At many Italian restaurants it is no longer popular to serve bread with butter. Many people prefer dipping their bread in oil and vinegar instead of slathering it with butter. People appreciate the fact that they can control their fat intake by using a little less oil and adding a bit more vinegar. The most popular combination is usually olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

What most people don’t know is that oil and vinegar are used more often than butter in Italy. Unlike here in America, where just about anything is fried in butter, topped or dipped in melted butter, Italians have traditionally used the more heart-healthy alternative of olive oil. So next time you visit your favorite Italian café don’t feel embarrassed to ask the waiter to bring oil and vinegar cruets to your table.
