This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Moms Meet (momsmeet.com), but all opinions are 100% mine.

In honor of the Flavor Your Life campaign, I prepared this Pasta alla Carbonara with Pancetta using ingredients that include Le Stagioni d’ Italia Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

The Flavor Your Life campaign’s purpose is to educate North America consumers about authentic extra virgin olive oil from Europe.

Le Stagioni d’ Italia is a brand of extra virgin olive oil that offers the chance for you to create authentic Italian foods. Their 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil is harvested in Italy and is processed in their state-of-the-art facility in Northern Italy.

  4. Drain pasta and transfer to a large sauté pan previously heated over medium heat.

I have always used 100% extra virgin olive oil in my cooking because I believe in its benefits and here are some tidbits about 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

  • It is made through a process known as first cold pressed olive oil. It’s pressing olives to extract the oil without heat or chemicals.
  • It is virtually free of acidity – below 0.8%.
  • The oil won’t receive an Extra Virgin rating if the panel expert tasters don’t taste the signature fruity taste and harmonious balance.
  • Suitable for baking and cooking because of its 400°F smoking point.
  • Store in a dark and cool (around 57°F) place and should be used within six months after opening.

For me, using an authentic 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil surely makes a big difference in a dish.

    This is such a great recipe, my eldest’s favourite. I do use bacon that I’ve removed the fat from for a healthier version.
