Durant Lemon Fused Olive Oil is by far one of our favorite and most versatile olive oils we make here at the Durant Olive Mill. It pairs incredibly well with seafood, roasted vegetables and makes lovely, bright vinaigrettes for salads. As a chef, I like to keep most of my meals quite simple at home, and the following recipe for Lemon Olive Oil Baked Black Cod with Herb Roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Simply Dressed Arugula Salad is a perfect example of a light, healthy meal that can be made quickly and still packs a ton of flavor! We hope you enjoy this no fuss recipe in your home kitchen!

Cheers, Eric & Sara, Durant Culinary Directors

Dulce de Leche Chocolate Brownies

Everyone loves these brownies, and for good reason. They hit the perfect sweet spot between fudge and cake, with a rich, satisfying texture that keeps you coming back for more. Topped with luscious ribbons of dulce de leche and a sprinkle of Espresso Brava salt, they’re as beautiful as they are indulgent.

Chef's notes: check during baking that the dulce de leche doesn't get too dark. If you see it browning, tent the pan with foil making sure it doesn't come into contact with the brownies. Use toothpicks as props if necessary. For example, the baking schedule in my professional convection oven is: Bake 8 minutes uncovered, take brownies out and tent with toothpicks, then bake for an additional 22 minutes
