When you think of olive oil, dessert might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Yet, olive oil is a versatile ingredient with complex flavours and is as well suited to baking and desserts as it is for cooking savoury dishes. In Southern Italy olive trees are ubiquitous and olive oil is abundant and inexpensive and so the frugal cooks of the south embrace the use of olive oil over butter in many desserts with delicious results. In this class we explore just a few of the sweets from the Italian kitchen where olive oil is allowed to shine.

Olive oil citrus cake with a mascarpone cream, dark chocolate and olive oil budino with a sprinkling of sea salt and toasted pistachio and a sweet taralli cookie made with red wine and olive oil are all on the menu.
