Gelato Con Olio E Sale (Ice Cream With Olive Oil & Sea Salt)

A la Carte's Note:

I have not made this, but I do intend to! It's just too darn tempting. And if it's no good, I'm only out a bowl of vanilla ice cream! This is from Jamie Oliver "Jamie's Italy". Measurements given were vague. Use the best quality Extra virgin olive oil you can find, with a grassy flavor.

I was scared to try it, but once I did, I loved it! Such a unique taste!
I think I made the mistake though of using unground sea salt. I used big ol salt crystals in mine, and it was too salty and I had to spit it out.
So, use ground sea salt. :) You'll love it.

Awesome! This was outstandingly delicious :) It's very satisfying and you really only need a small portion of ice cream to feel satisfied [how great is that?!] As others have mentioned, I can't really explain how this tastes, but it is wonderful. If you are an olive fan you'll enjoy this a lot! I've already eaten this 2 nights in a row! Thanks for posting!

Olive oil and ice cream? This sounded so interesting, I had to try it right away! I was apprehensive about what the taste was going to be like...I can't explain it either, but like the previous reviewers say, it's pretty good!
