“THE PLEASURE OF MINIMUM” TABLE
You don’t need a lot of ingredients, nor a lot of time, to prepare a mega plate, or several plates!
The day to day is already complicated, to complicate it even more in the kitchen, right?
For this reason, today’s consumers tend to be simple, to bet on recipes with fewer ingredients, that take us less time, that are more affordable, and also that generate less waste.
Because taking care of our planet actually takes very little effort.
And if there is a product that fits perfectly with this way of understanding life, it’s olives.
First of all, because they combine perfectly with all kinds of ingredients and flavors, which makes decision-making a lot easier.
Second, because they can be both the main ingredient in a dish, and the perfect topping for any recipe.
And lastly, because they can be used from a breakfast, to a snack, to lunch or dinner.
With olives, and very little more, you have the menu resolved!
