Charlie & Ivy's - Garlic, Oregano & Balsamic Bread Dipper, 200ml

Product Information

Shred your own Parmesan cheese. Pre-shredded cheeses are coated in some weird stuff. So skip pre-shredded. Fresh garlic. I like to grate or mince my garlic. You are welcome to use garlic powder for the days you have less than 5 mins to prep something, but fresh garlic really adds to this dipping oil. If you love dipping french bread in olive oil as much as I do, you’re going to love this delicious and easy way to enhance the flavor of your olive oil. By adding salt, herbs, and spices – along with some parmesan cheese – we’re loading up every bite of bread with a ton of flavor, you won’t be able to resist the urge to double-dip! Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The obvious key ingredient here is extra virgin olive oil. A great quality olive oil is perfect and all but use what doesn't break your wallet! Another money-saving tip is to use butter, however, I HIGHLY recommend using olive oil. Olive oil is higher in monounsaturated fats (the good kind) and butter is higher in saturated fats (the not-so-great ones you want to limit).

Garlic Intensity: If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Conversely, garlic enthusiasts may want to add more. While this recipe only has a handful of ingredients, it is very important to use good quality ingredients. In some recipes, it doesn’t make any difference. But in this recipe, it makes a huge difference. It’s a simple yet elegant appetizer when paired with our No-knead bread, baguette, or any good artisan bread. This is always the first to go to parties!Fresh herb– as a fresh herb, I have used fresh basil. Lots of basil is growing in my kitchen garden this time of the year and I always look for ways to use it in recipes. This infused oil recipe is the perfect way to use them. If you don’t have fresh basil, sure you can use dried basil or can substitute it with other herbs like rosemary, thyme, parsley, or even mint. You can also use a combination of your favorite fresh herb. Step by step process making of your own olive oil dip for bread This best-selling and award-winning Bread Dipper is a Mediterranean inspired flavour combination with the perfect blend of British cold-pressed rapeseed oil, garlic oil, balsamic vinegar and oregano. Dried oregano has a bold, slightly bitter taste with hints of citrus and pepper. It adds a Mediterranean flair and a slightly zesty flavor to the dip. I love to serve this bread dip on cheese plates, with appetizer spreads, with fresh baked breads and rolls, or with baguettes. It is delicious brushed over toasted baguettes for bruschetta, and even tossed with pasta or salad for an extra burst of flavor! Of course, serve with your favorite dipping bread! My personal favorites are sourdough, crostini, a french baguette, or focaccia bread. 🍽 Storing Olive Oil Bread Dip

Feel free to adjust any of the spices and herbs to your liking. You can easily play around with this recipe. You will never go wrong. Dried basil contributes a sweet and slightly peppery flavor to the dip. It adds a hint of herbal freshness to the overall taste.Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes – Ensure that your Italian seasoning and chili flakes are fresh – they often lose their flavor the longer they have been around.

Parmesan cheese– The quality of Parmesan cheese is also important for this olive oil bread dip. I don’t recommend using the canned kind that doesn’t even require refrigeration sitting on the shelf near the pasta. Use good quality parmesan cheese. Vegetarian parmesan cheese is easily available in whole foods and sprouts. Since fresh garlic is used, keep refrigerated to avoid the risk of spoiling. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Allow the oil to come to room temperature before serving. Whisk together before serving. Separation is normal. 🥣 More Dips Recipes Flavoured with sharp Asiago cheese and balanced with artichokes and capers this product is a combination of sunflower oil, olive oil and Chardonnay wine vinegar.
