Infused oil is a type of oil that has been enhanced with the flavors and properties of various herbs, spices, or other ingredients. Common oils used for infusion include olive oil, coconut oil, and grapeseed oil. The infusion process typically involves heating the oil gently with the chosen ingredients, allowing the flavors to meld over time. This versatile oil can be used in cooking, salad dressings, or as a finishing touch for dishes. Infused oils can also serve as a base for homemade salves or skin care products, providing both culinary and therapeutic benefits.
