If you’ve ever drizzled rosemary-infused olive oil over fresh bread or roasted vegetables, you know it’s more than just a condiment—it’s a transformation. Deep, herbal, and subtly garlicky, this oil adds layers of flavor to anything it touches. With the help of the Nutrify appliance, creating a beautifully infused olive oil at home is not only easy—it’s nearly effortless.
Infused oils can elevate everything from a basic vinaigrette to a grilled steak. And this one, with fresh rosemary and crushed garlic, is especially versatile. The rosemary imparts a piney, floral warmth while the garlic rounds it out with savory depth. Whether you’re using it to roast potatoes, marinate vegetables, or dip crusty bread, this oil makes every dish feel a little more special.
Store-bought infused oils often come at a premium price, and they frequently contain preservatives or artificial flavors. Making your own not only ensures cleaner ingredients, but it’s also far more economical. With just a few kitchen staples, you can craft a gourmet product for a fraction of the cost.
The Nutrify’s Slow Infusion mode gently extracts the full essence of the rosemary and garlic without overheating the oil or dulling its flavor. The result is an aromatic, golden oil that’s ready to brighten up your kitchen.
Ingredients (Makes ~10 servings)
- 400 ml (1⅔ cups) olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
Optional: Add a strip of lemon peel or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a custom twist.
Let’s Make It
Step 1: Load the Infuser
Add the olive oil, crushed garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs to the Nutrify container. Keep the rosemary intact so it’s easier to strain later.
Step 2: Begin the Infusion
Secure the lid, press the Mode Selection button until “Slow Infusion” lights up, and press Start. Over the next two hours, Nutrify will gently warm the oil to extract and blend the essential flavors.
Step 3: Strain and Store
Once finished, carefully pour the oil through a fine strainer or cheesecloth into a clean, dry bottle. Let it cool before sealing and storing in a cool, dark place.
Why You’ll Love It
Homemade infused olive oil isn’t just delicious—it’s functional. Use it to dress salads, enhance grilled meats, drizzle on pizza, or elevate a bowl of soup. It’s also a beautiful DIY gift when bottled in a glass jar with a sprig of rosemary inside.
And because you’re in control of the ingredients, you get full flavor with none of the preservatives or fillers found in many store-bought varieties.
