Ever tried The Tubby Olive’s Dessert Balsamics? Dark Chocolate, Espresso, Black Cherry and Raspberry Balsamics, known as the 4 “Dessert Balsamics”, are delicious drizzled over fresh fruit, pound cake or even ice cream! But they’re also wonderful over steak, roasted vegetables and seafood. Marinate chicken in Black Cherry Balsamic whisked together with Chipotle Olive Oil, drizzle Espresso Balsamic and Roasted Walnut Oil over grilled asparagus or Brussels Sprouts, reduce Dark Chocolate Balsamic and pour over steak with crumbled blue cheese on top and you will be amazed!
