Garlic-infused olive oils can effortlessly elevate various dishes and charcuterie boards. Many brands embark on various olive oil infusions but the garlic variety is certainly a popular and timeless one. Colavita boasts a rich recipe for it with its Roasted Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The product is described as having "a mellow flavor, fragrance, and [the] subtle sweetness of roasted garlic."
Colavita's garlic-infused olive oil features cold-pressed olives, "grown and harvested exclusively from the finest olive groves." Afterward, the olives are blended with the roasted garlic. The brand maintains that its offering is excellent for a variety of culinary endeavors—from marinades, dressings, and bread dipping to grilling, roasting, and sautèring.
Colavita's delicious, garlic-infused recipe is also Low-FODMAP Certified by Monash University.
