Start by simply substituting Ultra Premium Olive Oil when you would otherwise use butter – on toast, popcorn, and for cooking. Consider trying our Butter flavoured olive oil. Yes! It is safe to cook with olive oil and when you substitute oil for butter, you can use less! See our FAQs below for more details.
