Bread and olive oil. Sicily's oldest answer to hunger.
This is the version that lives on every table before dinner starts — fragrant with garlic and herbs, sharp with balsamic, warm from the bowl. Set it out with crusty bread and watch it disappear before anyone even sits down.
COSÌ COM'È
Sicily's oldest answer to hunger. Bread, oil, herbs, and five minutes.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Tutto Sicilia Extra Virgin Olive Oil

- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh Italian parsley, chopped
- ½–1 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1–2 tbsp quality balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Pour the olive oil into a wide, shallow serving bowl. Add the Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes, and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Finish with the balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
Nonna's Notes
Use a balsamic with some age on it — the sweetness matters here. And don't skimp on the pepper.
One ingredient. A thousand uses. Always Sicilian.
