Flavor infusion

Flavor infusion is a process where flavors from ingredients like herbs, spices, or fruits are transferred into another substance, such as oil, alcohol, or food, to create a richer taste. This is typically achieved by allowing the ingredients to sit together over time, letting their essential oils and compounds blend naturally. For example, infusing olive oil with garlic or herbs enhances the oil’s flavor, making it more aromatic and tasty. The process can also involve gentle heating to speed up flavor transfer, resulting in a more complex and aromatic finished product.
