Flavour
Drizzling olive oil at the end preserves its full intensity, making it one of the few ingredients that delivers a fresh, vibrant burst at the moment it hits the plate. Fruity, grassy, peppery, or buttery, each drizzle adds a concentrated boost that hasn't been dulled by heat or diluted by other ingredients.
It can add bitterness or pepperiness to complement or cut through a dish, subtly enhance umami-rich foods like tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese, or cured meats, and bridge flavours within a dish so it feels more harmonious. Olive oil also balances acidity and sweetness, mellowing sour or sugary notes to create a more full-bodied and satisfying taste.
