It is simplicity itself and only needs the addition of fresh flavorsome bread, oils infused with herbs and spices, and creative sauces. This appetizer will always be a success and your guests will appreciate a change from the usual raw vegetable fare, and be keen to continue this trend in their own homes.

Present your selected Mediterranean breads next to your stylish dipping dish filled with fine extra virgin olive oil and your appetizer will be most impressive. Whatever the time of day, whether casual or formal, this appetizer will be appropriate because of its versatility.

Your bread dipping appetizer can easily be prepared at home as long as you have a good bottle of extra virgin olive oil in your pantry. It is common to find a bottle of olive oil in most kitchens but this is generally used for cooking as it is quite bland in taste. As a rule, it is better to use a superior quality extra virgin olive oil for this dish as the flavor is so distinctive and is ideally suited for bread dipping.

Extra light olive oil is so named because of its color and taste, and not because it has any fewer calories than other olive oils. Because it does not have an intense flavor and is not as heavy as other oils it can ideally be used for baking in place of other corn or vegetable oils you may usually use.

Cruets for drizzling

Something very irritating happens when using oil and vinegar and that can only be described as the ‘dripping effect’!

There is never an occasion when oil and vinegar condiments don’t seem to drip. This is a phenomenon that happens everywhere to everyone. The drip does not discriminate between professional chefs or those of us who are simply entertaining at home. Kitchen surfaces, cupboards, table linens, floors and aprons are all immune to the drip. The biggest culprit is olive oil which spreads everywhere leaving an unpleasant oily residue. Not to be outdone, gourmet vinegar can create just as many dripping problems and combined with the olive oil that has dripped you are left with greasy adhesive patches that are unpleasant to touch let alone clean, not to mention the damage they cause to anything they come into contact with. However, there is a very welcome solution to the problem, and this comes in the form of the drizzle cruet. Drizzle cruets are ingeniously designed to prevent any drips from your expensive gourmet oil and vinegar from escaping and dispense the ideal rate of flow, thus making you’re dripping problem a thing of the past.

The drizzle cruet is produced in Europe and manufactured from a laboratory tested glass called borosilicate which is resilient, and easy to clean. The designers of this product have teamed both practicality and distinctive European style. The drizzle cruet comprises of two pieces. The component that prevents the dripping effect is the funnel which is used for filling, and because of its design prevents any drips from falling. The ideal rate of flow of the oil and vinegar is due to the angle of the glass spout.
