Lemon Olive Oil Dressing

Lemon Olive Oil Dressing

Recently, I had someone reach out to me and ask if we sold Lemon Infused Olive Oil. We don’t and here’s why.

Pure 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil with a high poly-phenol count is a medium where bacteria CANNOT grow!

It even has anti-bacterial properties!

However, the minute you infuse, or add anything to the olive oil like, garlic, lemon or herbs, you have now given the mixture a medium where bacteria can grow.

So there is a short shelf life of about two weeks in the refrigerator for mixtures like this simple lemon dressing and lemon infused GGOO once they are opened.

That’s why we make our own in small quantities when we want it.

Here is a very simple recipe for a Lemon Olive Oil dressing with just 4 ingredients. I made the illustration above in honor of Bob Newhart who recently past away and who made me laugh when I was in high-school back in Toronto.

Sign up for ongoing shipments and never run out of GGOO!
