Mantova Organic Flavored Extra Virgin Olive Oil Variety Pack – Garlic, Basil, Chili, and Lemon (8.5 oz Bottles, Pack of 4) – Perfect for Cooking, Dressing, and a Great Gift Item

Excellent flavor! It has a high olive oil quality, its fresh, and very spicy!

Delicious oils! They really elevate whatever dish you make.

Used everyone of these for different foods and cooking

I have to rate in accordance with prior purchase. This was a buy again purchase. I throughly enjoyed the versatility of the oils. Although fine to cook with, their presence on the pallete is best when used as a finishing oil. Think breads, dipping, beans, a touch in soups etc. Expensive for everyday use, but a layer of flavor to liven a mundane meal.

Great for spicing up your cooking abilities!!

Childddd I was shocked with these! Organic AND at this price?! They bring so much more flavor to my food than I expected! This means I get to cook the same old redundant dishes and give them a nuanced flavor change all while being lazy and not switching up the seasoning! I love that you get so much variety with just one kit. I was a little worried that they would each taste relatively the same(similar to infused water) but each one is VERY different from one another. This kit has been an element that has helped me to cook at home more often. These oils would be a great gift even for someone who doesn't cook a lot to help them feel more experimental. I can also use these oils pair great with balsamic and Italian herbs when eaten with bread like I'm at a bougie restaurant! Alternatively, they can be used as a base oil for pan frying because of their high-temperature smoke point or as a spray-on oil for foods in an air fryer! These are definitely a staple in my kitchen now!

Since the 80s when good olive oil became sort of a mainstream buzz I have tried so many. From supermarket varieties, to William Sonoma varieties to flavored varieties given to me as gifts, they all just tasted sort of musty/funky to me. Then I began eating very low carb and appreciating quality fats in my diet. Then came COVID19 and being confined to doing my marketing online: the virus-related "shut down" has been revealing in many ways both horrible and good, but one of the absolute treasures I have come across is Mantova olive oil. I bought the four flavor pack: very well packed, just enough flavor to taste the basil, lemon, garlic, and chili. The oil is light, fresh, almost tangy. I make my own salad dressing, but the oil is so light you really don't need to add anything but a little sea salt and whatever acid (vinegar, citrus) you like. I'm buying another set as a gift for my neighbor. Generations of his family have owned & run a large spice company. He is going to love this. I highly recommend this olive oil. It is worth every penny. Congratulations on finding something fabulous!

Unfortunately, I have not had an opportunity to try the Mantova Organic Flavored Balsamic Condiments, Pear, Raspberry, Fig, and Pomegranate. Because I did something that I didn't have my full attention on...namely, I threw away my girlfriends collection of uber-expensive oils and vinegars (I was under the impression all, if not most, of the bottles contained oil[s] and/or vinegar[s] which because of their age, had spoiled. Of course, this upset my girlfriend enormously, not only because of her economic loss incurred as her debt which I was now responsible for, but primarily because I had thrown all these items away without consulting or discussing my intentions with her first (a BIG no-no when you are in a loving relationship). So, in order to replace the thrown away items; to replenish the empty cabinet in my kitchen where the oil & vinegars are kept; to set (or rather "re-set") the good karma which ALWAYS exists between my fair lady and myself, and most of all to present a total SURPRISE for my beautiful other half, I searched throughout Amazon for a suitable replacement. Of course, with such a huge selection of quality and price range for guidance, this proved no ordinary task. Plus, I was unfamiliar with all of the companies pitching their products, so all I had to go on were Amazon's customer reviews. Well, my girlfriend was taken completely surprised; she LOVED her gift; and the fact I had just demonstrated to her that her feelings are of the highest concern[s] to me, led me to believe I had made the correct choice. My girlfriend is practically a gourmet cook, and she really knows her stuff, and way, around a kitchen. She has since commented to me, on several occasions, how happy she is with the high quality of my selection. Some of the exotic glass bottles of Extra Virgin Olive Oil which I had thrown away were over $80 retail, and the remaining units were not that far behind as far as their retail value[s] were concerned, so the fiscal amount of my faux pas added up to a sizeable amount. But, I guarantee...when she gives something her stamp of approval, it means the item is deemed high quality and has passed her test.
