Has anyone tried cooking with Croatian olive oil? I heard it's really good for preparing Mediterranean dishes.

[Admin_croatia]

Hi Lisa! Absolutely! Croatian olive oil is renowned for its quality and flavor. It’s often used in Mediterranean cooking, adding richness to dishes. When choosing olive oil, look for labels indicating it’s from Croatia, as they often highlight single-origin oils which are typically superior. You can use it for salad dressings, drizzling over grilled veggies, or even for dipping bread. It can elevate your Croatian dishes significantly!
