VINAIGRETTE PREPARATION Combine 2 parts Habanero Olive Oil with 1 part balsamic vinegar. Whisk together and serve. To emulsify dab in a small amount of dijon mustard or light mayo and continue whisking. Oil and balsamic will become creamy in appearance. Refrigerate remaining amount for up to 3 days. MARINADE PREPARATION Combine equal parts Habanero Olive Oil with equal parts balsamic vinegar. We recommend preparing just enough to cover the protein. Place in zip-lock bag and squeeze out air. Place in refrigerator for at least six hours. Note: For Fish and fresh seafood, we recommend rubbing the Habanero Olive Oil into the raw protein in the absence of the balsamic vinegar for approximately 30 minutes. We recommend NOT using balsamic during the marinade step to prevent the acidic balsamic from breaking down the delicate protein. Instead, combine Chipotle Olive Oil and balsamic and use to drizzle over the finished product. HEAT APPLICATIONS Applying heat to any oil or balsamic may slightly reduce the original flavor profile. To bring back any lost flavors prepare a small amount of fresh marinade and drizzle over the finished product.

BALSAMIC MARINATED STEAK A personal favorite, this steak will present with a beautiful caramelization on the outer crust while maintaining a gorgeous medium-rare color inside. The best way to grill steak is on a HOT and SEASONED rack – so be sure to heat your grill in advance as well as season your grate with oil on a rag. Pair steak with grilled asparagus marinated in lemon juice and your favorite EVOO, and a hand-crafted starch; you will win hearts with this flavor profile.
