How to Apulian Olive Oil Foam

What You Need to Know

The foam is created by whipping olive oil with a whisk or blender, incorporating air into the mixture and creating a stable foam. The resulting foam is light and airy, with a rich olive oil flavor. The emulsification of olive oil and air is key to achieving the desired texture.

This technique is unique to the Apulia region of Italy and is often used as a garnish for salads, soups, and other dishes.
