Instructions

1. Carefully wash the wild garlic leaves and pat dry. Now cut the leaves with a sharp knife into strips approx. 5 - 10 mm wide across the leaf. Always cut only small amounts and fill them with olive oil into an approx. 1 liter bottle.
2. By briefly touching the cut edges with the air, the oxidation is reduced to a minimum. Then fill in the rest of the olive oil to just below the level of the cap. The oil is left to mature for 18 - 24 days in a not too bright place at room temperature.
3. Then filter the oil through a fine sieve into one or more small, dark bottles, add about a teaspoon of the narrow leaf strips for decoration and store the bottles in the refrigerator * or in a cool place for a longer shelf life (up to 9 months) , dark basement room.
4. Without refrigeration *, this spice oil lasts approx. 1.5 to 2 months.
5. If the cooled wild garlic oil flocculates whitish, this has no effect on the quality of the oil. After warming to room temperature, these flakes disappear completely on their own.
