Olive Oil suggested uses
We are often asked for suggestions for where to use our olive oil.
Our response is invariably – wherever you use a good quality olive oil (substitute everywhere), except when creating dishes with a very delicate flavour, due to the delightful robustness of our oil.
Contemporary Australian Cuisine and lifestyles are moving towards a reduction in the use of saturated fats. Our olive oil, rich in mono-unsaturated fats and anti-oxidants, provides the perfect alternative.
ASHBOLT Olive Oil serving suggestions
- On salads everyday
- On your morning toast with sliced tomatoes and cracked pepper and sea salt
- As a dipping oil, with or without dukka or freshly ground sea salt
- In place of butter (high in saturated fat)
- A drizzle on steamed vegies just before serving
- On roasted vegies for a healthier and more flavoursome twist
- For roasting cherry tomatoes in the oven with garlic, rosemary and olive oil – see below
- In salad rolls for lasting flavour in the mouth
- On pasta – a speedy dinner is crushed garlic, basil or other herb, roasted cherry tomatoes, tossed into a hot pot of pasta.
- Add ASHBOLT Olive Oil, parmesan and serve as a special ‘finish’ to a dinner party soup.

ASHBOLT Elderflower Drinks
ASHBOLT Elderflower Suggestions
Elderflower Sparkling: Serve chilled in champagne glasses for the whole family. Add gin or vodka for an alcoholic twist or try 50:50 with champagne or white wine.
For non-alcoholic drinks: Mix about 1 in 10 (or to taste) with sparkling or still water and serve in champagne glasses for a delicious and sophisticated alternative to alcohol.
Delicious in Desserts
- Use Elderflower Concentrate neat as a garnish on desserts, or pureed with dark berries
- Drizzle over ice-cream, plain yoghurt and pancakes
- Add a ‘zing’ to fruit salad
- Use in sorbets or jellies – the sparkling can be substituted for champagne in jellies.
- We recommend a couple of drops of Elderflower Concentrate added to ASHBOLT olive oil for an amazing salad dressing
- Pour a little Concentrate down the back of a salmon for a truly delicious flavour.
- Help to plump up dried fruit. Add to ice-cream.
