FOOD PAIRING WITH OLIVE OIL
WHEN OLIVE OIL CREATES NEW TASTE EXPERIENCES
Olive oil has always been considered the finest edible fat. 100% pure fruit juice. Extracted from the flesh of the olive. Not pressed from pits or seeds, not thermally processed, not chemically treated, no additives of any natural or chemical nature. Pure fruit juice. Fresh and green. Healthy and exceptionally delicate. Olive oil can conjure up fantastic culinary experiences – provided you choose the right olive oils and select the ones best suited to your dish.
Whether raw or cooked, the evoo.expert selection of the world's best olive oils transforms food into something wonderful. That's a promise. Serving three olive oils with distinct characteristics alongside the same pasta results in three completely different dishes. This is as surprising as it is ingenious. The true art of fine dining doesn't focus on simply using olive oil for frying, but rather on the deliberate food pairing after the initial preparation. Silvan Brun and Sophia Amariotaki Streich recommend olive oil for finishing dishes not only for its flavor; a single drop can also break up the acidity of a cold tomato essence (a clear, cold soup), making the dish much more harmonious.
