Move over, Nutella. Extra virgin olive oil enhances this silken hazelnut chocolate cream, lending incredible smoothness and luster while allowing its rich chocolate flavor and roasted nut aroma to shine through.
A baker's essential, Noccioliva is wonderful drizzled into bread pudding, added to pastry cream to fill tarts, or used in the batter for a soufflé. For a simple dessert, serve a bowl of Noccioliva with plenty of fresh fruit, dried fruit, and biscotti for dipping. Try swirling a few spoonfuls throughout banana bread.
