Ingredients

Bread Dipping Oil Ingredients

  • ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons parsley leaves (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons basil leaves (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons Castelvetrano olives (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons Kalamata olives (chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (grated)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon flaky sea salt (or more to taste)
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

Serving

  • Fresh warm bread (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Combine Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar: In a shallow bowl, pour the extra virgin olive oil and gently drizzle the balsamic vinegar on top to build the base flavor of the dipping oil.
  2. Add Fresh Herbs and Olives: Finely chop the parsley and basil leaves along with the Castelvetrano and Kalamata olives, then add these aromatic ingredients to the bowl to infuse the oil with vibrant color and taste.
  3. Season and Mix: Grate the garlic clove directly into the mixture, add the dried oregano and flaky sea salt, then freshly grate parmesan cheese over the top. Stir thoroughly so all ingredients are evenly combined and flavorful. Serve immediately alongside fresh, warm crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust sea salt amount according to taste preference.
  • This dipping oil is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Choose high-quality extra virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar for optimal taste.
  • Warm fresh bread enhances the dipping experience.
