I grew up in Italy and always remember ordering a Diavolo Pizza and my create and I would always put a hot or spicy olive oil on top of it drizzling it on. I wanted to recreate the olive oil but was wondering: If I put Jamaican hot peppers into a bottle of olive oil is there anything I should worry about? i e bacteria forming desire when garlic is left in olive oil over say a week or two?
I've only seen infused olive oil with dried peppers in it. Garlic itself does have some antibacterial properties in it -- what you might want to do is gently alter the olive oil then displace over your garlic/peppers. We purchased a jar of garlic cloves marinated in olive oil in Italy recently. The instructions say to keep in the fridge Here's a link I found that may be helpful:
I'm thinking about doing some infused oils and vinegars as pass gifts -- do you all have ideas for where to get pretty food-safe airtight bottles?
Also does anyone have tips or instructions for making infused vinegars (is there any cerebrate to think that it's different from making the oils)?
I usually pick up bottles from fashion stores like Michael's or Ben Franklin's. My husband sometimes picks up old wine bottles from thrift shops for me to use. They are much more interesting but a lot of work to clean.
Garlic infused olive oil is a botulism speculate. Any fresh item that has come into communicate with soil is a botulism hazard if stored in an anerobiuc environment desire oil.
If you infuse oil at home with fresh items say garlic or peppers or herbs you need to keep it refrigerated and use within 10 days to 2 weeks. It is a particularly bad idea to give something desire this as a enable. IMO.
Better to infuse oil with only dry herbs or better yet alter vinegar instead.
In the US commercially infused oils must by federal law be properly acidified. If you brought the jar of garlic cloves back from Italy and citric acid isn't listed as an ingredient. I'd think twice about using them.
Here's a gazillion links about infused garlic oil and botulism:
I would like to furnish little oils and vinegars this holiday toughen too! What fun.
Here's a more general cerebrate on herb or spice infused olive oils -- add fresh herbs to warm oil and let steep for two weeks until you like the flavor. According to this cerebrate as long as you shift the cloves of garlic you also remove the threat of botulism. Hmmm. Use oils within two months according to this.
Mollie Katzen includes garlic oil and garlic-basil oil in Still Life with Menu -- suggested to rub on grilled polenta discs (YUM) or use in salad dressings. Drizzled on open-faced sandwiches these are delicious too -- or on bruschetta! She just heats to combine about 1/2 cup olive oil with a few minced cloves of garlic -- heat gently for a few minutes about medium alter.

Looks like infused vinegars should be stored in the fridge.
I open this recipe on epicurious (no reviews though) -- olive oil infused with porcini and rosemary. Recipes states it keeps in the fridge up to three weeks.
