What is Mint olive oil?
Mint olive oil is olive oil infused with, or blended with, mint. Recipes vary, and it is best thought of as a flavored oil rather than a dish with one fixed regional origin. The mint adds a cool, herbal note to olive oil’s fruity taste. Use it as a finishing drizzle on salads, roasted vegetables, beans or mezze; it also pairs well with yogurt-based dips and flatbread. Nearly all its energy comes from fat, so a little can bring plenty of flavor. For a lighter meal, add a measured drizzle at the table instead of pouring it freely into the pan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mint olive oil
What is mint olive oil?
Mint olive oil is olive oil infused or blended with mint to give it a fresh, herbal flavor. It is used as a finishing oil, dressing ingredient, or dipping oil; it is different from concentrated peppermint essential oil.
How do you make mint olive oil at home?
Make mint olive oil by steeping mint in olive oil, then straining it, or by blending the ingredients and straining the mixture. If using fresh mint, wash it and dry it completely first, and refrigerate the finished oil.
What can you use mint olive oil for?
Use mint olive oil to dress salads, finish roasted vegetables, drizzle over grilled fish, or dip bread. Add it after cooking when you want the mint aroma to stand out, since prolonged heat can mute its fresh flavor.
Can you cook with mint olive oil?
Yes, you can cook with mint olive oil, but high heat and long cooking can dull the mint flavor. It works especially well as a finishing oil stirred into soup or drizzled over a dish just before serving.
Is mint olive oil made with fresh mint or dried mint?
Mint olive oil can be made with either fresh or dried mint. Fresh mint gives a brighter aroma but must be completely dry before it goes into the oil; dried mint is convenient and does not add moisture.
How should homemade mint olive oil be stored?
Store homemade mint olive oil made with fresh herbs in a sealed container in the refrigerator, not on the counter. Fresh herbs in oil can create a food-safety risk if stored improperly; use it promptly or freeze it. Keep dried-mint oil cool and dark.
Does mint olive oil solidify in the refrigerator?
Yes, mint olive oil may turn cloudy or partly solid in the refrigerator because olive oil naturally firms up when cold. Let it return to room temperature to become pourable again; do not leave fresh-herb oil out for a long time.
Why does mint olive oil taste bitter?
Mint olive oil can taste bitter because the olive oil itself is naturally bitter or because mint has steeped for too long. Try a small amount first; if the flavor is too strong, dilute it with plain olive oil.
What foods pair well with mint olive oil?
Mint olive oil pairs well with tomato salads, beans, roasted vegetables, and grilled fish. Its fresh flavor also complements lemon, garlic, and yogurt-based dishes; start with a light drizzle so the mint does not overwhelm the food.
Is mint olive oil the same as peppermint oil?
No, mint olive oil is edible olive oil flavored with mint, while peppermint oil is a concentrated essential oil. Essential oils are not interchangeable with infused cooking oils, so do not use peppermint essential oil as a seasoning.
