Olive oil on ice cream — so hot right now. You've probably seen this combination trending on TikTok, and for good reason — the nuanced flavors of a solid olive oil play delightfully well with the rich, creamy vibe of ice cream. Despite this recent trend of drizzling the golden oil on the beloved dairy treat, olive oil has always been a kitchen staple for uses like roasting vegetables or garnishing dishes. Quick history lesson: After originating in Syria or sub-Saharan Africa, as noted in a research paper published by the American Society for Horticultural Science, the olive migrated throughout different human interventions, becoming a staple of Mediterranean diets, and can now be found all over the world. 

I live by Ina Garten's philosophy of always buying the good stuff. In fact, Tasting Table previously laid out the best olive oil brands for you here. But keep in mind, you should always buy olives (and olive oil) harvested by hand, not machine. But are you ready to branch out past purely savory usages of olive oil in the kitchen? It's time to bring your favorite olive oil into the dessert arena. 

I'll walk you through the 11 best olive oil varietals to put on your next bowl of ice cream, from vanilla to chocolate and everything in between. The olive oils I've selected for your ice cream gilding-usage come from personal experience with selling olive oil at an olive oil and vinegar store and also from internet research.
$( Read on for an interesting story. I like Lucini Olive oil and it has really increased in price. It is a single source not blended which I find tasty. ( Priced at $22 or $24, a bottle)

I will give it a try with a single source olive oil. I'll try it with vanilla and coffee ice cream. All for curiosity sake. I like bee pollen on vanilla ice cream and plain yogurt. Has many benefits, ie the bee pollen!

I think I will save the olive oil for salad dressings and to saute veggies. The idea of putting olive oil on ice cream gags me just thinking about it.

I would be willing to try it.

Last time I looked a gallon of standard olive oil was $40.00. I only use it for flavoring and I brush it on to the pan, I do not pour!!. Hand harvested olive oil? Really? Sorry, I need to feed my cat, pay my rent, put gas in my car... our culture has fried our brains into thinking we really need all this expensive crap... ice cream is ice cream... oiling it up won't make it better, but chocolate sauce sure will!!

We have a place called Olive Oil Divine that sells nothing but olive oils and balsamic vinegars. They have dozens of different varieties and mixes of olive oil and it is in large stainless steel containers with spigots. They have little paper cups that hold about a tablespoon and people are encouraged to taste the different products. I can't imagine tasting more than a couple. I bought olive oil there a couple of times but not being a connaisseur of fine oils I decided that my untrained palate couldn't really notice a big difference in flavor from what I can buy in the supermarket. I bought a $70 bottle of balsamic there once a few years ago. I didn't find it all that irresistible either. Kroger's carries a few brands of olive oil and I only buy it a pint at a time. Probably some of it is bottled at the Griffiss Business Park. As for balsamic, I just don't use it anymore or I purchase the inexpensive fake balsamic.

I try not to use too much oil. My weakness is bacon fat for frying eggs and fried potatoes. For most things I drizzle a couple of tablespoons of oil or a dab of butter and brush it around.

Gee, maybe Dairy Queen will concoct a new flavor Blizzard. Garlic Ice Cream with olive oil whipped in, topped with black olive tapenade and garnished with a large Kalamata olive and dab of sour cream.
