Olive Oil Garlic

Olive oil garlic is a flavoring made by infusing olive oil with garlic. It is created by steeping fresh garlic cloves in olive oil, allowing the oil to absorb the garlic's taste and aroma. This process can be done at room temperature or with gentle heating.

Manufacturers use olive oil garlic to add a savory, pungent garlic flavor to foods. It is commonly found in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, roasted vegetables, and as a finishing oil for dishes.

Olive oil garlic is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a flavoring ingredient. Both olive oil and garlic have been studied for their potential health benefits, including effects on heart health, though research is ongoing. JECFA has evaluated olive oil and garlic separately. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels of olive oil garlic.
