Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Black olives (pitted)
- 250 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic (optional, for added flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Rinse the black olives thoroughly with cold water to remove any brine or residue. Drain them well and pat dry with paper towels.
If using garlic, roughly chop the clove for easier blending.
In a blender or food processor, combine the black olives, extra virgin olive oil, chopped garlic (if using), and a pinch of salt (if desired).
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and fully emulsified. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even consistency.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt if desired.
Once smooth, transfer the black olive oil into a clean, airtight glass jar or bottle.
Store the black olive oil in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow it to come to room temperature before using, as it may thicken when chilled.
Enjoy your black olive oil drizzled over salads, bread, or as a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes!
