If you’ve been on the internet for more than 5 seconds lately, you’ve probably heard about Graza olive oil. The brand has seemingly overnight gathered a cult-like following, full of foodies, influencers, and graphic designers who are a sucker for sublime packaging. You may be wondering… what’s all the commotion about olive oil? What makes other olive oils more or less superior? We’re here to spill the tea and put you on why we think Graza reigns supreme.

Benefits of Using Graza Olive Oil in Cooking

It starts with exceptional olive oil that is still as accessible and affordable as what you’ve been seeing on the supermarket shelves for years.

How Graza Compares to Other Cooking Oils

Most olive oils in the United States, including a lot of extra virgin olive oil, is blended from low quality oils. Graza uses 100% Picual olives from Jaen, Spain. This is a region where over half of the world’s olive oil is produced! Drizzle and Sizzle are both made with Picual olives, which have the highest polyphenol counts of any varietal. Polyphenols are tough antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress in the body, supporting healthy skin and helping aid against inflammatory conditions such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema. You can trust you’re only getting the good stuff with Graza Drizzle and Sizzle – they never add any other ingredients or chemicals to alter the taste or smell. Graza’s olive oil is bottled in a no fuss squeeze bottle, and it’s eye catching look is enough to want to leave it out on your kitchen counter instead of hiding it in the cupboard. When you start to run low, you can snag the Graza Drizzle and Sizzle refills, whose packaging mirrors the likes of classic beer cans complete with their signature label. 100% recyclable and easy to pour into your squeeze bottles when you need a refresh, the brand’s main priority is all about continuing to cook up your favorite meals without the stress.

Using Graza as a Finishing Oil

A drizzle of good olive oil is the icing on the cake if you will, something that can be easily skipped over if you don’t know how much of an impact it can make. Drizzle is your wingwoman, always looking out for you to make sure you’re in good hands. The process to make Drizzle differs a bit from Sizzle. The olives are hand picked in October, before they have fully ripened, which allows more robust and bold flavors to truly shine to create the perfect finishing oil. Picture this: a fountain of shimmering liquid gold over vanilla bean ice cream and sea salt flakes (trust us and the process here). A bountiful summer salad with tons of crunchy pickled cucumbers, red onions, and slices of juicy grilled chicken with a hefty sprinkle of the finishing oil. The options are endless! In Phoenix, temperatures are high and boredom can strike staying cooped up at home in the A/C. We encourage you to get creative in the kitchen, living out your wildest Food Network dreams knowing that Drizzle has got your back.
