Experience Doña Elena Olive Oil’s Grand Festive Flavors at 49-B Heirloom Kitchen
As s mom, I usually get asked which cooking oil I am using at home.
Honestly, I love to cook also but I seldom post about it, now I should tell you that my pantry contains olive oil since time immemorial. My indispensable ingredient despite being pricey.
Mom have grown accustomed to using canola and vegetable oil as her staple oil, but I'm not sure though if those are the healthiest kind.
I cannot say I'm in my healthiest since we love eating in restaurants and we have no way of telling what oils they are using. Of course, only few have the knowledge about animal based fats and hydrogenated animal fats. All I know is olive oils are here to save the day..er..cooking.
Some may say I could slather on my skin as moisturizer but I have yet to try. The only information I got is that olive oils are antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties too.
But did you know that you cannot use Extra Virgin with high heat? It is only best used for cold food (like salad dressing or drizzling over foods).
Fortunately, supermarkets only sell Pure Olive Oil and not always the Extra Virgin.
Nowadays, it can be difficult to identify what olive oils are fake and which are genuine. There were surveys online that took place in a supermarket revealing that some of them were not really extra virgin at all. Some were filled with just a mixture of low-grade vegetable oils.
It is really best to do a little research before purchasing anything and you should only buy olive oils made by a trusted brand, like Doña Elena.

Here are the 5 dishes we tried for the Festive Flavors Holiday Menu :
49-B Heirloom Kitchen’s Grilled Shrimp on Patacones is my favorite!
This is a South-American Inspired appetizer served with chilled cucumber yogurt soup to neutralize the palate and signify a delicious transition of the courses. The taste was similar to a "Turon". Patacones are fried Saba flattened to a chip then re-fried it with vanilla and Olive Oil. Topped with mayo and shrimp.
49-B Heirloom Kitchen Cuban Beef Stew with Yellow Rice served with a side of Black Beans and Fried Saba is a Latin-American inspired dish that heartily combines Mediterranean flavors
49-B Heirloom Kitchen’s Olive and Chorizo Stuffed Roast Chicken is a Mediterranean version for Thanksgiving centerpiece, using ingredients such as olive oil, olives, spices, and chorizo. The sauce was superb.
49-B Heirloom Kitchen’s Tilapia Fillet with Red Onions and Relish is a harmonious fusion of South American and Mediterranean flavors, served perfectly with chimichurri and warm Greek orzo salad.
49-B Heirloom Kitchen’s Cheese Panna Cotta is a departure from the typical as its deliciously creamy and drizzled with Doña Elena Pure Olive Oil with a zest of lemon topped with pistachios!
