Ingredients
-
1/2 cup Maine-ly Drizzle Myers Lemon olive oil

A few sprigs of fresh thyme leaves
-
2 tablespoons chopped Kalamata olives
-
2 tablespoons chopped dried cherries
-
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Combine all of the ingredients in a small glass bowl and mix to combine. Cover and let rest for at least 4 hours so that the flavors have time to meld.
Serve with a spoon or pour into small plates for serving with bread. This can be made up to 1 week ahead and covered in an airtight container and kept at room temperature.

This aged balsamic is amazingly complex with layers of authentic espresso and dark roasted coffee. It makes a fantastic glaze or barbeque base for pork, beef, and chicken and is exquisite used in an “affogato float”, which calls for a splash of espresso balsamic to a mug with a couple scoops of vanilla gelato and filled with coffee.
