Garlic oil

Garlic oil is an ingredient derived from garlic, a plant known for its pungent and distinctive taste. To make garlic oil, garlic cloves are typically crushed or minced and then infused in a carrier oil, such as olive oil or sunflower oil. This process allows the flavour and aroma of garlic to transfer into the oil, creating a concentrated form of garlic that can be used in cooking.

You might find garlic oil listed on food labels for its strong garlic flavour and aroma, which can enhance the taste of various dishes. It is commonly used in pasta sauces, salad dressings, marinades, and stir-fries to add a delicious garlicky taste. Garlic oil can also be brushed onto bread for a tasty garlic bread or drizzled over roasted vegetables for added flavour. It is a popular ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine and is valued for its convenience in providing the taste of fresh garlic without the need for peeling and chopping cloves.
