Flavored oils are culinary oils infused with various herbs, spices, or other flavorings to enhance their taste. Common base oils include olive oil, canola oil, and grapeseed oil. These oils can be used in cooking, salad dressings, or as finishing touches for dishes, adding depth and complexity to flavors. The infusion process typically involves steeping the chosen ingredients in the oil for a period of time, allowing the flavors to meld. Popular flavorings include garlic, rosemary, chili, and lemon. Flavored oils can be homemade or purchased from stores, offering a convenient way to elevate everyday meals.
