Exquisite Recipe And Artful Plating Tips From Carapelli Featured In "Food Quest" Episode With Celebrity Chef Jaime Laurita

DALLAS, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Carapelli, a premium extra virgin olive oil, is featured in "Food Quest," airing next Thursday, December 27, on Food Network at 8:30 a.m. EST/PST and on the Travel Channel at 7:30 a.m. EST/PST.  Italian-American celebrity chef and entertaining guru Jaime Laurita and host Kim Alexis craft a Grilled Steak with Olive Oil Charred Scallions recipe. After the creation of the dish, viewers will delight in expert plating techniques from Laurita and learn how to artfully display their culinary creations.

"Carapelli is an exceptional extra virgin olive oil, and I wanted to demonstrate that through the delicious and exquisite Steak with Olive Oil Charred Scallions. I find that people often rush the plating process, but we eat with our eyes too," said Laurita, who joined Alexis to prepare and serve the recipe. "It's especially important to drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the final dish to add dimension and color."

Laurita and Alexis also participate in an olive oil tasting led by Larissa Iracheta, olive oil sommelier at Carapelli. Together, they explore the tasting notes and subtle complexities of Carapelli's Extra Virgin Olive Oils, including the Oro Verde and Organic varieties. Oro Verde Extra Virgin Olive Oil is masterfully crafted from the first cold pressing of the olive in true Tuscan form, nodding to the brand's cultural heritage with a peppery, fresh tasting oil, while Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is soft, balanced and fruity, with hints of apple and almond. These exquisite flavors are a result of high-quality olives nurtured by nature, selected at optimal harvest time and delicately handled.

"We are thrilled to have Jaime craft an exceptional creation, prepared with the indulgent and luxurious flavors of Carapelli Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil," said Chief Commercial Officer Miguel de Jaime Guijarro at parent company Deoleo. We hope viewers are inspired to create it at home and bring artful aesthetics to their dishes with the mastery of Carapelli."    

Carapelli's Oro Verde Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil are available in the olive oil aisle at select grocery and mass retailers nationwide. For more information and recipe inspiration, visit www.CarapelliUSA.com and follow along on Instagram and Facebook.
