How to prepare the best greek salad? It is as simple as that

Several of my friends send me photos of the meals they prepare with our olive oil. It's something I absolutely love and I would like to thank them so much for it. Here we see the traditional, Greek salad. A healthy dish of the Mediterranean diet that should never be missing from our table. How do we prepare a Greek salad for two people? It is very simple: We need two tomatoes (preferably organic), one red onion, half a cucumber (medium size), organic oregano (preferably from the southern Peloponnese), Kalamata olives, a green paprika and optionally feta cheese on top. We chop everything and mix it all together with our extra virgin olive oil and optionally a splash of vinegar. Within a few minutes the Greek salad is on your table. ...

Useful tips when you buy olive oil

Useful tips when you buy olive oil

What is adulterated olive oil and how widespread is its circulation in the super market? Often it is a mixture of 2 oils, extra virgin olive oil and usually sunflower oil. This type of adulteration can be classified as extra virgin olive oil by some brands in the olive oil market. It can be further degraded when mixed with various olive oils of dubious quality from different countries around Europe, Middle East or North Africa. In the worst case, it is a mixture of soybean and sunflower oil, to which chlorophyll and beta-carotene substances are added. You should be especially careful when checking the labels of these oils. How can I tell if an olive oil is adulterated? Are there simple methods that can help to identify a bad olive oil? This is the most important question. How can we know if the olive oil we buy is adulterated? Here are some useful tips. Put it in the fridge You can do this simple test...

For the 2024 pre-order campaign of Berlin Oil Connection

For the 2024 pre-order campaign of Berlin Oil Connection

Dear Berlin Oil Connection friends. As you all know, the situation with olive oil production this year is particularly critical. In many regions of Europe, production has dramatically decreased. As a practical result, prices have exploded this year. However, this year's harvest for us has started normally and without any particular problems. The quality and characteristics of the extra virgin olive oil from our field are at a very good level again this year. However, the cost of bringing it to Berlin is very high. Inflation and climatic conditions, which are responsible for the decline in production, are the main enemy. That is why this year we will start our campaign earlier than planned. You can pre-order the amount of oil you need for next year, in this way you help us to bring it to Berlin. So we can keep a better price for all of you. For more info and orders you can always contact Berlin Oil Connection here: https://berlinoilconnection.de/en/contact/...

Why the Shillermarkt is the place to be on Saturday afternoons

Why the Shillermarkt is the place to be on Saturday afternoons

As beautiful as the neighbourhood schillerkiez around the Tempelhof Park is, so is the market that takes place every Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm at the Herfurtplatz markt (Shillermarkt)  in the streets around the church. I of course, as a neighbour, have more reasons to love this market and my participation. You can't imagine how much I enjoy talking to the people I meet anyway on my walks and in the beautiful cafes of Neukolln such as Laidak. Okay I know, it's true there aren't that many beautiful cafes left in the neighborhood, however there is still a beautiful energy in several of them. However, the market around the church is not only beautiful because it has beautiful smiling faces that take a little walk every Saturday. It's beautiful because all of the colleagues seem to enjoy it too. Really how beautiful is the whole mosaic of different languages spoken by both those who visit the market and those...

A few words about our participation at the Schillermarkt in Herrfurthplatz every Saturday

If you live around the area of Neukölln, then you are probably one of our neighbors. Every Saturday we attend the weekly market "Schillermarkt '' in Herrfurthplaz. It is just 10 minutes walk from laidak (boddinplatz) where we store our olive oil and many people who visit our stand which is next to the big Church, we already know each other from various activities in the area, such as a walk at tempelhoffer feld (ex-airport), or simply from the next table with drinks at bars or restaurants in Neukölln. However it is not only that you know us from the neighborhood, but also that the atmosphere of the market is perfect. Besides us there is the Portuguese friend with the nice food and the guys with the African cuisine.  Our friend with the ceramics, the guys with the perfect cheese and the Berlin friend with the high quality German-style bread.  We also could not fail to point out the multi-ethnic atmosphere...
