In our cooking, it should be used raw at the end, directly on our plate. In pastry preparations it is advised to replace butter with a delicate flavoured olive oil. As a general rule, it is recommended to replace animal fat with vegetable fat, such as extra virgin olive oil. In frying we use it unconditionally, on the one hand because of its resistance to high temperatures and on the other because it creates a crunchy crust on the outside to the ingredient that enters the pan while preserving it deliciously juicy on the inside.<\/h4>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243;
