Use extra virgin oil they say, it is healthier for you they say. I listened to them until the day I discovered these homemade infused olive oils recipes. Just like the homemade flavored salts recipe and the homemade laundry solutions recipes, this is something that you could try in your own kitchen. You will be happy to know that it is a pretty easy process, that in most cases takes less than 5 minutes.
I know a lot of people prefer to use olive oil for cooking versus any other type of cooking oil. There are many benefits for using olive oil including heart health as well as keeping your cholesterol levels low. When you infuse it with herbs, you are able to easily add more flavor to your cooking. There are many different combinations of herbs and spices you can infuse into your olive oil, it all depends on your personal preference.
