Truths and false myths about olives.

Are olives fattening? Do olives have the same properties as olive oil? Do they increase cholesterol? We are going to solve these and other questions about olives that, despite being a common food in our lives, there are false myths around them.

We will start by highlighting the natural properties of olives, since it is a natural product rich in fiber, iron and healthy fats. Olives are not just an aperitif that accompanies a beer or a good glass of wine, but a very healthy Mediterranean custom that brings us many benefits to our health. Its unsaturated fat content prevents heart disease, is beneficial for the circulatory system and helps to maintain our weight.

After this introduction, we are going to dismantle some myths and false beliefs about olives:

- Olives are fattening is the first widespread myth, but for many years, nutritionists and health experts have been reporting on the beneficial properties that help control weight. Its high fiber content and satiating power make taking some olives before meals help to keep our weight in check. So that olives are fattening is the first false myth on this list.

- Do olives increase cholesterol? The answer is a clear no. According to studies carried out by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA), the polyphenols in olives reduce LDL cholesterol or "bad" cholesterol. In this way, olives protect against the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol), their subsequent accumulation and hardening of the arterial walls.

- Do olive oil have the same properties as olives? Although a priori it may seem a bit absurd, this question is not, since the natural composition of olives makes it have more properties than oil. In addition to incorporating the oil itself, they have an extra amount of water, fiber, minerals and vitamins. Therefore, the consumption of olives brings more benefits to our body than liquid gold.

- Olives contain a lot of salt. This is the weak point of olives, since their conservation in brine makes them have a high sodium content, therefore we must take certain precautions if we have high blood pressure. But we have the solution so that you can continue enjoying this aperitif: you can soak them the night before use and desalt them as is usually done with cod.

- How many olives is recommended to take a day? Although there is no exact answer to this question, the recommended daily serving ranges between 6 and 10 olives. A perfect amount to take every day in different ways, a few days as an aperitif, another day we add it to a salad, in pizzas, etc.

Knowing the food we eat is essential to incorporate it correctly into our diet, avoiding false myths and beliefs. Olives are a source of properties and benefits for our diet, and they are also delicious !!!!


Extra virgin olive oil is your ally to improve your defenses.

This is one of the most complicated times each year as regards health matters: colds, flu, etc. begin. And this year it gets even more complicated with the coronavirus. Can we do something to protect ourselves and help our body? The answer is a resounding yes. We can help our body to strengthen it and improve its defenses so that the possible diseases that we can contract do not catch us off guard.

A balanced diet is essential for our body to be healthy and energetic to face any viral or bacterial process. Extra virgin olive oil is a perfect ally for us since, according to multiple studies, it strengthens our defenses. Among other scientists, José Juan Gaforio (Professor of Immunology at the Department of Health Sciences of the University of Jaén) is a great supporter of the ability of extra virgin olive oil to improve the immune response by increasing the number of cells that participate in the body's defense process, which causes greater resistance to external pathogens.

Vitamins A, D, E and K act as antioxidants in charge of counteracting the accumulation of free radicals that damage our cells and lower our defenses.

On the other hand, recent studies have shown that vegetable fats stimulate the cells of the immune system, generating a more effective response to possible viruses and bacteria. The fats in extra virgin olive oil stimulate the production of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell responsible for protecting our body from infectious diseases. Likewise, oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, present in extra virgin olive oil, and responsible for giving it its spicy and bitter taste, are substances that also help to strengthen the immune system

Helping our body and our defenses in the autumn period becomes this 2020 more vital than ever and, in addition to regularly consuming the liquid gold of our land, there are other recommendations that you should not forget:

- Increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables in your diet

- Take blue fish, rich in Omega-3, vitamins D and E, among many others.

- Avoid sedentary lifestyle

- Sleep at least between 7 and 8 hours, since sleep also helps our immune system.

- Reduce ultra-processed foods and refined sugars.

At Montegil we make the extra virgin olive oil from our land with all the guarantees so that it preserves its exceptional properties and nutritional values… and it is also very good.

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?

CAPERS, PURE MEDITERRANEAN FLAVOR

For sauces, side dishes, in pizzas, in salads, ideal for fish and meat dishes ... caper is part of our cuisine but for many it remains an unknown product. We are going to discover its origin, its history and the different uses for this product, so natural and so ours.

 This small fruit is part of our Mediterranean gastronomy and comes from a bush called Capparis Spinosa (caper). The caper is the immature cocoon that is collected to be preserved habitually in vinegar, salt and tarragon. Although its natural flavor is bitter, once prepared, capers have an excellent flavor and can be taken as a pickle.

In gastronomy, capers are perfect for making sauces, seasoning fish and meat, and add an original touch to salads and pizzas. In addition, due to its high sodium content, it can be a perfect substitute for salt when seasoning chicken, salmon, turkey, vegetables or salads.

The caper in the kitchen

In Ancient Greece the flowers and fruits of the plant were used in cooking, and the stems and leaves were also used for medicinal purposes. The Greeks were in charge of introducing capers in the Mediterranean towns, especially in the Italic and Iberian peninsulas, as well as in the Mediterranean islands. This plant quickly and easily adapted to these territories due to the warm and sunny climate.

There is also evidence of the use of the caper as an ingredient in various dishes in Ancient Rome, including in the cold cheese casserole (possible origin of the gazpacho) or in dishes that served as an aperitif.

In Andalusí cuisine, capers were kept in brine and, seasoned with oil and vinegar, they were eaten with curdled milk. It also appears in many dishes combined with asparagus, since both coincide in the wild harvest season.

In the 17th century, capers appeared in numerous recipes collected by the famous Le Cuisinier cookbook, possibly the gastronomic bible of the time.

Currently there are many uses and dishes in which the caper is the protagonist or it is one of the ingredients that adds a unique touch to recipes. Capers are highly valued for making sauces, Italian pasta dishes and Greek pasta inherited from centuries of tradition, such as the famous putanesca sauce. Pizzas and focaccias are also perfect to incorporate this ingredient, in addition to seasoning meat dishes such as chicken. It is also very present in the most avant-garde cuisine, whether in sauces such as tartar, remoulade or tartar steak.

In Spain the use of capers is very widespread in all regions, forming part of traditional dishes in the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, Extremadura, Andalusia, Murcia….

The pasta made from crushed olives with capers, anchovies and olive oil is known as Tapenade, a perfect product to make appetizers or to accompany meat and fish.
