Most Asked Questions

READ ALL FAQ
Should I store my olive oil in the refrigerator so that it lasts longer?

This is not at all necessary. A dark place without moisture is the optimal location to store your oil. Keep your extra bottles of Mt. Kofinas olive oil in a cool, dark place like a pantry closet. Sunlight and moisture are two things that can harm your olive oil. However, olive oil can be used as a natural preservative. By its nature, olive oil is fairly stable and certainly is delicious for many years.
 I forgot my olive oil in my freezing car overnight and now the olive oil is cloudy white. Did my olive oil spoil?

No, it just turned to a solid. After being in room temperature for a while it will return to it’s original state. Trust us, it will still taste great.
There’s pulp at the bottom of my olive oil, does this mean that it went bad?

No, our olive oil is natural and unfiltered so with time the fruit particles may settle. Mix the oil by tipping the bottle before using so it is evenly dispersed.
Can I cook with the olive oil?

Yes, people have been cooking with olive oil for thousands of years. As part of the Mediterranean diet this is the main ingredient and cooking method of most dishes. It also gives a great taste to the food and helps infuse flavors.
Can I fry with olive oil?

Yes, it is actually a great oil to use because it stands up well since the smoking temperature (380˚F – 400˚F) is above the ideal frying temperature (350˚F-365˚F). The reason olive oil is not commonly used in frying is based on cost. Out of the available oils, olive oil is among the most expensive, but also the most delicious.
If I fry with olive oil, will the olive oil change from a “good fat” to a “bad fat” ?

Extra virgin olive oil is a great source of poly-unsaturated fats. Simply frying with olive oil will not change the chemical composition. Your extra virgin olive oil will NOT change into a saturated fat, or a trans fat.

Butter Infused Olive Oil: A Delicious Dairy-Free Butter Substitute

Learn More

If you love the rich flavor of butter but want a healthier option, this one is worth keeping in your kitchen. Kofinas Butter Infused Olive Oil is a single-origin, monovarietal Koroneiki extra virgin olive oil from the Messara Valley in Crete, naturally infused with organic plant-based butter essence, no dairy and no artificial ingredients. Whether you are drizzling it over popcorn, finishing pasta, or brushing onto bread, this bottle makes everyday meals taste a little more delicious.

What Is Butter Olive Oil?

Butter olive oil is extra virgin olive oil that has been naturally infused with butter flavor. It gives you that rich, creamy taste without the dairy, saturated fat, or low smoke point that comes with traditional butter.

At Kofinas, the base oil matters just as much as the flavor. This oil starts with single-origin, monovarietal Koroneiki EVOO, meaning one olive variety, from one region, the Messara Valley in Crete. That is what separates it from most infused olive oils on the market.

It is a great option for anyone who loves butter but wants something dairy free, gluten free, or simply a little better for their daily diet. Vegetarians and vegans will find it fits right into their cooking routine too.

What Are the Ingredients in Butter Infused Olive Oil?

Simple and clean. Here is what goes into every bottle:

  • Single-Origin Monovarietal Koroneiki EVOO: Cold-pressed from olives hand-harvested in the Messara Valley, Crete
  • Organic Plant-Based Butter Essence: A natural butter flavor infusion, not an artificial additive or extract
  • No dairy, no preservatives, no fillers

The oil is infused in-house at the Kofinas Montgomery Infusion Kitchen in Cincinnati. Every batch is made with the same Koroneiki EVOO base that carries a polyphenol content of 500mg/kg and above, well beyond what most store-bought cooking oils offer.

What Does Butter Infused Olive Oil Taste Like?

The first thing you notice is how smooth it is. It has that warm, rich butter flavor you expect without the heaviness of melted butter sitting on top of your food.

On the palate it is creamy and round, with the natural fruitiness of Koroneiki EVOO coming through underneath. It does not taste artificial or waxy the way some butter substitutes can.

In cooking, it behaves like a high-quality olive oil. It handles heat well, coats food evenly, and leaves a golden, buttery finish on everything from popcorn to roasted veggies.

What Is Butter Infused Olive Oil Used For?

This is one of the most versatile oils in the Kofinas lineup. Anywhere a recipe calls for melted butter or a neutral cooking oil, this one steps in and adds a little more flavor.

Here are the best ways to use it:

  • Popcorn: Drizzle over fresh popped corn with a little salt. No butter explosions, no extra dish to clean.
  • Potatoes: Stir into mashed potatoes at the end for a smooth, buttery finish, or drizzle over baked potatoes before serving
  • Pasta: A light drizzle stirred through just before serving adds a wonderful buttery depth
  • Seafood: Brush over lobster, scallops, or fish before cooking or use as a finishing drizzle
  • Vegetables: Toss veggies in the oil before roasting for a golden, tasty coating or saute on medium heat for a buttery finish
  • Bread: Brush onto bread before toasting or dip straight in for a simple, delicious snack
  • Grilling meats: Brush over chicken, pork, or steak before grilling for a rich, golden finish

What Pairs Well With Butter Infused Olive Oil?

One of the best things about this oil is how well it plays with other flavors. Two pairings that work especially well are the White Peach White Balsamic Vinegar and the Champagne White Balsamic Vinegar.

The White Peach pairing is a natural fit for seafood and light finishing dishes. The floral, fruity notes of the white peach balsamic complement the creamy butter flavor without overpowering it.

The Champagne White Balsamic brings a crisp, slightly tangy contrast that works beautifully drizzled over vegetables, bread, or even a simple salad. Both pairings are available in the best selling olive oils lineup and make a great combination to have on hand.

Is Butter Infused Olive Oil a Good Butter Substitute for Baking?

Yes, and it works better than most people expect. When a recipe calls for melted butter, you can swap it for butter infused olive oil at a 1:1 ratio in most cases.

It keeps baked goods moist, adds a rich flavor, and works well in cakes, muffins, quick breads, and savory pastries. Because it is dairy free and gluten free, it also opens up recipes for people with dietary restrictions without changing the taste.

A few things to keep in mind when baking with it:

  • Works best in recipes that call for melted butter rather than creamed butter
  • Adds a subtle olive oil note in very delicate recipes, less noticeable in savory bakes
  • Use the same quantity the recipe calls for, no need to adjust the amount

The American Heart Association recommends replacing foods high in saturated fat with monounsaturated fats like olive oil to help lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. Swapping traditional butter for butter infused olive oil in your cooking and baking is a practical way to make that shift without giving up the flavor.

How to Store Butter Infused Olive Oil

Olive oil has been used as a natural preservative for thousands of years, so your bottle is more resilient than you might think. A few simple habits will keep the butter flavor at its best:

  • Keep moisture out: Moisture is the biggest threat to olive oil quality. Seal the cap well between uses and avoid introducing water or wet utensils into the bottle. A pour-spout helps here.
  • Store in a dark place: Light degrades the oil over time. A kitchen cabinet or pantry works perfectly, and dark glass bottles add another layer of protection.
  • Room temperature is best: No need to refrigerate. Cold temperatures cause condensation, which introduces moisture and can make the oil go rancid.
  • Away from direct heat: A bottle near the stovetop is fine if you use it often. The goal is regular use, not perfect isolation.
  • Shelf life: An unopened bottle stored correctly lasts 18-24 months. Once opened, enjoy it within 9-12 months for peak flavor and the full benefit of its polyphenols.

A good test: fresh butter infused olive oil should smell warm, rich, and creamy when you open it. If it smells flat or off, it is time to restock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is butter olive oil healthier?
Yes, in most cases. Extra virgin olive oil has around 14% saturated fat compared to butter which sits at about 63%. Kofinas Butter Infused EVOO carries a polyphenol content of 500mg/kg and above, natural antioxidants linked to reduced inflammation and better heart health. The American Heart Association notes that replacing foods high in saturated fat with monounsaturated fats like those in olive oil helps lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. It still has calories, so portion size matters, but as a daily cooking oil it is a stronger nutritional choice than traditional butter.

Can I cook with butter infused olive oil?
Yes. It has a smoke point of around 375-405°F, which makes it reliable for sauteing, roasting, and light frying. It will not burn the way real butter does at high heat, and the butter flavor stays consistent through the cooking process. It works well anywhere you would normally use melted butter or a regular cooking oil.

Is butter infused olive oil dairy free?
Yes. Despite the butter flavor, this butter infused oil contains no dairy. The flavor comes from an organic plant-based butter essence, not from milk or cream. It is suitable for dairy free, lactose intolerant, and vegan diets. Always check the label on any packaged product if you have a severe dairy allergy, but Kofinas Butter Infused Olive Oil is made without any animal-derived dairy ingredients.

What does butter infused olive oil taste like?
This butter flavored olive oil tastes smooth, rich, and creamy, very close to the flavor of real melted butter. The Koroneiki EVOO base adds a mild fruitiness underneath, but the butter flavor is what you notice most. It is not sharp, heavy, or artificial tasting. Most people are pleasantly surprised by how close it is to the real thing, especially on popcorn, pasta, and potatoes.

How long does butter infused olive oil last?
An unopened bottle stored in a dark place at room temperature lasts 18-24 months. Once opened, it is best enjoyed within 9-12 months for peak flavor and maximum health benefits. Keep it sealed between uses to prevent moisture from getting in, and store it away from direct sunlight. Trust your nose. Good butter infused olive oil smells warm, rich, and creamy.
