Brunch is a favorite tradition in Switzerland. It combines breakfast and lunch, allowing people to slow down and savor good meals with their loved ones. Traditionally, brunch tables in Switzerland are rich with dairy-based pastries, buttered bread,  and creamy spreads. However, if you prioritize your health and want to elevate your brunch, now is certainly a good time to consider extra virgin olive oil.

L’Atelier des Saisons curates the finest cold-pressed olive oils today. These oils are carefully sourced from the Mediterranean terroirs. These oils will provide you with both healthy and taste benefits. As you read on, you’ll discover why pairing your brunch with premium olive oil (instead of cream and butter) is worth it.

1.   Healthier, heart-friendly fats

Butter and cream are rich in saturated fats. You have nothing to worry about if you consume them once in a while. However, when consumed frequently, butter and cream can contribute to high cholesterol. They may even cause heart-related issues.

To avoid the aforementioned health issues, we recommend using extra virgin olive oil in Switzerland. Unlike butter and cream, the right olive oil only contains monounsaturated fats. Studies have it that these fats support heart health.

Furthermore, olive oils contains antioxidants—a good example is polyphenols. Apart from improving heart health, these antioxidants also lower the risk of chronic diseases.

Bottom line: premium olive oils, which you can get at L’Atelier des Saisons, offer more health benefits than cream and butter. These oils also allow you to enjoy richer, more satisfying, and flavorful brunch meals.

2.   Complementary flavor

One drawback of butter and cream is that they tend to dominate a meal’s flavor profile. When this happens, other subtle ingredients of the meal get mute.

Get the most of every ingredient in your meal today by using olive oilnin Switzerland. Extra virgin oils, especially the ones sourced from the Mediterranean terroirs, add complexity without killing the shine of other ingredients. You can find a good product at L’Atelier des Saisons today!

3.   Versatility

We recommend olive oil over butter and cream today because of its versatility. The right oils make a great substitute in both sweet and savory recipes. For instance, this Degustus Huile d’Olive Vierge Extra Premium 0,5L offers a unique flavor. In addition, it keeps baked goods moist. Furthermore, it’s also a healthier alternative to butter because it offers good fats.

Instead of using butter for your lemon cake, a citrusy olive oil is recommended. This won’t only enhance the bright, zesty flavor. In addition, the oil also adds a lighter texture and a subtle fruitiness that complements the lemon cake.
