The kind of bread dip that becomes the entire meal.

To make it, combine:

• Chopped cherry tomatoes
• Fresh parsley
• Grated parmesan
• Chilli flakes
• Salt
• Neapolitan Herb Dark Balsamic
• Coratina Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Mix everything together and let it sit for a few minutes so all those flavours can come together. Serve with plenty of warm Italian bread.

For anyone who has ever bought a beautiful bottle of olive oil and then wondered what to do with it.

The Olive Oil & Vinegar Lover’s Cookbook is full of recipes that make the most of both, from simple dressings and marinades to dishes you might not have thought to use them in.

A really good Greek salad dressing doesn’t need to be complicated.

We used our Coratina Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Italy. Its fruity flavour and peppery finish hold up beautifully against the red w**e vinegar, lemon, garlic and oregano.

For the dressing:

• ⅓ cup Coratina Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 3 tbsp red w**e vinegar
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 small garlic clove, finely grated or minced
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Black cherry and Persian lime might not be the first pairing you think of, but it works. The balsamic is rich, sweet and slightly tart, while the zesty lime oil brightens it up and keeps it from feeling too heavy.

Try them together in a salad dressing, as a marinade or drizzled over grilled vegetables.

Squeezing in one more fresh, summery salad before the warm weather disappears. 🥒

This cucumber salad gets a little extra kick from our Madagascar Black Pepper Infused Olive Oil. It’s spicy and floral, with the flavour of freshly ground peppercorn and a lingering, tingly finish that works so well with cool, crisp cucumber.

Not your average mustard.

Smak Dab comes in flavours like Hot & Sweet Dill, B**r Chipotle, Canadian Maple, Honey Horseradish and Hot Honey Jalapeño, each one bringing a different mix of sweetness, heat and acidity.

Use them on sandwiches and charcuterie, or stir a spoonful into dressings, marinades and sauces when dinner needs a little something extra. Which flavour are you reaching for first?

A good loaf of bread and something really good to dip it in.
