La La Lemons (+ Recipes)
Infused olive oils are a great way to add layers of flavor to a dish, and can include herbs, garlic, and citrus, such as lemon. The best lemon olive oil is made by including lemon with the olives when the olives are cold-pressed for their oil.
Lemon-infused olive oil is fabulous to use in a salad dressing but is also nice to have on hand to simply drizzle over grilled vegetables, chicken, or fish. It's also delicious drizzled over fresh goat cheese or even plain whole milk yogurt or lemon sorbet.
Brightland LUCID Artisanal Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a 100% lemon olive oil lovingly blended with lemon and early-harvest Frantoio olives grown on small family farms in California’s Central Coast. These olives are cold-pressed by a master miller within 90 minutes of harvest for freshness and flavor.
In addition to the above, the below are two recipes Brightland shared to show off LUCID’s lemony, buttery flavors.
LUCID Horseradish & Beet Yogurt Dip
LUCID Avolgomeno Soup
Curious about the artwork on the bottle? LUCID's label was crafted in collaboration with Amsterdam-based artist B.D. Graft. Known for his series “Add Yellow,"" Graft worked closely with Brightland to create an eye-catching label that expresses their shared vision for Brightland's first artist label bottle.
A collage of red, navy, lavender and bold brush strokes with oil pastels and acrylic are punctuated by a single lemon, a nod to Graft’s series that addresses artistic ownership with his addition of yellow to renowned pieces. LUCID’s color palette compliments the label design of Brightland’s classic EVOO blends, revealing similar inspiration from Matisse’s cutouts.
