Avocado Toast: tips to make it irresistible 

Making perfect avocado toast is simple, but with a few tricks you can turn it into a truly special dish. Here are tips for bringing out the best of its flavor and texture:

• Choose the right avocado: The basis of a good avocado toast is, of course, a properly ripened avocado. It should be soft but still firm, with no parts too soft or dark. One trick? Press lightly near the stem: if it gives way without being too soft, it's ready to be enjoyed!
• Use a quality extra virgin oil: a fruity, delicate oil enhances the flavor of the avocado without overpowering it, adding depth to the flavor. A drizzle of raw oil will enhance all the flavors and make each bite even more enjoyable.
• Play with textures: add a touch of crunch with sesame seeds, chopped walnuts or a pinch of chili pepper for a striking contrast. If you love stronger contrasts, you can also add pistachio granules or toasted almond slivers.
• Enhance flavors with seasoning: avocados have a delicate taste that can be emphasized with the right combinations. A pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon or lime juice will help balance the sweetness of the flesh and add freshness. If you prefer a more aromatic flavor, you can add a touch of black pepper or a few leaves of cilantro or fresh parsley.
• Customize with extra ingredients: for an extra touch, try topping your avocado toast with a poached egg, smoked salmon or a layer of cream cheese.

Extra virgin olive oil: how to make your avocado toast delicious

Extra virgin olive oil is the ingredient that gives avocado toast a fresh, creamy touch. Here are some tips for making the most of it:

• Use it in moderation so as not to cover up the flavor of the avocado, but to enhance its natural smoothness.
• Add a drizzle of raw oil over the already spread avocado for a final touch of richness and flavor.

For this recipe, we chose Farchioni Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil 100% Italian, which, with its fruity and delicate taste, perfectly complements avocado toast without overpowering it.
