What is garlic infused olive oil?

Infusion can be done with a wide range of ingredients, including herbs, spices, fruits, and even flowers. When it comes to garlic infused olive oil, the process involves immersing fresh garlic cloves in high-quality olive oil. The garlic cloves release their essence into the oil, creating a flavorful and aromatic infusion.

How do you make garlic infused oil?

To make "safe" garlic-infused oil, roughly chop 225g garlic and steep for 24 hours in a citric acid solution. To make the solution, dissolve 1 tablespoon of citric acid – available in the supermarket's baking section – in two cups of water. Leave this at room temperature.

How to make garlic infused olive oil?

To make your own garlic-infused olive oil, it’s important to use FRESH garlic, and a good quality olive oil. I do not recommend jarred or canned minced garlic for this recipe. Trust me- you want to use fresh garlic for the very best flavor! Peel all the paper peel/skin off of the garlic cloves.

Is garlic infused olive oil better than garlic flavored oil?

No. Garlic-infused olive oil just uses the two ingredients to increase flavor. Garlic-flavored oil usually has extra preservatives and sometimes coloring added to it. Garlic oil is also likely to be more flavorsome because of the higher concentration of garlic used. Can I add herbs to garlic-infused olive oil? Yes!
