Martin says, "Olive oil and chocolate might sound like an unlikely combination, but since we introduced olive oil aficionados The Trail Master at The Olive Trail to chocolatier Damian Allsop, we’ve found out that nothing could be further from the case! Damian has created some fantastic olive oil and water based ganaches using freshly harvested olive oil."
