I was asked during a recent tasting session about how we can use olive oils in a different fashion - aside from the most common ways such as cooking, in a salad or dipped in bread. The following is an example of one way in which extra virgin olive oil has been used in my family for decades. Sauerkraut with extra virgin olive oil and sweet paprika powder, a perfect winter side dish or salad packed with phenol and probiotics. How to make it? Just put some raw sauerkraut in a bowl and season with olive oil and add some paprika powder. It's as simple as that. I would recommend a stronger flavoured olive oil to boost the sourness and if possible, to use home made sauerkraut.

Recently, a client bought a bottle of Leccino olive oil from us. Their child being , a doctor recommended to them for him to take a table spoon of extra virgin olive oil each morning on an empty stomach to aid in the reduction of inflammation in his gut. The child was taking a different oil before and have now switched to Leccino oil without any problem. We wish all the best to the child and his parents on their road to recovery.

Happy New year everyone, may it be kinder and greener than the previous one. What a way to start a year but in green! Savoy cabbage soup with olive oil (and optional cream) is just a perfect way to start your new year green and to add more green cruciferous vegetables to your menu. As cabbages are generally bitter tasting vegetables, I'd recommend bolder olive oil flavours, like buža or even bjelica. Here's the original recipe with Brussels sprouts courtesy

READY IN: 40 mins
SERVES: 4
INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons oil
1 finely sliced onion
1 kg prepared Brussels sprouts
4 cups chicken stock
1⁄4 cup cream

DIRECTIONS

Melt buter in a saucepan and saute onion until tender. Add brussels sprouts and stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until sprouts are cooked.
Puree in a food processor or put the soup mixture through a sieve.
Reheat and serve with swirls of cream.

I added a teaspoon of curry powder, makes all the difference!

After a long break and a very successful season we are delighted to inform you that we are preparing for the next season with all the good old oils you are familiar with and a few new ones that will be available from September.

Here's an interesting read for all of those who were wondering which olive oil is The best.

Identifying one olive oil as 'the best' among the world's exceptional olive oils is misguided.

Although everything looks the same, a lot has changed for Ipša Frantoio since last year. Hard work and persistence have payed off and this fruity, mild flavoured extra virgin olive oil is crowned with the ECO label and therefore has become the first organic extra virgin olive oil in our offer. We encourage you to add this healthy option to your collection to round-out perfectly the bolder side of the flavours.
