*Do not use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs cannot be stored in oil, not even in the refrigerator due to the possibility of botulism food poisoning.
Using Herbed Oil
Flavored, or infused, oils add their unique flavor to other foods. Because oil absorbs flavors easily, it carries whatever additional flavor is added to it. Stir herbed oils into freshly cooked pasta or potatoes, sprinkle over salads or drizzle over cooked vegetables. Or pour a small amount on a butter plate, and dip crusty breads into it. Shake a plain or flavored vinegar and herbed oil together for a quick salad dressing.
