Aromatic, earthy, and deeply satisfying—this infused oil brings the bakery experience to your kitchen table.
Imagine tearing into a warm, crusty piece of freshly baked bread and dipping it into golden olive oil rich with garlic, herbs, and a touch of heat. Each bite delivers layers of flavor—floral rosemary, peppery oregano, sharp garlic, and a whisper of chili warmth.
This herb-infused oil is more than a dip. It’s a simple luxury. Perfect for appetizers, dinner parties, or whenever bread is on the table (which should be always).
