Infused Olive Oil - Several image

At a winery last week I tasted several fabulous infused olive oils. Rosa was kind enough to share with me how to make them myself. This can save a bunch of bucks!!! All are scaled to 1 cup of oil. If making a bunch for presents, just scale the recipe. Then look around and think about other things you would like to use....maybe truffles.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality oranges or lemons. The flavor of your infused oil will be directly affected by the quality of the fruit you use. Look for oranges or lemons that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for infusing, as it has a rich flavor and aroma. You can also use a lighter olive oil, such as refined or pure olive oil, but the flavor of the infused oil will be less intense.
  • Wash the oranges or lemons thoroughly before using them. This will help to remove any dirt or bacteria from the fruit. You can also peel the oranges or lemons before infusing the oil, but this is not necessary.
  • Use a variety of techniques to infuse the oil. You can infuse the oil with orange or lemon zest, juice, or slices. You can also use a combination of these techniques. The longer you infuse the oil, the more intense the flavor will be.
  • Store the infused oil in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve the flavor and aroma of the oil. You can store the infused oil for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Orange- or lemon-infused olive oil is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for drizzling over salads, grilled vegetables, or roasted chicken. You can also use it to make marinades, dressings, and vinaigrettes. With just a little time and effort, you can create your own delicious infused olive oil that will add a burst of flavor to your favorite dishes.
