Don’t post if you haven’t tried it. omg. I have tried it and it’s very good. Keep it in the fridge and it should last a long time; but stop worrying about that and just use it. I put a few tablespoon over ravolis and it was great; especially with a mound of fresh parmesan cheese on top. Great flavor.
OOPS! I meant one to two WEEKS–not months!
As it has garlic in it, you should refrigerate this oil. It should be good for about two months. Hope that helps! 🙂
How long does this oil last? I have not tried this, but I am assuming that I will love it so I gave it 5 stars.
