MANILA, Philippines - Oliviers and Co. encouraged everyone to smell and taste food garnished with olive oil at the opening of its branch at the 2nd floor of Central Square BGC on June 27.
C.E.O Albert Baussan said that for thousands of years, the olive tree has shaped Mediterranean relief while providing dazzling landscapes and admirable cubism orchards, which bring to life the paintings of Cezzanne.
Beyond doubt, because of its ability to soothe and calm senses, it has been a representation of peace, tranquility, and enlightenment. Not only has it been used for therapy, but also as a culinary ingredient because of its unmatched exquisite flavor. Oliviers and Co. challenges each and every one’s palate with its olive oil selection that uplifts the flavor of the most complex gourmets all over the world.
The presence of polphenols, E vitamin, and oleic acid in olive oil prevents cardiovascular diseases, increases good cholesterol, slows cerebral aging, facilitates digestion, prevents acid reflux, and does not alter gastric acidity.
Aside from the ribbon cutting, Chef Tristan Encarnacion conducted a cooking demo to show the versatility of the olive oil. He showcased three exemplary dishes using olive oil as the hero of each dish:
Beef Carpaccio with O&CO Specialite Basil Oil. AJ BOLANDO
Micro Mesclun with Raspberry Vinaigrette and O&CO Extra Virgin Olive Oil. AJ BOLANDO
Pan Seared Salmon with O&CO White Truffle Oil. AJ BOLANDO
