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)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the black olives thoroughly with cold water to remove any brine or residue. Drain them well and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
If using garlic, roughly chop the clove for easier blending.
Step 3
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).
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and fully emulsified. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even consistency.
Step 5
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt if desired.
Step 6
Once smooth, transfer the black olive oil into a clean, airtight glass jar or bottle.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Enjoy your black olive oil drizzled over salads, bread, or as a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes!
