A few days ago, I infused olive oil with fresh basil using this recipe and put it in the pantry. I’ve since read a warning by Health Canada that herb infused oils made at home, esp. fresh herbs, can cause botulism, that the oil needs to be stored in the fridge and disposed of after a week! Does the heat during infusion kill possible spores on fresh herbs? I moved the oil to the fridge but am left wondering if it should be disposed of after a week.

Hi Jana! We do recommend research is done on this topic and you follow the guidelines for your fresh herb preferences, if you plan to use them this way. If you’d like your infusions to last longer, we’d recommend utilizing the Dry cycle (a feature of LĒVO II). This cycle is used to dehydrate garden fresh herbs and spices. Use it on garlic, basil, parsley, fresh ginger, etc. This removes the moisture from the plant to give your infusion better flavor and a longer shelf life.
I’d like a chart of something on the amounts of herbs to add to oils and butters..

Hi Stacey! What you do with your LĒVO is entirely customizable to your tastes & preferences. If you’d like specific recipes to follow for amounts, we’ve got delicious oils & butters on our website to browse for reference, such as Rosemary Olive Oil: https://levooil.com/blogs/recipes/how-infuse-rosemary-olive-oil.

Why is there no recipe for a basic garlic infused olive oil?
New to this machine! Any suggestions appreciated to make infused Basil Oil.
Definitely will use EVOO, but does anyone have experience with a specific brand or “flavor” (light, robust) that worked best?
Fresh herbs or freeze dried?
Thank you!

We recommend checking out one of our recipes with basil, here: https://levooil.com/blogs/recipes/garlic-avocado-oil. Either dried or fresh herbs work great, and if you only have fresh, you can dry them in LEVO! We recommend joining our LEVO Love Club Facebook group for helpful tips and tricks from other users. We hope this helps! 😊

Hi Kerry! You will fill the pod with oregano and add enough oil to fully submerge the herbs. We recommend using our LĒVO calculator for the best time/temperature recommendations. You can find that at https://levooil.com/pages/calculator. Please feel free to reach out if you need any additional assistance!
