Nutella with extra virgin olive oil
Boil the cream and pour it into a chopper or a Thermomix, processing on a medium speed. Add the fondant sugar, the two chocolates and the hazelnut paste and increase the speed in order to obtain a nice smooth mixture before drizzling in the oil. Spread on a slice of bread.

Structured oil butter
Melt the cocoa butter and gradually add the oil. Mix thoroughly and pour into the Pacojet, freeze and process to obtain a very light whipped mass. Make the pat of butter. Store in the fridge.

Extra virgin olive oil biscuit
As the melting point of oil is very low, we won't use the same procedure as for a classic shortbread. Instead, we will mix the flours, salt, icing sugar and chemical yeast in a planetary mixer. Mix the eggs, vanilla and oil butter with the leaf beater. As soon as the dough is compact, place in the fridge for a few hours. Roll out to the required thickness, perforating to prevent it from swelling, and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes so that the oil stabilises. Cook at 164 °C with the valve closed, for 13 minutes.

Marasca cherries in syrup
Drain the cherries, cut them in half (or into quarters depending on the size) and place in the middle of a spoon.

Russet apple juice
Fill a small dispenser and store in the fridge. Press the top twice to pour the juice into the spoon.
