorporate the mozzarella. To taste, season with fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

Alternatively, slice the peaches, tomatoes, and mozzarella and arrange them on a dish before drizzling with dressing. Chamomile blooms can also be seen on the salad. They are okay to eat, but we only use them for decorating.

The main course was some fresh salmon with dill, lemon, and My Land olive oil. My Land olive oil does not have a strong pepper aftertaste or bitterness like some other olive oils, and I believe it would complement a wide range of recipes since it does not overshadow the underlying delicate taste of the food. My Land Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a deep flavor, yet it doesn't seem heavy to me. The hue is green, and the scent is that of fresh olives. I like that it's made with organic olives, so I don't have to stress about pesticide residue. The olives add a subtle tartness to the flavor, but it's still incredibly smooth. It's ideal for cooking or finishing. The standard appears to be pretty high.  

 

What you will need for a dish:

One 1 1/2-pound salmon fillet, or two 12-ounce fillets, preferably wild-caught

1 tablespoon My Land olive oil

Salt and fresh ground black pepper

1 lemon, cut into slices

3 to 4 sprigs of fresh dill, plus more for serving

1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon

 

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Season both sides of the salmon lightly with salt and pepper. Distribute lemon slices and fresh herbs on the bottom of a baking dish big enough to contain the salmon, then arrange the salmon, skin-side down, on top of the lemon and herbs. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil after pouring in the wine or stock. Cook the salmon for 12 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the fish flakes and white bubbles emerge on the top. Monitor the salmon after 10 minutes to check how it is doing.

The easiest technique to avoid overcooking is to use an internal thermometer to check the temperature of the salmon. The thickest section of the salmon should be 125 degrees F. Remove the salmon from the oven and cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes (the fish will continue to cook during this time). Garnish with a sprinkling of fresh herbs on top.

My Land olive oil is also great for desserts. My Land Organic Olive Oil has a very light pleasant flavor. It will create a very moist and flavorful bundt cake or any cake you use it in. My Land olive oil is a very great quality olive oil, and you taste the love that went into the process with the first taste. The taste is quite round and moderate. The body is medium-full. It dresses beautifully and has a lot of fruit flavor on the palate. My Land olive oil was the star in my olive oil cranberry bundt cake.

 

6 egg whites

2 cups white sugar

1 cup olive oil

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup chopped cranberries

 

Heat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch Bundt pan with cooking spray and flour.

Inside a mixing basin, whip the egg whites until firm. Add the sugar and continue to beat until frothy. Add the olive oil and stir to combine. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves in a separate basin. Alternately, fold in the egg white mixture and the buttermilk until creamy. Combine the cranberries with a spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.
