Infused olive oil adds depth and complexity to dishes, elevating them with the flavors, effects, and aromas of herbs, spices, fruits, or even vegetables.

Choosing the Right Olive Oil 

The quality of the olive oil you use for infusion plays a vital role in the final flavor profile of your creation. Opt for a high-quality, extra-virgin olive oil that has a mild and balanced flavor. This will serve as a neutral base that allows the infused flavors to shine through. Remember, the higher the quality of your olive oil, the better the end result will be.

Exploring Infusion Ingredients 

One of the most exciting aspects of infusing olive oil is the wide array of ingredients you can use to create unique and personalized flavors. From aromatic herbs like rosemary, thyme, and basil to spicy peppers, citrus zest, and even exotic spices, the possibilities are endless. Experiment with different combinations to discover your favorite flavor profiles. We recommend starting with a single ingredient infusion to truly appreciate its distinct character before moving on to complex blends.

I’m so excited I just bought my machine but I’m not certain how long the oil last on a shelf refrigerator! So when you make infused oil what is your recommendation for shelflife?
