FOOD PAIRING with EXTRA VIRGIN Olive Oil: Follow these rules of thumb.

DELICATE & MILD extra virgin olive oil (typically buttery/floral taste with little bitterness and almost imperceptible spiciness, such as Palacio de los Olivos Arbequina) PAIRS BEAUTIFULLY with LIGHTER DISHES.

FOR EXAMPLE, we can drizzle it over white fish, or we can use it to create soft and delicate sauces as well as in baking (substitute for butter), as dressing (vinaigrettes) in salads. And it is also best to cook with (frying egg and vegetables). . . . . . . . . . . .
MEDIUM intensity extra virgin olive oil (not too strong nor mild, often has fruity taste, and a spicy or peppery finish, such as Palacio de los Olivos Picual) is BEST USED with HEARTIER DISHES.

FOR EXAMPLE, grilled/roasted chicken, white meat, fresh-baked artisan bread, roasted vegetables, also best with carbohydrates and sweeter foods, and ice cream. . . . . . . . . . . .
NOT ALL EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL IS CREATED EQUAL !!! 😅
You should have two types of extra virgin olive oil in your kitchen: One with a delicate and soft taste and another one is fruitier with medium or robust (strong) intensity.

Tasting the same dish with two different extra virgin olive oil is truly amazing. You can see how olive oil changes the dish.

TRY IT AT HOME! For a start, bread dip into two different olive oil and taste the difference. OR simply drizzling the olive oil over the vanilla ice cream and sprinkling a pinch of sea salt ... Yum Yum ... 😋👌 . . . . . . . . . . .

THE RISING PRICE OF OLIVE OIL. The price of olive oil has more than doubled in the past two years. What is causing it and will this upwards trend continue?

Similar to many other commodities, such as cocoa​​​, the increase has been caused by drought conditions, i.e. scorching heat and water shortage, for the campaign years of 2022/23 and 2023/24, resulting in poor harvests of olives and shortage of olive oil.

This extreme weather condition is predicted to continue, at least in the near future, with forecasters predicting no end in sight, according to some reports.

In addition to the changing climate, olive oil producers are also facing continued increases in energy and production costs, strong inflation along with high interest rates.

Daily consumption of it was also successful in achieving weight loss, despite a higher caloric intake compared to low-fat diets. And it was also shown to improve insulin sensitivity compared to low-fat diets, and was found to reduce LDL oxidation.

Certain phenols found in extra virgin olive oil were particularly effective in reducing diastolic blood pressure.

DID YOU KNOW *high-polyphenol* EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil helps your dog's health in four ways: SKIN, WEIGHT, TASTE, and IMMUNE SYSTEM.

IT'S SIMPLE - just add no more than one teaspoon (5ml) of olive oil to your dog's food for a 9 kg of body weight per meal - a holistic veterinarian and author, Dr. Judy Morgan, suggested.

A tablespoon (15ml) of olive oil once or twice weekly is the typical amount to add to your dog’s food - according to The Interprofessional Organization of Spanish Olive Oil. . . . . . . . . . .

Recent studies confirm that HIGH-POLYPHENOL EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil prevents dry skin, soothes scaling skin and promotes healthy skin, eases itching associated with allergies, and it also supports heart health and reduces inflammation for your dog.

For senior dogs, these can be life-changing benefits to help dogs stay agile, flexible, and active.

Moderation is critical for the use of olive oil in canine care. Talk with a veterinarian before adjusting your dog’s diet if in doubt. . . . . . . . . . .

Olive Oil Health Benefits for Dogs Olive oil offers a wide range of benefits for dogs, including healthy skin, reduced inflammation, cardiovascular protection and reduced risk of diabetes.

DID YOU KNOW Why EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil has aroma and taste? Why ONLY HIGH QUALITY extra virgin olive oil has these unique and delicate aroma and taste?

Bet it apple, almond, banana, fruity, grassy, herbal, floral, nutty, spicy, and bitter, these are just some of the descriptors that are used by the olive oil masters to describe the aroma and taste of the olive oil.

These aroma and taste are due to the presence of the naturally occurring phenolic compounds in the extra virgin olive oil.

The aroma compounds are volatile, which means they will be destroyed if the temperature has reached a certain value, such as 100ºC.

However, other phenolic compounds in the extra virgin olive oil, specifically the POLYPHENOLS, which have ANTIOXIDANTS and ANTI-INFLAMMATORY properties, will remain mostly intact after heating.

This is the reason why using high quality extra virgin olive oil for home cooking has an added value and advantage - We will be reaping both the health benefits of the olive oil and the food we cook.

There is a good correlation between aroma and flavour of olive oil and its polyphenol content.

The higher the polyphenol content, the more intense and complex the aroma and flavour of the extra virgin olive oil.

Green, grassy, herbaceous, bitter and peppery taste are due to the presence of oleuropein, oleocanthal, hydroxytyrosol.

Whereas aroma such as apple, banana and almond are the results of a combination of various compounds, which are more difficult to pinpoint.

NOW YOU KNOW, when you want to buy an extra virgin olive oil, do look out for one that gives you the bitter and pungent taste, that are more intense.

BITTER & PUNGENT are your friends.

They are also a solid indicator of the presence of ANTIOXIDANTS and ANTI-INFLAMMATORY properties in the EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil - More intense more polyphenols, on the other hand, delicate and mild has less.

WHAT IF IT DOESN'T RAIN?
If you think the last olive harvest 2022/2023 is bad, wait till you see the forthcoming new harvest 2023/2024.

Spain has been experiencing lower than normal rainfall since October. In April this year, the country reported the driest and warmest conditions in Spain’s history.

Right now in the month of May, the flowering phase begins. Production for the coming season will depend to a large extent on how much it rains in the coming weeks.

With sufficient rainfall, these buds will turn into olives and give us oil.

If the long-awaited rain does not fall in the coming weeks, we could find ourselves facing another low production in the 2023/2024 campaign.

All this will be reflected in the market by an increase in prices.

By the way, Spain is the world’s largest olive oil producer.
