The afternoon of 3 July was a little different from usual at our Grill Centre – People flocked to the shop to hear not only tips on how to choose a grill, but also interesting information on olive oil, salt and pepper.
Our grill expert Audrius Blinstrubas told the guests how to choose the best grill for their needs, explained the differences between electric, charcoal and gas grills, and listed their advantages and disadvantages.
Liana also debunked the myth of frying - olive oil is indeed good for frying. When choosing olive oil for frying, she said, it is important to pay attention to the acidity. The lower the acidity, the more antioxidants will be present in the oil itself, which will prevent the formation of dangerous carcinogens during frying.
The Olive Oil Sommelier also presented some of the world's top-rated olive oils, which are now available in the Griliai.lt shop and on the website. Olive oils "Bio" and "Delicate" are from the Italian farm Frantoio Franci, which is the world's oil guide Flos Olei 2019 was ranked the best olive oil farm in the world (99/100 points) by Flos Olive Oil Guide 2019.
