Belva Fredo olive oil

Active Time: 40 minutes

Steps

Prepare the Bread:
Cut the rustic batard in half. If the bread is very thick, slice it horizontally to create a flatter base for the toppings.

Garlic Infusion:
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Cheese Preparation:
Slice or crumble the sheep’s cheese into bite-sized pieces or thin slices.

Prepare the Orange:
Zest the orange, avoiding the white pith. Set the zest aside.
Peel and slice the orange horizontally into thin rounds.

Assembling the Toppings:
Arrange the cheese slices or crumbles on the bread.
Add the anchovies and distribute the black olives.
Sprinkle the minced garlic over the top.

Adding Fresh Herbs:
Tear or chop the herbs (oregano, thyme, dill) and sprinkle them over the toppings.

Drizzling Olive Oil:
Lightly drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the toppings. This adds richness and helps to meld the flavors together.

Final Touches:
Place the orange slices on top.
Sprinkle the orange zest over the dish for added citrus flavor.
