Materials
- glass container
Preparation
- Rosemary twigs are washed under a light stream of water, then shaken off the excess water and left to dry on a flat surface for ~ 10 minutes.
We put the rosemary sprigs in the container. You can put only rosemary leaves (needles) or, even more efficiently, finely chopped rosemary leaves. I preferred to use the whole rosemary sprig, since it (rosemary) is fresh and to get a more pleasant design.
Pour the olive oil into the container, over the rosemary, until it is filled so that the rosemary is covered with oil.
Seal the container and leave to macerate for 3-4 weeks in a cool and airy place, away from light (closet, cellar).
During maceration, the nutrients in the rosemary plant will be transferred to the oil and you will notice how the oil will get a more intense color.- After maceration, we can use the oil, directly from the container or we can filter it and transfer it in small, dark bottles. If you have opted for finely chopped rosemary, it is clear, you will need to filter the oil with a sieve or gauze (after filtering, discard the rosemary residue).
In the case of whole sprigs of rosemary, they can remain in the container without any problem.
It is important that the rosemary oil obtained is kept in dark bottles, away from light, cool and airy.
Also preferred are small containers, possibly with a drip to avoid contact with air as much as possible. In prolonged contact with air, oxidation occurs and the oil will easily lose its properties.
