Verbena Tandoori Infused Olive Oil
WAYS TO USE OLIVE OIL:
Sautéing, Baking, Grilling. Drizzle it over salad or mix it into salad dressing.
Use in marinades or sauces for meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables. Oil penetrates nicely into the first few layers of the food being marinated.
Add at the end of cooking for a burst of flavor. Drizzle over cooked pasta or vegetables.
Use instead of butter or margarine as a healthy dip for bread.
Replace butter with olive oil in mashed potatoes or on baked potatoes. For the ultimate mashed potatoes, whip together cooked potatoes, roasted garlic, and olive oil; season to taste.
Make a tasty, heart-healthy hummus dip by mixing cooked white beans or chickpeas, garlic, and olive oil in a food processor; season to taste with your favorite herbs.
Use olive oil in your sauces -- whisking will help emulsify, or blend, the watery ingredients with the oil in the sauce.

The cooking style originated in Northern India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Great for meats (especially lamb and chicken), rice dishes, for dipping naan or roti, on vegetable curry and in hearty soups. Like spicy with a little heat? Tandoori Flavored extra virgin olive oil hits the mark on both.

Olive oil should be stored in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, away from the heat and light. Choose a spot in the kitchen that's away from the oven. The best temperature for storing oil is 57 degrees, though room temperature, or 70 degrees, is also okay. Bottling in dark containers is also important to shield Olive Oil from harmful UV Rays and light. It should not be stored in the refrigerator. This way EVOO can keep up to 2 years instead of the usual 3-6 months when not properly stored.
