      1. In a small pot, boil water and salt heavily. Prepare a bowl with ice and water.
      2. Quickly add chives to the boiling water (10 seconds), then transfer to ice bath.
      3. Squeeze all the excess moisture from the chives, then add to a small blender or food processor with Filippo Berio Delicato Olive Oil.
