Ariston Herb Infused Olive Oil — 250 ml

Ariston infuses Greek extra virgin olive oil with real herbs rather than flavouring it after the fact, so the oil carries the herb rather than tasting of it. Pour a little into a dish with bread and you can tell immediately which one you have.

250 ml bottles — the size you actually finish before it turns.

How to use them

• Finishing oil — over pasta, soup, grilled vegetables, burrata
• Bread dipping — straight into a shallow dish, nothing else needed
• Marinades and roasting — the herb does the seasoning for you
• Gifting — pairs naturally with a balsamic for a two-bottle set

Choose your infusion

• Garlic — cold-pressed bulb, buttery and round; the everyday one
• Basil — sweet and green, made for tomatoes and mozzarella
• Rosemary — piney and resinous; roast potatoes, lamb, focaccia
• Thyme — quieter and earthier, good with chicken and mushrooms
• Oregano — the Greek backbone; salads, feta, grilled fish
• Tuscan Herb — a blend rather than a single note; a good all-rounder
• Mediterranean — herbaceous and layered, built for dipping
• Pesto — basil, garlic and pine-nut character in pourable form
