Combine 2 parts Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil with 1 part balsamic vinegar. Whisk together and serve. To emulsify dab in a small amount of dijon mustard or light mayo and continue whisking. Oil and balsamic will become creamy in appearance. Refrigerate remaining amount for up to 3 days.

Combine equal parts Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil with equal parts balsamic vinegar. We recommend preparing just enough to cover the protein. Place in zip-lock bag and squeeze out air. Place in refrigerator for at least six hours.

Note: For Fish, Seafood (catches from the water) we recommend rubbing the Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil into the raw protein in the absence of the balsamic vinegar for approximately 30 minutes. We recommend NOT using balsamic during the marinade step to prevent the acidic balsamic from breaking down the delicate protein.  Instead, combine Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil and balsamic and use to drizzle over the finished product.

Applying heat to any oil or balsamic may slightly reduce the original flavor profile. To bring back any lost flavors prepare a small amount of fresh marinade and drizzle over the finished product.

Our Ultra Premium EVOO’s can be used in any recipe calling for an Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Using our products is super simple and if you can use a tablespoon, which we know you can, then you can master any application. Please keep in mind; flavors are interchangeable across our recipes.  For example, if a recipe calls for EVOO “X” but you only have EVOO “Y” we’d say go for it. Just try to stay within the same intensity profile (Mild, Medium or Robust).  Most importantly, experiment and have fun!
