Tips

Almost any recipe calling for butter can be made healthier by substituting olive oil. Use this chart to guide you in using olive oil in cakes, breads, brownies, cookies, dips and sauces that usually call for butter. Ah love offers a variety of olive oils to ensure you choose the right flavor for your recipe. Most cakes benefit from a fruity, mild olive oil, such as Moroccan or a flavored olive oil, such as Blood Orange or Meyer Lemon. Breads and heavier recipes like brownies can hold up a strong, bolder olive oil, like our Spanish Arobsana. To maintain the taste of butter, but the health benefits of olive oil, try our Butter Olive Oil; naturally flavored to taste like a balanced combination of fruity olive oil and creamy butter.

You can make your own table spread by mixing
1 1/4 Cup Butter, room temp
3/4 Cup Ah love Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Beat butter in food processor or mixer until soft. Gradually add the olive oil. When it is completely blended it will be pourable. Pour into containers, cover and store in fridge. It will harden as it cools. Use as you would butter.  See our Recipes for more ideas.
