“TIME FOR ME” TABLE
Before the Pandemic, we barely had time to dedicate to ourselves.
The hustle and bustle of everyday life, routine, and even social commitments left very little space for such everyday things as enjoying a relaxing moment at home.
A simple breakfast without looking at the clock, a light aperitif watching your favorite series, or a broth cooked over low heat, like those from long ago …
All these moments that return us to the comfort and relaxation of everyday life, have returned to stay, like the pleasure of cooking for cooking: more #slowfood and less #fastfood.
Because the return to comfort does not mean becoming more comfortable and neglecting what we eat, quite the opposite! It means spending more time on everything that makes us feel good and enjoying it in a more relaxed way!
A very Mediterranean philosophy, which fits perfectly with one of the star products of this diet: olives.
Because what is more comfortable than starting the day with a fluffy olive bread for breakfast? Or more relaxing than spending time preparing your own pizza dough, and adding the perfect touch with a few slices of olives?
Put relaxation on your table with olives from Spain!
