Doña Elena Products and Cuisinera Club
I was able to attend the first Celebrity Cook –off Challenge sponsored by Doña Elena Cuisinera Club held at Annabelle’s Restaurant at T. Morato Quezon City. In the competition, celebrities and guest displayed their culinary genius in preparing appetizing Filipino dishes using Doña Elena olive oil.
Guest celebrities Gladys Reyes and Bernadette Allyson displayed their skills in preparing a meal using Doña Elena products such as Pure Olive oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Doña Elena Cuisinera Club advocates the use of olive oil as good partner in the kitchen. An oil rich in monosaturated fat Doña Elena olive oil has an anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive property. Olive oil is also abundant with polyphenols, a potent anti oxidant that scavenges harmful free radicals in the body.
Be a Cuisinera Club member.

Some of Doña Elena Products are Doña Elena olive oil, Doña Elena sardines, Doña Elena Anchovy, Doña Elena olives , green and black.
Before i remember Daddy used to cook Chicken Pastel with olives(it happened one time only coz olives is so costly)..We only know of olives as green,but roaming around on different supermarkets here in Dubai,there is actually different colors green,black,yellow.It depends on what country it came from (Spain,Egypt,Chile,Morocco)They mix it also with spices or stuffing it with sweet bell pepper inside,or carrots.\but for me the best tasting olives are from Spain,they are not salty,not bitter and stuffed with sweet bell pepper..its great with feta cheese and vegie salad and best of all u can munch it alone..
i want to participate in a cook-off too!
