In the heart of her recipe lies Val's unwavering love for the breakfast ritual. The art of breakfast-making becomes a cherished daily routine, filled with the excitement of experimenting with novel ideas and flavor combinations. For Val @suckerforcutefood, olive oil is an indispensable culinary companion, lending its distinct character to every dish. It's this very love that sparked the idea of marrying her two breakfast essentials in an extraordinary culinary creation: Oats and Cantasole olive oil.
