Olive oil is the indisputable protagonist in the kitchen. Raw or cooked, the best solution is always to focus on a quality product, orienting itself to excellence, or at least in a product that respects the law parameters.

5 small rules to eat healthy and live longer

Modern man daily commits a series of mistakes in choosing and feeding. It is known that ‘hunger comes eating’, but among the most common mistakes we find the hyper-alimentation, bad food combination, and the choice of foods altered by the industrial distribution.

The importance of the right combination of food and Oil at the heart of the Mediterranean diet is also underestimated because of the stressful life and rhythms of modern society.

But here are 5 rules that nutritionists suggest for a healthy and balanced diet:

1. Increase complex carbohydrates such as whole grain rice, corn, wheat and reduce eating refined cereals such as white flour or refined rice.

2. Avoid sugar and salt as much as possible.

3. Do not mix proteins of different origin (meat, fish, eggs …).

4. Limit the amount of calories and keep the 400-800 kcal limit per meal.

5. Use quality extra virgin Olive Oil and choose the right combination of food.

Villa Campestri and his love for Olive Oil

Oil, considered by many the liquid gold for its high quality, is good for health, gives flavor and scent to the food and to all the portions of our tables.

Extra virgin olive oil is considered a functional food, a highly digestible functional food that goes beyond classic nutrition.

It’s just from our passion for Oil that Villa Campestri is born: the world’s first Olive Oil Resort.

Those who stay at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort will have the privilege of living in the luxury of a Renaissance and noble residence in the heart of Mugello with the pleasure of enjoying an extraordinary Oil of excellence.

Our oil comes from a century-old olive grove, from olives processed in the farm mill on the same day of harvesting.

The right Olive Oil with the right dish

For Olive Oil lovers the Oil to be tasted should be taken as such in purity, directly into the glass. There is an official glass for tasting, the amber tulips glass, so that the color of the Oil does not deceive the taster.

There is a wide range of uses and many are the right combination of Oil with food. For example:

• Mild fruity Oils are very good in the fine pastry, but also in finely-flavored or fine grain fries, as well as sauces and mayonnaise, or in whipped cream and fish dishes.

• Those of medium intensity fruity are Oils that fit into wide-ranging combinations. Suitable for seasoning green and sea salads, vegetable soups and legumes.

• The intense fruity is willing to go to structured food as meat, fries or roast beef.
