DRESSING, DIPPING & DRIZZLING
The fresh natural flavors of Ah love Extra virgin olive oil & aged balsamic vinegars make them exceptional salad or vegetable dressings or for dipping & drizzling over fresh or cooked foods.
Salad Dressing
A good ratio is 1/3 balsamic vinegar to 2/3 olive oil. Add a touch of sea salt & ground pepper, whisk to emulsify the oil & pour over your greens or vegetables just before eating. Using different oil and vinegar combinations adds volumes of flavor. Tasty dressing combinations include:
Lime Olive Oil with Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar
Rosemary Olive Oil with Fig Balsamic (especially good on roasted root vegetables)
Basil Olive Oil with Cucumber Melon Balsamic
Lemon Olive Oil with Bordeaux Cherry Balsamic (great on fruit salads)
Lavender Olive Oil with Lemon White Balsamic
Dipping & Drizzling
Freshly baked bread dipped in extra virgin olive oil & a tad of balsamic vinegar is mouth-watering and a perfect, easy hors d’ oeuvre.
Add a sprinkling of parmesan cheese over the classic Tuscan Herb Olive Oil with 18 year-old Balsamic
Rosemary Olive Oil with Fig Balsamic (great with olive bread)
Blood Orange Olive Oil with Espresso Balsamic (with a hearty multiple-grain or raisin walnut bread)
Garlic Olive Oil with Hickory Smoked Balsamic
Fresh fruit, soft cheeses, pound cake & ice cream all transform with the addition of a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar. Try any of our fruit balsamics (Fig, Lemon, Bordeaux Cherry) or the rich decadent taste of Dark Chocolate or Espresso balsamic. A plate of soft rich goat cheese drizzled with Fig Balsamic makes a beautiful presentation and an unforgettable taste. Try Bordeaux Cherry or Pumpkin Spice Balsamic drizzled on your pancakes!
