This giveaway is closed. The winner of the Mediterranean Inspired Gift Pack is Shelly T!
Crisco wants to inspire you to cook. If you are a home cook, you can enter to win a trip to for two to Italy!
Crisco Olive oil is looking for you original Mediterranean inspired recipes and an essay of 100 words or less describing how Crisco Olive Oil inspired the recipe at www.getinspiredwithcrisco.com. The recipes must include one of the three varieties of Crisco Olive Oil and be submitted in the following catergories: Crisco 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Crisco Pure Olive Oil and Crisco Light Tasting Olive Oil. Entries will be based on taste, creativity, ease of preparation and appearance.
I recently tried all three of these olive oils. I really enjoy the extra virgin olive oil and pure olive oil. I find the pure olive oil works best for sautéing and cooking. The extra virgin is great for a salad. I don’t particularly use the light olive oil – but it is good for baking or frying.
Giveaway
One reader will win a Mediterranean Inspired Gift Pack including Crisco Olive Oil and Mediterranean inspired kitchen items from Williams & Sonoma.

Jill Myrick says
We use olive oil for frying meats.
But use it most of all for rubbing on meats and seafood such as salmon before adding seasonings and placing them on the grill. It helps the seasonings to adhere and keeps the meat and seafood from sticking to the grill.
