Chef's tip: olive oil for breakfast

What if your breakfast took on a Mediterranean flair? Dare to try new culinary combinations and awaken your taste buds to exquisite flavors.

We’ve put together some delightful ideas for a surprising olive oil-based breakfast.

Olive Oil on Bread

Olive oil as a replacement for butter on toast!
Forget the buttered toast… Old habits disappear quickly once you taste the delicate drizzle of Arbequina olive oil on good fresh bread!

Yes, you can swap out the saturated fats from traditional butter for this plant-based oil with a thousand virtues. Rich in polyphenols, vitamin E, and Omega-9, it’s an excellent source of antioxidants to start your day right.

Choose it according to your taste and mood.

Olive oil: delicious with sweet foods too

Have you ever tasted oriental pastries made with honey, almonds, and olive oil? The liquid gold of olive oil pairs wonderfully with sweet flavors. For breakfast, we recommend simple yet divine combinations!

The sweetness of honey and the peppery kick of olive oil—a balanced pairing that provides our body with the nutritional benefits it needs.

Often used in sweet-savory dishes, honey adds floral and sweet notes to this combination. Opt for a more robust, green fruity olive oil, like Picual, to bring out the full flavors.

Olive oil and seasonal Fruits

Now, let’s amplify the sensory pleasure by exploring exceptional organoleptic experiences!
Eating good fruits in the morning gives you a burst of energy and vitamins! And when you add a touch of olive oil, the aromas unfold and the balance is perfect.

We suggest choosing seasonal fruits, ideally freshly picked. In the summer, we love the combination of Picual olive oil over strawberries, berries, or apricots. In winter, we pair it with citrus fruits like oranges or lemons. For a more exotic touch, you can’t go wrong with banana!

There are so many options to keep things exciting and continuously reinvent your breakfast ideas!

Olive Oil and Chocolate

For the sweet-tooths out there, here’s an unexpected and unique pairing... Olive oil, preferably with ripe fruity notes, brings subtle flavors to dark chocolate. It’s a delight for the palate! An unexpected pleasure!
