5 Creative Ways to Elevate Your Fall Dishes with Infused Olive Oils

As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp in Pennsylvania, fall invites us to savor hearty, comforting dishes that celebrate the season’s bounty. At Humming Hills Farm, our small-batch infused olive oils—crafted with natural ingredients and a passion for flavor—offer the perfect way to elevate your autumn meals. From vibrant salads to cozy roasts, our Blood Orange, Jalapeno Burst, and Ember Blend oils bring a burst of creativity to your kitchen. Here are five inspired ways to use our infused olive oils to transform your fall dishes, plus tips to make your meals unforgettable.
 
1. Brighten Fall Salads with Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil
Nothing says fall like a vibrant salad packed with seasonal ingredients like roasted butternut squash, candied pecans, and tart cranberries. Our Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil adds a citrusy, slightly sweet note that ties these flavors together beautifully.
 
Try This: Toss mixed greens with roasted squash, goat cheese, and a sprinkle of pecans. Drizzle with Blood Orange Olive Oil and a splash of our Fig Balsamic Vinegar for a dressing that’s equal parts bright and bold. The oil’s natural citrus infusion cuts through the richness, creating a balanced, farm-fresh salad.
 
Pro Tip: Warm the oil slightly before drizzling to enhance its aroma and bring out the citrus notes.
 
2. Add a Spicy Kick to Soups with Jalapeno Burst Olive Oil
Fall is soup season, and our Jalapeno Burst Infused Olive Oil is your secret weapon for adding warmth and depth to cozy bowls. This oil, infused with just the right amount of heat, complements creamy soups like pumpkin or sweet potato without overpowering them.
 
Try This: Ladle a bowl of roasted pumpkin soup and finish it with a drizzle of Jalapeno Burst Olive Oil. Swirl it in for a subtle spice that enhances the soup’s sweetness. Garnish with fresh cilantro or toasted pumpkin seeds for texture.
 
Pro Tip: Pair this with a crusty bread dipped in our Garlic Infused Olive Oil for a complete, soul-warming meal.
 
3. Elevate Roasted Vegetables with Ember Blend Olive Oil
Roasted root vegetables—think carrots, parsnips, and beets—are fall staples, and our Ember Blend Infused Olive Oil brings a smoky, earthy depth that makes them unforgettable. This oil, crafted with a blend of natural spices, adds a campfire-like warmth to your dishes.
 
Try This: Toss chopped root vegetables in Ember Blend Olive Oil, season with sea salt and rosemary, or our Rosemary-Thyme Finishing Salt, and roast at 400°F until caramelized. Serve on one of our handcrafted, logo-engraved cutting boards for a rustic presentation that’s perfect for gatherings.
 
Pro Tip: Brush a little extra Ember Blend Oil on the vegetables just before serving to amplify the smoky flavor.
 
4. Create a Fall-Inspired Marinade for Grilled Meats
Grilling doesn’t end with summer, especially when you’re using our infused olive oils to create bold, seasonal marinades. The citrusy brightness of Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil or the spicy kick of Jalapeno Burst makes for a marinade that transforms pork chops, chicken, or even wild game.
 
Try This: Mix Blood Orange Olive Oil with a touch of our Truffle-Infused Balsamic Vinegar, garlic, and fresh thyme for a marinade that tenderizes and flavors pork chops. Grill until golden and serve with roasted apples for a true taste of fall.
 
Pro Tip: Let the meat marinate overnight in the fridge to let the oil’s flavors fully infuse.
 
5. Drizzle Over Desserts for a Surprising Twist
Yes, infused olive oils can elevate desserts too! Our Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil adds a sophisticated, citrusy note to fall sweets, making them feel both indulgent and fresh.
 
Try This: Drizzle Blood Orange Olive Oil over a slice of warm apple tart or a scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with crushed walnuts. The oil’s subtle sweetness enhances the dessert’s flavors without overpowering them. For an extra touch, pair with a splash of our Fig Balsamic for a sweet-tart contrast.
 
Pro Tip: Use a light hand when drizzling to keep the dessert balanced, and serve on one of our artisanal cutting boards for a stunning presentation.
