this only too well and uses only the finest olive oil
blends from across the Mediterranean to produce its
deliciously unique and discerning range of olive oils.
Filippo Berio has over 130 years of expertise in creating
a range of quality olive oils, crafted by its resident
blender, each Filippo Berio olive oil is made using
only the finest quality oils, which have been strictly
tested before only 6% are selected to make its signature
varieties.
 Ingredients
for Chocolate Mousse
175g / 6oz good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa
solids)
3 large free range eggs, separated
100g / 3oz golden caster sugar
3 tbsp very strong coffee, e.g. espresso
1 - 2 tbsp brandy (depending on taste)
100ml / 7 tbsp Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
How
to make Chocolate Mousse
- Break
the chocolate into a bowl, place over a small pan
of simmering water and allow to melt. Remove the bowl
from the pan and let it cool to lukewarm.
- Meanwhile
put the egg yolks and sugar into a large bowl and
whisk until thick and
pale in colour. Whisk in the coffee, brandy and olive
oil, then gradually fold in the melted chocolate.
- Whisk
the egg white until almost stiff, quickly fold in
a large tablespoon to the
chocolate mixture until smooth, then add the rest
of the egg white and lightly fold in, trying not to
beat out the air.
- Pour
the mixture into 8 small china dishes or 6 large shot
glasses and place in the
refrigerator until set.
- Serve
cold with fresh berries.
Tip:
Sprinkle
some extra grated chocolate or flakes of chocolate
over the top of each mousse, for an extra touch of
luxury.
