How our infused olive oils are made
Every oil in our Infusions range starts on the Disisa Estate in northern Sicily, where the Di Lorenzo family grow the olives, fruit, herbs, garlic and chilli themselves. They use two traditional methods:
- Pressed together: for our Lemon, Lime and Orange & Mandarin oils, the fruit and olives are handpicked and cold-pressed together within hours of picking, so the citrus flavour is part of the oil from the start.
- Slowly infused: for our herb, garlic and chilli oils, freshly picked ingredients are dried in the Sicilian sunshine and left to infuse in our Sicilian extra virgin olive oil for several days, with regular stirring and tasting, before being removed and the oil bottled.
Every bottle is made exclusively for The Gift of Oil.
Infused vs flavoured olive oil: what's the difference?
Many flavoured olive oils are made by adding artificial flavourings to a cheaper base oil. Ours are different: they're made only with Sicilian extra virgin olive oil and the real ingredient on the label, so a garlic oil tastes of fresh garlic and a lemon oil of real Sicilian lemons. That's why a small splash goes such a long way.
How to use infused olive oil
Infused oils are best added at the end of cooking, so the flavour stays fresh. Drizzle them over finished dishes, use them as a dip for warm bread, or toss them through salads, pasta and roasted vegetables. For an instant dressing, mix three parts infused olive oil to one part balsamic vinegar. See our combo dressings for the pairings we love most, or browse our recipes for more ideas.

Infused olive oil FAQs
What is infused olive oil?
Infused olive oil is extra virgin olive oil that has taken on the flavour of a natural ingredient, such as garlic, chilli, basil or lemon, either by pressing the ingredient with the olives or by steeping it in the oil. Our Infusions use only real ingredients and no artificial flavourings.
Can you cook with infused olive oil?
Yes, but you'll get the most flavour by adding it towards the end of cooking or drizzling it over the finished dish. High heat can dull the delicate flavours of the infusion.
How should I store infused olive oil?
Keep it somewhere cool and dark with the cap tightly closed. There's no need to refrigerate it. Like all olive oil, it's best enjoyed within a few months of opening.
Are your infused olive oils vegan and gluten free?
Yes. They're made only from extra virgin olive oil and natural ingredients, so they're suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and gluten free.
What sizes do your infused olive oils come in?
Most of our Infusions come in 100ml, 250ml and 500ml bottles, from £8.85. Truffle comes in 100ml and 250ml. The 100ml size is perfect for trying a new flavour or building a gift set.
