What to cook and what NOT to cook!

olive oil puglia

The extra virgin olive oil is the key of the Mediterranean cuisine. The extra virgin olive oil (which by definition means it is fruity….otherwise it can’t be “extra” virgin!) adds its fruity taste to your dish, without covering the original taste of the ingredients.: eggplants will still taste like eggplants; fava beans will still taste like fava beans etc.

However, in order to keep the fruity taste of the extra virgin olive oil, it is very important that you add it raw at the end of the dish preparation.
Of course there are a few methods to reduce the amount of dressing while you are cooking (for example, to soften the onion etc), but we will cover then in the next posts.
Please, also consider that recent medical research found out that the extra virgin olive oil, when used raw, has important benefits for your cardiovascular system as well as for cancer prevention.
