What Is a Finishing Oil?

A spoonful over warm eggs, grilled fish or a bowl of soup changes the whole plate.

Finishing oil vs. the oil you cook with

Cook with any oil. Finish with ARLO. Heat dulls delicate flavor, so the oil in the pan is there to do a job. The oil you drizzle at the table is there for taste, which is why it is worth choosing one with real character.

Why roasted argan oil works as a finishing oil

ARLO is cold pressed from roasted argan nuts in Morocco's Souss Valley. Roasting is what gives it a warm, nutty, toasty flavor, a little like toasted sesame or hazelnut but its own thing. It is USDA Organic and Kosher, with one ingredient: argan. That flavor is the point, so you use it where you can taste it.

8 easy ways to finish with ARLO

1. Eggs: a drizzle over fried eggs or shakshuka.
2. Fish: over baked sea bass right before serving.
3. Salads: in a simple lemon dressing, or over a watermelon and feta salad.
4. Toast: on avocado toast with flaky salt.
5. Bread: in a small dish with salt and za'atar for dipping.
6. Soups and grains: a swirl over lentil soup, couscous or roasted vegetables.
7. Fruit: over sliced oranges with cinnamon.
8. Dessert: over vanilla ice cream with a pinch of sea salt.

How much to use

Start with about a teaspoon per plate. ARLO is full of flavor, so a little goes far. One 165 mL bottle covers a lot of dinners.
