One of the main products of the Mediterranean Diet, the table olive, returned to the exclusive showcase of food and drinks for producers and buyers of New York City, The Summer Fancy Food Show, as per an official release.It was for the third consecutive year that olives from Spain and the campaign “Have an Olive Day!” returned to one of the most important gastronomic fairs in the HORECA sector in the US, attended by more than 17,000 professionals each year. This campaign has the support of the prestigious chef Jose Andres, and with an investment of 7.5 million euros in three years, as per the release.“The US imports more than 155 million pounds of European olives per year, reaching more than 120 markets worldwide. In fact, 95 percent of the pepper-filled olives consumed by Americans come from the European country of Spain. Thanks to these past two years of the campaign, American consumers identified some of the varieties and uses of this versatile product, which allows the creation of recipes of all kinds. However, the high gastronomic potential offered by olives is not known in its entirety and for that reason, showing the infinite number of elaborations with olives as protagonists, is still the main goal of ‘Have an Olive Day!’” says the release.With a presence at trade shows such as the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York, one of the most important food fairs in the USA and through actions in different areas of the media, the sector brings the infinite gastronomic possibilities of olives to consumers and professionals around the country, as per the release.Chef Alberto Astudillo was also present at this year’s show, who with his original dressings delighted the attendees, who enjoyed all the variety and flavor of European olives. During the three days of the fair, everything related to olives was divulged and some combinations were tasted, such as olives with chilli peppers and walnuts, olives with goat cheese and paprika or crackers with olives and ginger, according to the release.The popular chef Jose Andres collaborated with the campaign promoting European table olives in the US. A lover of olives and a faithful defender of the Mediterranean Diet for more than 20 years, he has created and managed some of the most successful restaurants, and he has become a well-known presenter of important television programs.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the event. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
