While an olive oil Easter egg might not have much effect on Italian children who prefer Kinder Surprise Easter eggs, it could be an interesting match for olive oil buffs who also like chocolate.
The unusual oil and chocolate match was presented at Vinitaly by a producer from the Marche who explained that dark chocolate and olive oil is a harmonious combination.
It also makes way for some more innovative exploration of Italian cooking traditions and products.
We have our doubts that an olive oil Easter egg will replace our preferred standard chocolate, but at least it’s good to see some experimentation happening in the world of Italian culinary tastes.
