Rosemary Olive Oil for Dipping

Need a quick idea for a savory pre-dinner or side dish compliment? This takes less than 5 minutes to prepare - no cooking involved.
The best thing to pair with toasted bread is tasty olive oil. Infuse olive oil with fresh rosemary, cracked black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. The key to making it top notch is the olive oil. You need to invest in really good extra virgin olive oil - so tasty, thick, (and pricey) that you wouldn't use this to cook with, rather it is a garnishing olive oil.

The olive oil I chose to use was Anomaly Vineyard's Olive Oil. We went to this vineyard to taste wine and have a private tour with the owner, and we walked out with this bottle of olive oil. This tiny vineyard in St. Helena, Napa Valley County grows olives in Italy and makes extra virgin olive, importing and selling it at their Napa Valley vineyard. I recommend stopping here to taste the fantastic wine/olive oil if you are ever in town!
