Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1Kg

By admin

The extra virgin olive oil is the product of Lakonia. The olive oil is produced on the day of harvest via cold extraction method and is kept under controlled temperature conditions following strict sanitary control and with the support of modern equipment. The ideal climatologic conditions combined with the prosperous soil allow the producers to follow the traditional techniques, while taking advantage of the modern methods of olives’ cultivation. The result of the whole procedure is the production of an excellent quality product with mild fruity taste, golden green color and with particularly low acidity, below 0.5%.

This oil, part of the Mediterranean diet, is a traditional fat that has been a dietary staple for some of the world’s healthiest populations.

There is actually quite a bit of research behind the health effects of olive oil.

These studies show that the fatty acids and antioxidants in it have some powerful health benefits, such as a reduced risk of heart disease.

OLIVE OIL KEEPS THE HEART YOUNG

A diet rich in olive oil may actually be able to slow down the aging of the heart.

It is a known fact that as we grow older the heart also goes through a normal aging process. The arteries may not function as well as they did and this can lead to a number of health problems. However, in a recent study, Spanish researchers discovered that a diet rich in olive oil or other monounsaturated fats could improve the arterial function of elderly individuals.

OLIVE OIL CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

The health benefits of the Mediterranean diet have been cited in numerous studies, and now with a new large study confirming that it protects from metabolic syndrome we have yet another reason to adopt this style of eating.
The metabolic syndrome is a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, and high blood sugar. “Metabolic syndrome is connected to the obesity epidemic of our time, a big belly poisons our metabolism and a poisoned metabolism can result in type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, stroke, or sudden death,” a leading researcher noted.

The new study found that a Mediterranean-style diet — which includes olive oil, daily consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, and low-fat dairy products, weekly consumption of fish, poultry, legumes, and a relatively low consumption of red meat — can reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Honey

By admin

Honey has been used by countless cultures all around the world over the past 2,500 years. While the numerous health benefits of honey have made it an important element of traditional medicines such as Ayurvedic treatments, scientists are also researching the benefits of honey in relation to modern medicine, particularly in the healing of wounds.

 It is known as Honig in German, Miele in Italian, Shahad in Hindi, Miel in French and Spanish, Mel in Portuguese, медin Russian, Honing in Dutch, and μελι in Greek; there is almost no part in the world where honey is not widely used and celebrated as a part of the cultural diet.

But what makes honey so popular? Most likely, it is the ease with which it can be consumed. One can eat honey directly, put it on bread like a jam, mix it with juice or any drink instead of sugar, or mix it with warm water, lime juice, cinnamon and other herbs to make a medicine. It is savored by all due to its taste as well as health benefits, making it extremely useful and versatile.

Chicken & herb biscuits

By admin

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks of celery
  • 1 onion
  • 350 g butternut squash
  • 3 carrots
  • olive oil
  • 1 fresh bay leaf
  • 1 litre organic chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 700 g leftover cooked free-range chicken (a mixture of light and dark meat is best)
  • HERB BISCUITS
  • 1 sprig of fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
  • 230 g plain flour , plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 110 g unsalted butter
  • 240 ml single cream

Method

For the biscuits, pick and finely chop the herb leaves, then combine with the flour, baking powder and 1½ teaspoons sea salt.

Cut the butter into chunks, and work into the flour with your fingers until the mixture forms big crumbs, the size of small peas.

Add the cream and mix until evenly incorporated and slightly sticky.

Turn out onto a lightly flour-dusted board and pat into a 2.5cm-thick circle. Using a 5cm-diameter cutter, cut into 12 to 14 rounds.

Trim and finely chop the celery, then peel and finely chop the onion. Peel the squash, then cut into 2.5cm pieces along with the carrots.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, and add the celery and onion. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to turn golden, stirring often.

Add the carrots and squash and sauté until they begin to soften.

Add the bay leaf and chicken stock, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Preheat the oven to 190ºC/gas 5.

In a bowl, whisk 120ml of cold water with the flour until combined. Add a cup of the hot broth to the mixture and whisk well. Strain the mixture and whisk it back into the broth.

Bring the broth to the boil. Shred or dice the chicken, add to the pan and season with sea salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Pour the broth into a 2.8-litre baking dish. Top the chicken with the uncooked biscuits and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through, and the broth is bubbling. Serve straightaway.

Tips

If low on meat you can always cook up a little extra. The scone-like biscuits sit on top, like dumplings, and soak up the broth nicely. To make the biscuits on their own, bake them in a preheated oven at 220ºC/gas 7 after step 2.
