The new era of the olive.

The olive has gone from being simply “table olive” to becoming a superfood of the Mediterranean diet and being the main ingredient in haute cuisine dishes. Proof of this is the union of the best chefs in Spain to reinvent the olive and start what they call "The new era of the olive".

For centuries the olive has been served simply as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to meals, but that is changing. Recent studies have brought to light the innumerable properties of olives and the benefits of their consumption, as they are nutritious, have monounsaturated fats and antioxidant vitamins A, B and E.

In addition, the nutrients that olives possess contribute to better gastrointestinal health. It contains unsaturated fats, so they are good for keeping cholesterol at bay and contribute to a balanced diet.

For such reasons it is included as a fundamental food of the Mediterranean diet, declared Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Along with regular practice of exercise, it contributes to having not only good physical, but also mental health. Actually, if the olives that the emperors took in Rome came from Andalusia, how can we not take advantage of this delicious delicacy?

Gordal, stuffed or seasoned, with or without bone, ... no longer occupy a secondary position at the table, but become the main course.

An example of this reinvention is given by chefs Pepe Rodríguez, Richard Camarena, Ramón Freixa, Pepa Muñoz and Diego Guerrero who have got down to work and have given a turn of the screw to such millennial food. With the initiative #ElRetoDeLaAceituna, they have created up to a total of 50 recipes with this great little food. Recipes that you can recreate at home and that in Montegil we have the main ingredient: the olive.

Have you ever considered putting olives on the table in a different way than we normally see them? Well, the chef Francisco Javier Talavera offers us to fill the gordal olive with garlic prawns. Rico, right?

How about a gordal olive bonbon and cod? A delicacy undoubtedly created by Nacho Basurto, from the Gastro Asubio restaurant.

With our Montegil gordal olive and following the instructions of chef Miguel Ángel Mateos, you can delight your guests with a tapa of gordal olives with tempura almonds and pesto hummus.

Join the challenge and experience this innovative blend of flavors that will not leave anyone indifferent.

BENEFITS OF EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

Why is Extra Virgin Olive Oil the best of all vegetable oils? What properties does Extra Virgin Olive Oil have? Is the Extra Virgin really so good for the diet? Can we consume Extra Virgin Olive Oil if we are on a diet? Today we solve your doubts, explaining the benefits of regular use of extra virgin olive oil.

The Mediterranean diet is so famous for providing a balanced nutrition and thus for its contribution to people’s health. This is largely thanks to the use of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. What are those properties of Extra Virgin Olive Oil that make it so beneficial for our health?

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is resistant to high temperatures, which makes it ideal for cooking, but additionally is composed of unsaturated fats, lipids of vegetable origin known as healthy as they contribute to increase "good" cholesterol, stabilize the heart rate or relieve inflammation, among other qualities. Also, this oil is rich in fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin A, D, K and E. Vitamin A is necessary for the growth of bones and soft tissues, helps the proper functioning of eyesight and prevents infections; Vitamin E, on the other hand, is antioxidant, cardioprotective, anti-tumor, etc. while vitamins D and K favor the absorption of calcium by the bones and help the blood to coagulate with the generation of red blood cells, respectively.

For the youngest members of the household, the consumption of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in meals entails, among other benefits, a better control of the weight in the infantile stage (40% of the children of our country are overweight).

In short, the consumption of Extra Virgin Olive Oil from childhood to old age, along with a balanced diet will make our health stronger and contribute to avoid a large number of diseases. And all this being said we will also enjoy the incredible and rich flavor that Extra Virgin Olive Oil provides us, such as the one from the new 2018-2019 Hacienda Montegil crop made from our olives of the Morona variety.

MONTEGIL LAUNCHES ITS NEW EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL OF 2019 CAMPAIGN

Montegil Extra Virgin Olive Oil of the 2018/19 campaign is ready. An extra virgin olive oil of premium quality for the most select palates. We are very proud of the results of this campaign, in which we have cultivated, cared for and collected our olives in a very special way to obtain one of the best extra virgin oils on the market.

The Montegil Extra Virgin Oil of the 2018/2019 campaign is now available in our online store  and usual sale points. From the heart of Andalusia, we have managed to extract the purest juice of our olives. It is an extra virgin obtained from the morona olive variety, an oil with very special organoleptic characteristics. With delicate flavor but great personality, our extra virgin olive oil has already been recognized in previous years for its quality and characteristics, obtaining the silver medal in the international competition Olive Japan Awards.

An Extra Virgin fresh and rich in properties.

Extra virgin olive oil is a highly valued and valuable product, since in recent years the consumer is learning to value extra virgin qualities such as taste, acidity, the variety of the olive from which it comes, etc. Actually, it is common for users to value the extra virgin of new harvest, being able to appreciate that it is 100% freshly pressed olive juice.

Olives ... a superfood that you must include in your diet!!!

The concept of "superfood" is increasingly used by nutritionists, chefs and lovers of healthy living. Foods with a high concentration of vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants and healthy fats are known as superfoods. They are very interesting foods due to their nutritional potential and the benefits they bring to our health if we include them in our diet. Examples of superfoods are extra virgin olive oil, legumes, quinoa, broccoli, turmeric, ginger or avocado ..

The Mediterranean diet, for its variety and richness, includes some of these superfoods, and among them is the olive.
