There's still a bit left, like I said we don't use it much, mostly in a homemade salad dressing (rarely) or a drizzle over grilled vegetables. What else should I be using it for?
I like it on fruit...strawberries, watermelon, other melons. Bread, glaze is good on pizza, cheese. I love it with a good aged parm.

Just make sure it is the aged The regular Colavita stuff is garbage.
