This is from "Io e il mio Bimby" book (Italian EDC)
It's very easy and fast to make it. I hope you like.

Note: If you think that it is very dense for your taste, you can always make it thinner by adding some boiling water

I'm sure this is a silly question, but what is EVO?
Thanks!

It's not silly at all! EVO is extra-virgin olive oil.
As a matter of fact I didn't understand either when I first read it. Later I saw that it is used very often so I figured out that it's me who didn't know about it as you did. I started using too to save some time while writing the recipes

Somehow a comment that I thought was left here is gone   having computer & brain problems.

Just wondered why they would use reverse and soft when they are going to blend it anyway?  Sounds great and I make something similar, but not sure why the reverse?

Have to ask Bimby HQ?

Exactly!!
When I first read about it I thought just as you did. It didn't make sense to me
However I made as they wrote thinking that they may be knowing something that I don't know
Let me know if you find out the secret
