I bemoaned the lack of availability of OliveIt – an olive oil and butter mixed spread. Decided to try my hand and whip up my own rendition. It’s essentially half olive oil and half butter and very easy to make.

Soften two sticks of butter in a mixing bowl. Measure one cup of olive oil into the bowl. With a hand mixer, whip the butter into the olive oil until smooth and uniform. Pour the mixture into containers, such as spread tubs. Put the tubs into the fridge to set overnight. Next day, spread and enjoy!

That’s a great way to get olive oil into your diet. The mixture remains soft in the tubs and is very spreadable. A little goes a long way and it tastes heavenly!
