Infused Olive Oil

[Josh Dekubber]

I picked up a new Chipotle infused cooking oil yesterday on my road trip in Arizona stopping at small towns on route 66.
Here's a picture of some of my favorites besides the basics like garlic and lemon.

Do any of you guys use anything like this? Just curious. I'm definitely not a chef. If you do what are some of your favorites?

That was going to be my retirement hobby, we were going to get 10 acres of Olive Orchards and I was going to make home infused olive oil. Unfortunately, the deal fell through, but it's not so unfortunate, now my retirement hobby is just walking the dog

I use a lot of olive oil but nothing infused. But I believe you can never have too many olive oil or salt options!

I like to use them for salad dressings, dipping, marinades.

We have a few infused olive oils in the cupboard as well as a few flavored balsamic vinegars, including a straight 18 year old balsamic. All have different purposes. For example, Basmati rice with a little onion & mushroom is wonderful when starting with butter and the sage mushroom olive oil.

I do an Italian style herb infused EVOO*. (Dried basil leaves, thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs & mint leaves). Very nice when mixed with balsamic vinegar to dip focaccia into.

*I prefer Greek Kalamata EVOO to any other.
