Badia Olive Oil Extra Virgin PET 250ml Pack of 3
Three 250ml bottles of Badia extra virgin olive oil — the size most Cuban-American kitchens actually buy, because one bottle rarely lasts a month.
Between the sofrito on Monday, the marinade for Thursday's pollo, and the drizzle over Sunday's yuca con mojo, olive oil moves fast in a working Latin kitchen. The PET bottles handle the daily reach-and-pour without the breakage risk of glass — and the three-pack means one stays on the stove, one in the pantry, one ready to gift to a daughter who just moved into her first apartment.
Common Uses: sofrito base, camarones al ajillo, arroz amarillo, marinades with naranja agria and ajo, finishing on tostones, and raw drizzling over salads and bread.
Cultural Context: olive oil in the Cuban kitchen traces back through Spanish colonial cooking — it's why so many Cuban dishes carry that Mediterranean backbone underneath the Caribbean ingredients. Badia, founded in Miami in 1967 by a Cuban exile family, became the diaspora's default brand for exactly this reason: familiar, accessible, priced to use generously.
Pairs With: Badia comino, sazón tropical, oregano, bay leaves, and any pantry-restocking order alongside rice, beans, and adobo.
Hard to find in this multipack outside South Florida groceries. Ships nationwide to Cuban-American households restocking the everyday pantry.
