Extra Virgin Olive Oil: a healthy option for celiacs
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is an excellent alternative for people with celiac disease. Unlike other oils, EVOO is gluten-free, making it a safe option for those following a gluten-free diet. In addition, EVOO is a 100% vegetable oil, easily digestible and with numerous benefits for general health.
EVOO is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, which helps reduce inflammation and improve cardiovascular health. It is also a source of healthy fats and antioxidants, which makes it an ally for maintaining a balanced and healthy diet.
Somontano Noguero EVOO: the perfect choice
When choosing an EVOO for cooking, it is important to ensure that there has been no cross-contamination with gluten. For this reason, we recommend our Somontano Noguero EVOO, both in its coupage version and in any of our single-varietals. This oil guarantees the absence of gluten and offers an exceptional flavor to your dishes.

Pizza with olive pit flour
Ingredients:
– Olive stone flour
– Fresh bakery yeast
– Agua
– Sal
– Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
How to make the pizza dough: in a bowl, add the olive stone flour, salt to taste and make a hole in the middle. We mix the yeast, water and our variety of Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil. We knead the mixture and add water little by little until we obtain a homogeneous dough. We let the dough rest for 1 hour, covered with a cloth, so that it can rise. Then, we knead a little more, stretch it and it will be ready to put on a tray with a little EVOO on the base so that it doesn’t stick. Add the ingredients that you like the most and put it in the oven.
Gluten-free croquettes
Ingredients:
– Leche
– Cornstarch
– Sal
– Nutmeg
– Eggs
– Gluten-free breadcrumbs
– Roasted chicken breast
– Royeta Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The first thing we will do is prepare the bechamel. We heat part of the milk in a saucepan and dissolve the cornstarch in the other part of the milk. Stir until there are no lumps and add the mixture to the hot milk along with a little salt and nutmeg to taste. We increase the heat, cook and stir until we obtain the desired consistency. Next, we add the chopped roasted chicken breasts to the dough and keep it in a bowl. We cover with transparent film and let it rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, it is time to shape our croquettes. With the help of two spoons, we take the necessary amount of dough and shape it into a croquette. Then, we bathe them in egg, coat them in gluten-free breadcrumbs and fry them with our Royeta EVOO.
