In countries with an ancient and important olive culture, preparing desserts with Extra virgin olive oil is not a rarity but a (healthy) habit.
In Greece, the lemon pie made with olive oil is famous. In Mexico, as in some regions of Spain, it is not unusual to find hot chocolate recipes with the addition of a drizzle of olive oil. In Southern Italy, cookies and rustic cakes with olive oil are a classic of the precious peasant cuisine of the past, handed down from generation to generation.
