Important dates are approaching! Once again, we look forward with joy to these moments of getting together with family and friends. That is why we can think of no better way to celebrate Christmas than with a good bottle of olive oil on the table. The star product of these festivities is an all-rounder that can be present on any occasion. We are going to show you with every possible option and some very useful recommendations to surprise your loved ones. Here we go.
Olive oil as an ingredient in Christmas recipes
A good Christmas dish should include extra virgin olive oil among its ingredients. We say this not only for the touch of quality it brings to the menu, but also for its high antioxidant properties and because it is the healthiest vegetable fat in the world. It is all advantages, and we believe a good Christmas meal can go hand in hand with a healthy diet. Take note of all the culinary uses for this product:
- Dressing for all kinds of salads.
- Dressing for meat and fish.
- Making sauces to accompany the main ingredients of a dish.
- For frying all kinds of foods.
- In the preserving of certain foods, which will also take on all the aroma of the oil.
- When sweating or sautéing vegetables.
- It is also good for confiting foods that feature at every Christmas meal, such as cod, salmon, duck or suckling pig.
As an extra tip for starters, we recommend serving plates of cheese in oil or slices of bread with olive oil and ham. Finger-licking good!
And for dessert?
It is also possible to cook desserts with extra virgin olive oil. Even the traditional Christmas sweets! For example, traditional mantecados can be made at home thanks to our favourite ingredient. Below is a post from our Instagram profile where we explain the process step by step.

A gift for lovers of good food
In case you did not know, olive oil can also make a magnificent Christmas or Three Kings gift. Especially for foodlovers, who will love receiving a product of such high quality as a present. Of course, a number of things need to be kept in mind for its presentation:
- That it is a premium quality product.
- Attractive packaging in harmony with the brand. It is also great for showing off on social media.
- A highly recommended option is to give packs with a special selection of bottles, varying the size and/or the type of olive the oil is made from.
- It is the perfect excuse for a get-together, to taste it with the person giving the gift and the person receiving it (and anyone who wants to join, of course).
- Given that it is a healthy ingredient, it is a fantastic idea to show your concern for the wellbeing of your loved ones.
