What is Infusion

Oil infusion involves the process of adding any herb or botanical to a carrier oil, butter or fat of your choosing.

This process infuses the goodness of the ingredients into the oil, making it a healthier choice for cooking, consumption or topical use.

Plus, it's a great way to add flavor to your food and scent to your homecare creations, not to mention the health benefits provided by the botanical properties of the infusion.

With just a few simple ingredients you can create an extensive range of creations that will impress even the most discerning palates!

WHY LÄ’VO?
What is Infusion Used For?

Infused oil, butter, honey, milk and more is a simple way to tasty, healthy flavor without using processed ingredients. 

Infusion is actually the back-of-house secret behind some of the best restaurant dishes!

Think about the difference between a regular sponge cake made plain canola oil compared to a cake made with espresso bean and anise infused almond oil... there's a big difference in flavor.

Infusion goes beyond the kitchen, too. Infuse ingredients for lotions, serums, bath bombs and more to control what goes in and on your body.

The Benefits of
Home Infusion

There are a great number of benefits and reasons to begin your journey into the world of home infusions!

While everyone will have their own motivations for venturing into this time-honored craft, the chances of discovering all new uses, flavors, scents, and applications for what you've created are unbelievably high.

In fact, the sky is the limit!

Health Benefits

There are many health benefits to creating your own home infusions. 

Whether you suffer from chronic pain, insomnia, or are interested in improving your overall health and well-being, home infusions can help get you there. 

When you infuse at home you get the health benefits of powerful herbs saturated into healthy fats for use in foods and topicals. 

This helps their bioavailability and makes the healthiest application method possible for your needs, be it topical or ingestible! 

You can control the potency, manage dosing, and can wholeheartedly trust in the ingredients you are putting into your body. 

WHY LÄ’VO?

Control What You Consume

One of the most desired benefits of home infusion is the ability to control the ingredients of the products you consume and use on a daily basis. 

From food, to skincare, and other medicinal tinctures or topicals, removing additives from most things is implausible

Usually, premade infusions use extraction techniques and add-ons that result in unwanted additives. 

By hand selecting the ingredients for your infusion, you can ensure that only the most wholesome ingredients make their way into your body. 

The process of infusing is simple and unmatched in the power it returns of controlling the products that can help or hinder your health through their consumption.

Infusing provides the true richness of plant botanicals, adding a deeper flavor profile to any base. 

Infuse the subtle or complex flavors of spices, herbs, florals and more with a simple pairing. 

Indulge in a diverse pool of flavors, hand-crafted by you and for you! 

Additionally, home infusion enables you the opportunity to tailor any creation to your own personal tastes, while maintaining the flexibility to edit any infused delicacy thereafter!

What Carrier Liquids Are Best?

Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin E and is popular because of its versatility. ‘Extra virgin’ means that the oil hasn’t been extracted from the olives using heat or chemicals. 

Olive oil can safely be used to cook with as it has a smoke point of between 374°F and 405°F.

WHY LÄ’VO?

Avocado Oil

A great oil to use for heart health, avocados may help reduce the risks of stroke and heart attacks by helping maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. 

The monounsaturated fats that are found in avocados are helpful for cholesterol and are also a great brain food (our brains need fat to work well!). 

With a really high smoke point of 520°F, infused avocado oil is a great choice for stir-frying or roasting vegetables.

WHY LÄ’VO?

Coconut Oil and MCT Oil

These are popular options, and longingly selected for their versatility for use in both recipes and topicals.

The Challenges with Old School Infusion

Filtering Hot Oil

All other infusion methods require bulky filter bags, silicone gloves, or expensive funnels and presses to strain the herbs out of your oil.

Overall Mess

Traditional infusion methods and other machines are messy, not dishwasher safe, and stink up your house (plus cooking oil on a stovetop for hours is dangerous!)

Managing time and temperature manually

Crock pots and over-simplified competitors don’t allow you to control the precise time and temperature - in fact, you’re even left guessing how hot your infusion is and when it will be ready.

Taste!

Methods that use blades to chop herbs and release unnecessary chlorophyll into the carrier oil. The infusion ends up dark and dirty tasting.

How Do I Get Started Infusing?

People have developed numerous ways to infuse botanicals into carriers. 

Infusion has been done with ovens, crock pots, blenders, and double boilers, all followed by manual straining through cheesecloth.

Though these processes are a decent start… results are messy, inconsistent, and hard to replicate.

In order to create a proper infusion, precise temperature control and attention is crucial – this is the main challenge with the devices above.
