Download or read book The Flavors of Olive Oil written by Deborah Krasner and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-09-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In THE FLAVOURS OF OLIVE OIL, Deborah Krasner guides readers step by step through the special taste and aroma characteristics of 75-100 different olive oils, classifying them into four distinct groups: delicate and buttery, fruity and fragrant, mild and peppery, and green and grassy, and providing sources for each. Each type of oil is best suited to a particular type of dish, and Krasner includes almost 100 recipes, ranging from appetisers to desserts. Delicate and buttery oils are subtle, and combine well with tender lettuces, fresh peas, mild cheeses. Krasner uses this kind of oil in her Fava Bean Soup and Buttermilk Lemon-Almond Cake with Strawberry Coulis. Fruity and fragrant oils have personality, and stand out drizzled over pasta, mixed salads and mildly flavoured meats like chicken breast. Mild and peppery oils can surprise you with a warm burn at the back of your throat. Use them for dipping bread and vegetables, or in dishes like Olive Oil Bathed Spring Vegetables. Green and grassy oils are the strongest of all, to be used in bruschetta or poured over a bean soup just before serving.

Download or read book Virgin Olive Oil written by Viktoria Hassouna and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2010 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Best Mediterranean Cuisine Book in the World" (Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, July 1st, 2009) The ancient Greeks venerated olive oil as a "gift of the Gods." And the people were surely right: no other food can compare in health value or multiplicity of uses to this "divine gold!" In the region around the Mediterranean Sea, olive oil is a precious and irreplaceable basic source of nourishment. In many other countries as well, its importance to good health and a well-balanced diet is receiving ever greater recognition. Less well known, however, is the fact that after the EU, Tunisia is the largest national producer of olive oil. The country exports large quantities of the highest quality extra virgin olive oil, which is highly valued by bottlers-even if Tunisia is not mentioned as the country of origin. Together with her husband, Viktoria Hassouna operates an oil mill and a plantation for the production of high-quality organic olive oil, and has thereby accumulated a vast storehouse of knowledge that she presents in this volume in an informative and vivid manner. Descriptions regarding the cultivation, manufacture and effects of olive oil are complemented by useful tips about how to use it therapeutically for promoting good health and beauty care as well as recipes for preparing traditional Tunisian dishes. For healthy and flavourful nutrition, there is nothing better than olive oil! This treasure should be on hand in every kitchen!
