More and more consumers make sure that the goods they buy are produced in sustainable and ethical ways. Christmas values and messages strongly call attention to justice and love, so with Mani Bläuel “Fair Gift Package’’ we propose a gift which is meaningful from several points of view. The package contains three of our most appreciated bestsellers:
– Greek extra virgin olive oil
– Olive-mix al naturale pitted
– Kalamata olive paste
The single-variety, award-winning Greek olive oil with fresh, mild fruity aroma of almond, artichoke and wild herbs, is highly versatile in cold and warm cuisine.
The Olive-mix of spicy Amfissa table olives and juicy mild Kalamata olives preserved in extra virgin olive oil and flavoured with oregano and fresh lemon, is wonderful as an appetizer or in salads.
And finally the aromatic Kalamata olive paste, with its full flavour enriched by hints of fine herbs, is delicious on bread or in sauces and marinades.
The 3 Greek specialties we propose in the package are certified Naturland Organic & Fair.
Naturland Fair guarantees fair conditions along the entire value chain, from the farmer to the consumer, whose rising demands are for products of ethical origin. As the largest employer in the region, for 35 years we have contributed to providing a fair income for the farmers who cooperate with our company in our organic and fair project.
The Fair Gift Pack is a different gift idea for the upcoming holidays. The products are available on our Mani Bläuel Online Shop.
We wish everybody a lot of fun in giving and enjoying.
Christmas is coming and with it finally the time for baking. In addition to classics like butter cookies and vanilla biscuits at Bläuel we also like to peck at traditional Greek holiday pastries as Kourabiedes. These are fine almond biscuits from the best local produce, prepared in the Mani with the best olive oil. Olive oil gives particularly good results also when used in sweets, it’s cheaper than butter and it contains vegetable fatty acids good for our body. Generally it can replace butter in all recipes, used in quantities corresponding to ¾ of the amount of butter. For sweet recipes, one should prefer mild-tasting olive oils, such as our Mani Bläuel Greek olive oil.
Kourabiedes can rival other kinds of fragrant, melt-in-your-mouth cookies, like shortbread – one is reminded of them actually, but instead of the the classic vanilla taste, in Kourabiedes the emphasis is on fine almonds and gentle olive oil. They are a particularly well-suited match for Greek coffee. This is drunk traditionally bland and with little to no sugar. A perfect addition to any Christmas coffee table! If you are now curious to try the Greek almond biscuits with your family, you will find the recipe here: Recipes
The Bläuel family and team wish you good luck and a beautiful Christmas season.
