Baking with Extra Virgin Olive Oil as a healthy alternative to butter - at Bella Oliva Taproom

The holidays are just around the corner.  The smell of freshly baked cookies, muffins, and pies will soon fill our homes..... as well as our bellies!
Did you know that in any recipe that calls for butter you can substitute EVOO in its place?  Use our  Conversion Chart  to see how to make the substitution for a healthier baking option.

You can also substitute EVOO in any recipe that calls for vegetable oil, canola oil or other oils.  Just use the same amount the recipe recommends. 

One of our more popular recipes has been our brownies made with our Fused Blood Orange EVOO.  Using the Fused Blood Orange EVOO transforms an ordinary brownie into something special..... always a crowd pleaser!

We also have Organic Butter EVOO which is great for baking.  Two recipes made in our Test Kitchen for Chocolate Chip Cookies and Zucchini/Carrot Muffins.   Both were a big hit with our taste testers.

Making corn muffins?  Use our Organic Basil EVOO or Chipotle EVOO to give them an extra flavor boost.  Add our Fused Lemon EVOO in your favorite Blueberry Muffin recipe.  The options are endless AND flavorful!

Visit the store and our helpful staff will guide you in the right direction for your baking enjoyment.
