How to Make Parmesan Oil

  1. In a small saucepan, gently heat 2 cups (473ml) of extra virgin olive oil over low heat.
  2. Add 1 cup (100g) of finely grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and forms small clumps.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely. This allows the flavors to meld.
  4. Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth and place it over a clean bowl. Carefully pour the oil mixture through the sieve, pressing gently on the cheese solids to extract as much oil as possible.
  5. In a sterilized 2-cup (473ml) bottle, add the strained Parmesan oil and 3/4 oz (20g) of freshly shaved Parmesan cheese for extra visual appeal and texture.
  6. Seal the bottle tightly and label it with the date. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
