My husband and I were in San Francisco as the final stop on a drive up the PCH for our first wedding anniversary, and we stopped into Bi-Rite Creamery wanting to try their famous Sam's Sundae: chocolate ice cream topped with Maldon sea salt flakes and Bergamot olive oil. Due to a glitch with their olive oil distributor, it was sadly off the menu that night! I created this recipe to experience the flavor at home; get a good olive oil here as the flavor is the star. If you are lucky to live near a nice olive oil shop (like my old favorite from Columbus, Ohio, the Green Olive Company), I bet experimenting with different flavors would yield nice results, but I particularly like the perfumed orange flavor of bergamot.
