Cilantro Infused Oil: The Complete Kitchen Guide to Making and Keeping It

What Is Cilantro Infused Oil?

Cilantro infused oil is exactly what it sounds like: a carrier oil, usually olive or a neutral vegetable oil, that has been steeped with fresh or dried cilantro to absorb the herb's bright, citrusy, slightly grassy character. The result is a deeply flavored cooking oil that carries the essence of the herb in every drop.

This is not the same as cilantro essential oil, which is a concentrated aromatic extract produced through steam distillation and intended for cosmetic or aromatic use only. Culinary infused oil is made for the kitchen table. It is a traditional technique used across Mexican, Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, and South American cuisines to capture herb flavor in a shelf-stable (or near shelf-stable) fat.

Home cooks love it for good reason. A small drizzle over tacos, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, or grilled fish delivers a concentrated herbal punch that fresh chopped cilantro simply cannot replicate in the same way. The oil acts as a solvent and carrier, pulling fat-soluble flavor compounds from the herb and suspending them in liquid form, ready to coat and flavor whatever they touch.

But making a good cilantro oil recipe requires more than just dropping leaves into a bottle. There is technique involved. There are safety considerations that are genuinely important. And there are choices to make: which oil, which method, how long to infuse, how to store it. This guide covers all of it.

Key Takeaways

• Fresh cilantro produces a brighter, greener oil than dried, but introduces more moisture and a shorter safe shelf life.
• The blanching method fixes color and reduces microbial load, making it the preferred approach for fresh herb oils.
• Botulism is a real risk with any fresh herb infused in oil. Proper handling is not optional.
• Refrigerate fresh-herb oils and use within 1 to 2 weeks. Freeze for longer storage.
• Dried cilantro oils are safer for room-temperature storage but produce a more muted flavor profile.
• Olive oil adds its own flavor and pairs well with cilantro's citrus notes. Neutral oils like grapeseed or avocado let the herb speak for itself.
• Cilantro infused oil is a finishing oil, not a frying oil. High heat destroys its delicate aromatic compounds.

Choosing Your Ingredients: Herb, Oil, and Equipment

Selecting the Right Cilantro

The quality of your finished cilantro infused oil begins at the market or garden. There is no shortcut here. Dull, yellowing, or slimy cilantro will produce an off-flavored oil with a brown-green color that looks less than appealing in the bottle.

Look for bunches with vivid green leaves, firm stems, and a clean, fresh scent when you crush a leaf between your fingers. That immediate citrusy, almost soapy brightness is the aromatic signature you are trying to capture. If you grow cilantro at home, harvest it before the plant bolts. Once cilantro flowers and sets seed, the leaves take on a more bitter, less pleasant flavor.

You can use the entire above-ground plant for infused oil: leaves, tender stems, and even the roots, which have a particularly concentrated, earthy cilantro flavor used extensively in Thai cooking. Most Western cilantro oil recipes focus on leaves and stems, which is perfectly appropriate for a delicate finishing oil.

Dried cilantro is also an option. It produces a more subdued, warmer flavor profile and is safer for room-temperature infusions because it contains no moisture to encourage bacterial growth. It is a reasonable starting point if you want a cilantro oil for everyday pantry use without the strict refrigeration requirements of a fresh herb oil.

Choosing Your Base Oil

The base oil you select will shape the final flavor as much as the herb itself. Here are the most practical options:

For most home cooks learning how to make cilantro oil for the first time, a mild extra virgin olive oil or grapeseed oil offers the best balance of flavor and accessibility. The choice between culinary and aromatic cilantro oils is worth understanding before you commit to a particular base, especially if you have seen both versions in stores.

Equipment You Will Need

No specialized equipment is required. Here is what you should gather before you start:

• A blender (for the cold or blender method) or a small saucepan (for the warm infusion method)
• A fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag
• A medium bowl for straining into
• Clean glass jars or bottles with tight-fitting lids (swing-top, screw-cap, or cork)
• A funnel for transferring oil without spills
• A kitchen thermometer if you are using the warm method
• Labels and a marker, because unlabeled jars are a kitchen hazard

Glass is strongly preferred over plastic for storage. Oil can leach compounds from plastic containers over time, and glass is easier to sterilize, which matters for food safety.

Three Methods for Making Cilantro Infused Oil

There is no single correct way to make a cilantro oil recipe. The method you choose depends on how quickly you need it, what flavor profile you are after, and how long you plan to store it. Each approach produces a noticeably different result.

Method 1: The Blanch-and-Blend Method (Recommended for Fresh Cilantro)

This is the technique used in most professional kitchens for vivid green herb oils. Blanching the cilantro briefly in boiling water, then shocking it in ice water, accomplishes two things. It sets the chlorophyll so the oil stays bright green for days rather than turning muddy. It also reduces the surface microbial load on the leaves, which matters for safety.

The oil produced by this method is a brilliant, almost neon green. The flavor is fresh and clean, with the citrusy brightness of cilantro at the front and a light herbal finish. This is the kind of oil you drizzle over a finished dish at the table.

Ingredients

• 2 packed cups fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems (about 2 large bunches)
• 1 cup neutral oil (grapeseed or light olive oil work well)
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt (optional, helps with color stabilization)

Instructions

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set it beside the stove.
2. Add the cilantro to the boiling water. Blanch for exactly 15 seconds. No longer.
3. Using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, immediately transfer the cilantro to the ice bath. Let it cool for 60 seconds.
4. Lift the cilantro from the ice bath and squeeze out as much water as possible. Use your hands, then wrap in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze again. The drier the herb, the safer and more shelf-stable your oil will be.
5. Add the well-dried cilantro and the oil to a blender. Blend on high for 60 to 90 seconds until very smooth and the oil has turned a vibrant green.
6. Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set it over a bowl. Pour the blended oil through and let it drain for at least 30 minutes. Do not press or squeeze; just let gravity do the work for a clearer oil. If you want a more rustic, textured oil, a light press is fine.
7. Transfer to a clean glass jar or bottle, label with the date, and refrigerate immediately.

Yield: approximately 3/4 cup finished oil. Shelf life: 1 to 2 weeks refrigerated.

Method 2: The Cold Blender Method (Quick and Rustic)

This is the fastest route to a homemade cilantro oil. You skip the blanching step entirely and blend raw cilantro directly with oil. The flavor is more intensely herbaceous and slightly raw-tasting, which some cooks prefer. The color is good immediately after blending but will begin to fade to olive-brown within a day or two.

Ingredients

• 2 packed cups fresh cilantro leaves and stems
• 1 cup oil of choice
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Wash the cilantro thoroughly and spin it as dry as possible in a salad spinner. Then pat dry with paper towels.
2. Add cilantro and oil to a blender. Blend on high for 60 seconds.
3. Strain through cheesecloth-lined strainer into a bowl.
4. Bottle, label, and refrigerate immediately.

Yield: approximately 3/4 cup. Shelf life: use within 5 to 7 days refrigerated. Because there is no blanching step, the safety window is shorter and the color fades faster.

Method 3: The Warm Steep Method (Using Dried Cilantro)

This method uses gentle heat to open up the flavor compounds in dried cilantro and coax them into the oil. It is slower than blending, produces a more golden or pale green oil rather than a vivid one, and is the safest method for room-temperature storage because dried herbs contain no moisture.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup dried cilantro (leaf, not ground)
• 1 cup oil of choice

Instructions

1. Combine the dried cilantro and oil in a small, heavy saucepan.
2. Over very low heat, warm the oil to between 150°F and 175°F (65°C to 80°C). Use a thermometer. You are not frying the herb; you are gently coaxing flavor into the oil. If the oil begins to bubble actively, it is too hot. Remove from heat immediately.
3. Hold the oil at this temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, checking occasionally.
4. Remove from heat and let the oil cool to room temperature with the herb still in it. You can leave it to steep for an additional 2 to 8 hours for a stronger result.
5. Strain through a cheesecloth-lined strainer. Squeeze gently if you want maximum yield.
6. Bottle in a clean, dry glass container and label with the date.

Yield: approximately 3/4 cup. Shelf life: up to 2 to 3 months at cool room temperature if stored in a dark place, or up to 6 months refrigerated.

For a version that combines cilantro infused oil with bright citrus, the cilantro lime oil dressing built on this base is particularly well suited to salads and slaws.

Food Safety: The One Topic You Cannot Skip

This section exists because herb-infused oils, when made or stored incorrectly, can harbor Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium responsible for botulism. This is not a theoretical risk invented to scare home cooks. It is a well-documented food safety issue, and regulatory agencies in the United States, Canada, the UK, and Australia have issued guidance on it specifically because of cases linked to improperly stored garlic and herb oils.

Understanding why the risk exists helps you avoid it confidently rather than worrying vaguely.

Why Fresh Herb Oils Require Extra Care

Clostridium botulinum thrives in low-oxygen, low-acid, moist environments. Oil creates exactly that kind of environment. When fresh herbs are submerged in oil, any bacteria present on the plant material are sealed away from oxygen in a fat medium. If the oil is left at room temperature, bacterial growth can occur. The toxin produced is odorless, colorless, and flavorless, so you cannot detect it by smell or taste.

The good news is that the risk is entirely manageable with straightforward precautions:

• Always refrigerate fresh herb oils. Cold temperatures slow bacterial growth significantly.
• Use fresh herb oils within 1 to 2 weeks. Even refrigerated, these are perishable products.
• Blanching reduces (but does not eliminate) surface bacteria, which is one reason the blanch-and-blend method is preferred.
• Never leave fresh herb oil at room temperature for more than 2 hours. This applies to serving dishes and open bottles alike.
• Use scrupulously clean equipment. Sterilize jars in boiling water or a dishwasher's high-heat cycle before use.
• Dried herb oils are the safe choice for pantry storage. If you want a bottle to keep on the counter, use dried cilantro and a properly dried, sterilized jar.

Acidification: An Extra Safety Layer

Some food safety guidelines suggest acidifying fresh herbs before infusing them in oil. This means briefly soaking or blanching them in a diluted citric acid or lemon juice solution. The acidic environment inhibits bacterial growth. While this is more commonly recommended for garlic (which carries a higher inherent risk than leafy herbs), it is worth knowing about if you plan to make large batches or share your oil with others.

A simple method: after blanching, toss the cilantro in a solution of 1 tablespoon lemon juice per cup of water for 30 seconds before squeezing dry and blending. This adds a subtle brightness that actually complements cilantro's natural citrus notes.

When to Discard Your Oil

Discard any cilantro infused oil that shows these signs:

• Any cloudiness that appears after initially clear settling (some initial cloudiness from straining is normal and settles out)
• Bubbling or foaming inside a sealed bottle
• Any off smell, including anything sour, rancid, or fermented
• Visible mold or sediment growth
• The oil has been refrigerated longer than 2 weeks (fresh herb version)

When in doubt, throw it out. A batch of cilantro oil costs very little to remake.

Storing Cilantro Oil and Understanding Shelf Life

Refrigerator Storage

The refrigerator is the appropriate home for any cilantro infused oil made with fresh herbs. Use a glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Position it toward the back of the refrigerator, where the temperature is most stable, rather than in the door where it fluctuates with opening and closing.

One thing to expect: olive oil will partially solidify in the refrigerator. This is completely normal and does not indicate spoilage. Simply pull the jar out 15 to 20 minutes before you need it and the oil will return to liquid. Grapeseed and sunflower oils stay liquid even when cold, which is a practical advantage if you plan to reach for the bottle frequently.

Freezer Storage: The Smartest Long-Term Option

Freezing is the single best way to extend the life of fresh cilantro oil significantly without sacrificing flavor. Frozen properly, cilantro infused oil can keep for up to 6 months.

The most practical approach is to freeze it in an ice cube tray. Once frozen solid, transfer the cubes to a labeled freezer bag. Each cube is a single ready-to-use portion. Drop one into a warm pan when sauteing onions, stir one into a soup, or let one thaw on a plate for use as a finishing drizzle.

This technique transforms a perishable product into a flexible pantry staple. The full technique for freezing cilantro in oil as flavor cubes is worth bookmarking if this becomes a regular practice in your kitchen.

Pantry Storage (Dried Herb Version Only)

Only oils infused with properly dried cilantro are suitable for room-temperature storage. Keep them in a cool, dark cupboard away from the stove and direct sunlight. Heat and light accelerate rancidity in any oil. A dark glass bottle (amber or cobalt) offers additional protection against light degradation.

Label every bottle with the date it was made. This is a simple habit that saves you from the guessing game of whether a particular jar is still good.

Shelf Life at a Glance

For a deeper look at the options for keeping cilantro's flavor captured in oil beyond the short window of fresh use, the guide to preserving cilantro in oil covers several complementary approaches worth exploring.

How to Use Cilantro Infused Oil in the Kitchen

Cilantro oil is primarily a finishing oil. That distinction matters. Unlike a stable frying oil, the delicate aromatic compounds that give cilantro its character are volatile. High heat will cook them off quickly, leaving you with a green-tinted oil that has lost most of its fresh flavor. Use it at the end of cooking, not the beginning.

As a Finishing Drizzle

This is the most straightforward use and probably the most satisfying. A thin drizzle over a bowl of soup, a plate of roasted carrots, or a freshly grilled piece of fish delivers an immediate hit of herb flavor that takes the dish somewhere more interesting. Use a light hand: cilantro oil is concentrated, and a tablespoon is often plenty for a single serving.

In Sauces and Dressings

Cilantro olive oil is a natural base for vinaigrettes and dipping sauces. Because it already carries so much herb flavor, you need less acid and fewer additional seasonings to build a complete sauce. Whisk it with lime juice, a little honey, and a pinch of cumin for a quick taco salad dressing. Or shake it with rice vinegar and a drop of sesame oil for a Southeast Asian-inspired application.

The cilantro olive oil sauce method takes this further, building a proper sauce with shallots, acid, and seasoning that works across a wide range of dishes.

Bread Dipping

A shallow bowl of cilantro infused oil with a pinch of flaky salt and a few red pepper flakes alongside warm, crusty bread is simple and crowd-pleasing. The herbal character of the oil makes it something more complex than plain olive oil for dipping, without any additional work at serving time.

Drizzled Over Eggs

Scrambled eggs, fried eggs, or a soft-boiled egg halved in a bowl with a drizzle of cilantro oil, a squeeze of lime, and some flaky salt is a breakfast that takes about 90 seconds to assemble after the oil is made. The warmth of the egg does just enough to bloom the oil's aroma without destroying it.

Mixed into Grains and Pulses

Stir a tablespoon of cilantro oil into a bowl of warm rice, farro, or quinoa right before serving. It coats the grains lightly and distributes the herb flavor evenly through the bowl. The same approach works beautifully with white beans, chickpeas, or lentils.

As a Pizza or Flatbread Finish

After a pizza or flatbread comes out of the oven, a light drizzle of cilantro infused oil (especially a cilantro olive oil) adds a fresh, herbal counterpoint to rich cheese and savory toppings. This works particularly well on flatbreads with Middle Eastern or Mexican-inspired flavor profiles.

In Marinades (With Caveats)

You can use cilantro oil as a component in a marinade, but keep in mind that the heat of cooking will significantly diminish the fresh cilantro notes. For this application, the dried herb version may actually be more appropriate. Reserve your vibrant fresh blanch-and-blend oil for finishing, where its brightness can be fully appreciated.

If you are primarily interested in how this oil fits into a broader cooking context, the full guide to using cilantro oil for cooking provides a helpful framework.

Troubleshooting: Color, Flavor, and Texture Problems

The Oil Turned Brown or Olive-Colored Quickly

This is the most common complaint with fresh herb oils made without blanching. Chlorophyll, the pigment that makes cilantro green, breaks down rapidly when exposed to heat, acid, or enzymes released from cut plant cells. Without blanching to inactivate those enzymes, color degradation begins almost immediately.

The fix: Use the blanch-and-blend method next time. The 15-second blanch inactivates the enzymes that cause color loss. If you have already made a cold-blended oil and want to slow color loss, keep it as cold as possible and use it within a few days.

The Flavor Is Too Mild

A mild or thin flavor usually means the ratio of herb to oil was too low, or the herb was not dry enough when blended (water dilutes the oil and the herb flavor does not transfer as efficiently).

The fix: Increase the herb ratio on your next batch. The recipes above use approximately 2 packed cups of herb per 1 cup of oil. You can push this to 2.5 or even 3 cups of herb for a more intense result. Also ensure your cilantro is thoroughly dried before blending.

The Oil Is Cloudy or Has Sediment

Some cloudiness from fine herb particles is normal and will settle over time. This is purely an aesthetic issue if the oil is otherwise fresh and has been properly stored.

The fix: For a cleaner, clearer oil, strain twice. After the first pass through cheesecloth, let the oil settle for an hour in the refrigerator, then pour the clearer top portion off carefully, leaving any sediment behind at the bottom of the jar.

The Oil Has a Bitter or Soapy Taste

Bitterness can come from a few sources. Over-blanching breaks down cell walls and releases more of the bitter compounds present in cilantro stems and older leaves. Using too much stem relative to leaf can also contribute. Genetics plays a role too: some people perceive cilantro as soapy due to a specific receptor sensitivity, and no amount of technique will change that perception for those individuals.

The fix: Use primarily leaves with just the tender upper stems. Keep the blanch time to 15 seconds maximum. If bitterness persists, a pinch of salt added to the blender can round the flavor noticeably.

The Oil Did Not Set Properly in the Freezer

Some oils, particularly grapeseed and sunflower, freeze fully solid, while others, like high-quality extra virgin olive oil, may only partially solidify depending on their fatty acid composition. This is not a problem for quality.

The fix: For ice cube trays, grapeseed or a light vegetable oil works best because it freezes into firm, easy-to-handle cubes. If you are using olive oil and find the cubes soft, store the tray at the very back of the freezer where temperatures are coldest.

Variations and Flavor Combinations Worth Exploring

Once you are comfortable with the basic cilantro oil recipe, the technique is a platform for experimentation. Adding secondary flavoring elements to the oil opens up a wide range of distinct flavor profiles suited to different cuisines and dishes.

Cilantro and Garlic Oil

Add one or two cloves of garlic to the blender along with the cilantro. This produces a more savory, pungent oil suited to pasta, roasted vegetables, and marinades. An important note on safety: garlic is the herb most strongly associated with botulism risk in oil. Any garlic-cilantro oil made with fresh garlic must be refrigerated immediately and used within 1 week without exception.

Cilantro and Lime Oil

Stir a teaspoon of finely grated lime zest (not juice, which would introduce water) into your finished cilantro oil. The zest adds aromatic citrus compounds that amplify cilantro's own citrusy character without adding moisture. This variation is particularly good over fish tacos, grilled corn, and avocado dishes. The full approach to building a cilantro lime oil dressing takes this base in an exciting direction.

Cilantro and Ginger Oil

Add a one-inch knob of fresh ginger (peeled and roughly chopped) to the blender with the cilantro. The result is a punchier, slightly spicy oil that works well in Southeast Asian contexts: over noodles, stirred into a coconut-based broth, or drizzled on dumplings.

Cilantro and Jalapeno Oil

Add half a seeded jalapeno to the blender for a green oil with gentle heat. Removing the seeds keeps the spice level moderate and approachable. This variation works brilliantly as a finishing oil for tacos, grain bowls, or black bean soup.

Cilantro and Mint Oil

Use a blend of one cup cilantro and one cup fresh mint. The mint adds a cooling, bright dimension that pairs beautifully with lamb, yogurt-based dishes, and spring vegetable preparations. This variation leans more Mediterranean than the straight cilantro oil.

Cilantro Root Oil

For a more intensely earthy, concentrated flavor more common in Thai cooking, wash cilantro roots thoroughly and use them as the primary herb (with some leaves added for color). The roots have a deeper, more resinous quality. This is a specialty variation that rewards cooks who want to explore the full range of the plant.

Using Your Oil in Complete Dishes

Beyond simple drizzling, cilantro infused oil becomes a component in constructed sauces and dressings. The bright green cilantro olive oil sauce is an elegant step up from the plain infused oil, incorporating texture, acid, and seasoning into a more complete condiment. It is worth making once you feel confident with your base oil technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use cilantro stems as well as leaves?

Yes. The stems of cilantro, especially the tender upper portions, carry significant flavor and are perfectly appropriate for infused oil. The thick lower stems nearest the root can be more fibrous and sometimes add a slightly bitter note, so you can trim those away if you prefer. Many cooks include the entire above-ground plant except the very base of the stems.

Is cilantro infused oil the same as cilantro essential oil?

No. These are completely different products intended for completely different purposes. Culinary cilantro infused oil is a food product made by steeping or blending fresh or dried herb with a carrier oil. Cilantro essential oil is a concentrated aromatic extract produced through steam distillation of the seeds or leaves, used for cosmetic and aromatic purposes only. Culinary infused oil is safe to eat in normal food quantities. Essential oil is not a food product.

Can I make cilantro oil without a blender?

Yes. The warm steep method described in this guide requires only a saucepan and a strainer. You can also make a rustic version by finely hand-chopping cilantro and combining it with oil in a jar, though the flavor extraction will be less thorough and the shelf life even shorter. A blender produces the most efficient extraction and the most visually striking oil, but it is not essential.

My cilantro oil solidified in the refrigerator. Is it ruined?

Not at all. Olive oil, in particular, solidifies at cold temperatures because of its higher saturated and monounsaturated fat content. Simply leave the jar on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes before you need it. It will return to a pourable liquid. If you want an oil that stays liquid even when cold, use grapeseed or sunflower oil as your base instead.

How much cilantro do I need per cup of oil?

For the blender methods, a ratio of 2 packed cups of fresh cilantro per 1 cup of oil produces a well-flavored result. You can increase this to 3 cups per cup of oil if you want something more concentrated. For the warm steep method with dried cilantro, use approximately 1/2 cup of dried herb per 1 cup of oil.

Can children eat cilantro infused oil?

Cilantro infused oil is a food product and is generally suitable for use in family cooking in the way you would use any herb-flavored oil. If you have specific concerns related to a child's individual dietary needs, consult a qualified healthcare provider or registered dietitian.

Can I infuse cilantro in coconut oil?

You can, though coconut oil is solid at room temperature, which changes the texture of the finished product significantly. It will not pour like a liquid oil unless it is warm. Some bakers and cooks use coconut oil infusions as a solid fat to incorporate into baked goods or warm dishes. For a drizzling or dipping oil, a liquid carrier is far more practical.

Is there an easy way to scale up the recipe for a large batch?

Scaling up is straightforward. Double or triple the quantities proportionally. The main practical limitation is your blender capacity. Work in batches if needed. For large-scale production, the warm steep method with dried cilantro is often more manageable than the blender method, though the flavor profile will differ. Remember that even when scaled up, fresh herb oil must be refrigerated and used within 1 to 2 weeks, making freezing in portions the most sensible approach for large batches.

Does the type of cilantro variety affect the oil?

Cilantro varieties do vary in flavor intensity and leaf shape. Slow-bolt varieties bred for warmer climates tend to have slightly broader leaves and a somewhat milder flavor. Standard common cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) is what most markets carry and what all the recipes in this guide are calibrated for. Vietnamese cilantro (Persicaria odorata) is a different plant entirely with a distinctly different flavor profile and is not a direct substitute.

How do I know when my dried cilantro oil has gone rancid?

Rancid oil has a distinctive unpleasant smell: sharp, stale, and often described as similar to old crayons or paint. You may also notice a change in color, with the oil becoming darker than when you first made it. If the oil smells off in any way, discard it. Rancidity affects flavor significantly and indicates the oil's quality has declined past the point of good cooking use.

Putting It All Together

Cilantro infused oil is one of those kitchen projects that rewards a small investment of time with a disproportionately large improvement to everyday cooking. A jar in the refrigerator, a tray of cubes in the freezer, or a pantry bottle made from dried herb: each version serves a slightly different purpose, and there is no reason you cannot keep all three on hand at once.

The blanch-and-blend method gives you the most vivid, restaurant-quality finishing oil. The dried herb warm steep gives you the most pantry-friendly, low-maintenance option. The freezer cube technique gives you cilantro oil on demand for months. Start with whichever matches your current needs and cooking style, then branch out.

Take food safety seriously: refrigerate fresh herb oils, use them promptly, and freeze anything you cannot use within the week. Label everything. Discard anything that smells off.

Once you have a reliable batch ready, the applications are limited only by what is already in your kitchen. A drizzle here, a swirl there. The herb that so often gets lost in storage or forgotten on a plate transformed into something that lasts, concentrates, and delivers full flavor with very little effort at the moment you actually need it.
