If using a ramekin or bowl, place it directly on the table or your breadboard.<\/p>\n<p>Trim the wick if it is too long and place the candle on a serving plate.<\/p>\n<p>To serve, light the candle, allow the butter to melt slightly and dip bread for a luxurious, flavourful experience that\u2019s distinctly African Gold.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>An African-Inspired Setting<\/h3>\n<p>Make every meal memorable with African Gold Extra Virgin Olive Oil this festive season.
