Cake with olive oil: which one to choose?
For a tasty and quality result, we recommend that the olive oil used be extra virgin. The ideal would be the oil of the Arbequina variety, which due to its softness is the favorite of the confectioners. We make it with Beloleum Arbequina, which is fruity, soft, light and with a sweet touch. In short, we recommend that it be a soft variety, since if you use an intense EVOO such as the Picual variety, it will steal all the prominence from the rest of the ingredients in the recipe.
