Herbed Olive Oil

This vibrant herbed olive oil is a versatile vegan staple that brings a burst of freshness to any meal. Combining the peppery notes of flat-leaf parsley with cool mint and citrusy lemon zest, it offers a beautifully balanced flavour profile that elevates simple ingredients. The extra-virgin olive oil acts as a rich base, carrying the aromatic herbs and making it an essential condiment for those who enjoy bright, Mediterranean-inspired flavours at home.

Use this fragrant oil as a finishing touch for grilled vegetables, roasted new potatoes or as a fresh alternative to traditional salad dressings. It is particularly effective when drizzled over a platter of sliced tomatoes or served alongside warm crusty bread for dipping. Prepared in minutes, this homemade infusion is a simple way to add a professional, gourmet flourish to your weekday cooking.
