Is this oil good for cooking or only for finishing?

Both. Its robust body holds up to roasting, grilling and sautéing, and it also works as a finishing drizzle where you want a peppery kick.

How does it differ from a mild or delicate olive oil?

It is more bitter and pungent, with a grassy, peppery finish. Mild oils are softer and better for baking, fish and subtle dressings.

Yes. Cobram Estate makes this from California-grown olives and labels it as 100% California extra virgin olive oil.

Keep it in a cool, dark cupboard, tightly capped, away from the stove. Heat and light speed up flavor loss, so use it within a few months of opening.

Cobram Estate describes its oils as cold-pressed and early-harvest, which helps preserve the peppery, fresh character.

Yes, if you like a bold oil. Its grassy, peppery flavor is a good match for crusty bread, though some find it strong on its own.
