Rebecca I just subscribed. I appreciate the fact that you included the article, and you are clear and succinct in your presentation.

The article was informative and brief. The following is another valuable lesson that was included in the article:

“If buying infused oils at a store or gift shop, always check the label to be sure that it has been acidified to be safe or other microbial inhibitors have been used.”

I made two huge bottles of infused garlic olive oil yesterday.... and then today I learned about the short shelf life, refrigeration, and botulism!😳🤦‍♀️ I dumped it all😢I'll just add it in fresh like I was doing before....

Hi, not related but I get very cozy feelings from your home! 🥰

Yes, I would do the Citric Acid bath first as well Then heat it on low for a while to be safe.

Do you store in the fridge? And how long does it last?

This makes a lot of sense, acidic helps preserve, it's why we use vinegar. So, is there any mention of checking and getting the pH down below 5.2 in any of your research? Cheers!

Almost I infuse garlic in olive oil without any acidification since three years..nothing bad happened.

Can I freeze in ice cube trays and use as needed ?

[nancyouellette]

This is when you do not heat the oil with garlic or herbs, does your study say it is the same when you heat the oil ?

[jackiecranmer]

I too researched this after wanting to make Garlic and Rosemary! Surely if both herbs are acidified then it will be fine to mix? Also lots of places say to infuse the garlic and rosemary by heating gently? does the acidifying process affect the taste?

[jackcoleman]

Have you tried hearing a garlic and olive oil mixture at 250 degrees F for at least minutes to kill botulism spores. Then remove cloves and use within a few days.

[jackcoleman]

Herbs should be dried and then are safe.

MY MOM IS DOING IT AND I WARNED HER SHE IS KEEPING IT OUTSIDE OF FRIDGE AT THE AND SHE DID NOT EVEN COOK IT??

Riiight, so you could ve brought it to 250F and make it safe from botulism. Didn't you read that in the many articles you ve gone over?!
