Hello Samantha!
So any really good olive oil can be a “finishing” oil, a finishing oil refers to any flavored oil or undiluted olive oil. They are used to give your bread/salad/dipping oils/dressings a hint or an essence of whatever flavor you are using. Using an expensive olive oil that is not flavored will add a peppery flavor, a lemon infused oil will add a lemony flavor, and so on.
Hope this helps!

This looks and sounds amazing but what is the difference between “finishing” olive oil and regular olive oil?
