What is rosemary oil?
Rosemary oil is a condiment made from olive oil and rosemary. This rosemary oil from Il Bottaccio is made with extra virgin olive oil and fresh rosemary, and is primarily used cold or just before serving.
Where does the rosemary flavor come from?
Il Bottaccio first creates a rosemary concentrate using the Contemporaneo method. This involves pressing fresh rosemary and olives together in the mill. The concentrate is then mixed with extra virgin olive oil.
What do you use olive oil with rosemary for?
Olive oil with rosemary is delicious with potatoes, focaccia, white and red meat, chicken, lamb, grilled vegetables, beans, mushrooms, and oven dishes. A small amount is often enough.
Can I cook with it?
It is best to use this oil cold or add it just before serving. Extra virgin olive oil can withstand normal warm use, but with this rosemary oil, you want to preserve its aromatic fragrance.
Why is this oil useful for oven dishes?
For potatoes, vegetables, or meat from the oven, you often want that specific rosemary fragrance. With this oil, you can quickly add it at the end, without loose rosemary sprigs or hard needles.
How do I store this rosemary oil?
Store the bottle tightly closed, in a cool, dark place. Not next to the stove and not in direct sunlight. It is best to use herb oil relatively quickly to maintain its aroma.
