Ladies and gentlemen, I have found my newest foodie obsession: balsamic vinegar and ice cream. Specifically, cinnamon pear balsamic vinegar from The Ancient Olive and French vanilla ice cream. I am serious. This is one of the most delicious combinations I have had in a long time. Honestly, I don’t really like vanilla ice cream, but while visiting The Ancient Olive in Winter Park with Orlando Food Tours, Nick introduced us to the idea of olive oil and balsamic vinegar on ice cream. Using a combination of blood orange olive oil, dark chocolate balsamic vinegar, and a small scoop of ice cream, he hooked an entire group of people on this strange new idea. I dare you to give it a try. Find a flavor you would like and give it a try. If you’re not sure where to start, head to The Ancient Olive in Winter Park, and ask for Nick. He’ll know what you’re talking about.
