Olive oil and vinegar are a good place to start for the beginner, since they are quickest to infuse and require minimal investment. They also make great gifts, especially for summer events (but once you infuse, you can enjoy the fresh flavors of summer all year round). And because of vinegar’s acidity, herbal vinegar’s last for several months, of course if you make them well, they don’t last long at all!
Dipping oils and vinegar’s, or “infused” oils and vinegar’s are similar to salad dressings, in that they are based in quality, great tasting oils or vinegar’s (or both) with herbs, spices or vegetable bits for flavor. Make your own, start here, click the link below!
