This is a seriously authentically flavoured oil, which was utterly delicious as an accompaniment dip for my bourbon maple red onion and feta sourdough bread (yes, this infused bread was made with one of the balsamics). The smokiness was the perfect intense-level for me personally, and it brought my appetiser to a whole new level. One of your best!
Calabrian Pomodoro Sauce

Our moderately spiced Calabrian Infused Olive Oil and Roasted Garlic White Balsamic add depth and aroma, elevating the sauce's appeal. It's perfect for creating plenty of delicious pasta dishes.
Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Calabrian Infused Olive Oil
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1/2 cup yellow onion, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon Roasted Garlic White Balsamic
28 ounces Roma or Campari tomatoes, peeled and seeded
2 sprigs fresh basil
1 teaspoon Fleur de Sel
Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Heat Calabrian Infused Olive Oil in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and onion to the skillet, and sauté for 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with vinegar, add the tomatoes and basil sprigs, stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and continue cooking for 30 minutes.
Once cooked, set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Once cooled, remove the basil sprigs from the pot, and transfer the rest of the mix to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer the pomodoro sauce to a sealable container and refrigerate until ready to use. Alternatively, you can preserve this sauce using your favorite canning method.
