infused oils
Herb-steeped cooking oils
Infused oils are cooking oils that have absorbed flavors from herbs, spices, garlic, chili, or other aromatics steeped in them: drizzle the rosemary-infused oil over the bread.
They differ from essential oils, which are concentrated plant extracts.
Homemade infused oils require refrigeration and quick use to prevent bacterial growth.
