Description: 

You might be surprised to find that extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is just as useful in baking as it is in cooking. It can be substituted in the place of butter to make recipes healthier and with a distinctively smooth and light flavor, as you’ll see in this recipe. Add chopped pistachios and lemon zest for even more Mediterranean flavor.
