Increasing knowledge of the olive oil potentialities for cooking

Objective

The project's main objective is to offer local olive oil producers a forum to present and identify successful marketing strategies for extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and to promote its consumption among gastronomy professionals: 

  1. By providing appropriate information on the quality of the local product, the varieties and their culinary possibilities;
  2. By highlighting its relevance as one of the key elements of the Mediterranean Diet in preventing not only cardiovascular disease but also cognitive decline and depression;
  3. By presenting it as an alternative to other direct competitors for cooking and frying, such as sunflower oil, margarine and butter.
