I’m a salt-in-chocolate lover (seriously, canNOT get enough of that), but this is the first time I hear of combining it with olive oil. I’m up for new flavours, so will be trying this for sure!

PS: Great food styling!

Yum! I remember coming across an olive oil based chocolate mousse once a long time ago before starting blogging, but this sounds like an even yummier take on the flavour combo
