The Chocolate Olive Oil was introduced in 2011 as a healthy alternative ingredient that adds chocolate flavor without extra sugar for cakes and other bakery cre- ations. In addition to its uses in pancakes, muffins and cakes, Ariston Chocolate Olive Oil pairs well with Ariston Raspberry or Black Cherry Balsamic Vinegars for use on yogurts, ice cream, fruit and salads. As a mari- nade, it gives meats a smoky, rich flavor, and as a dipping oil, it provides the health benefits of extra-vir- gin olive oil.
