Infused Oils & Vinegars +Bonus Recipes



I want to talk about infused oils and vinegars because i cook with them a lot and I was refraining from posting recipes that use them. Infused Olive Oils and vinegars are a great way to add flavor to dishes. In Central Pennsylvania, I know of 2 "Taprooms" for oil and vinegar- 1 in CampHill(Taste-a-Lotta) and 1 in Lancaster(Seasons Taproom)- both located beside but not within their respective farmers markets. Below I've highlighted their primary uses and featured an easy no-brainer recipe recommendation with each!

Dressings:With a wide variety of flavors, theres lots of possibilities for dressing. Try the combination of blood orange olive oil and chocolate balsamic at the tap room- delish!


Cocktails: You might be surprised to learn that flavored vinegars make great additives to drinks. Try blueberry balsamic and club soda for a light and refreshing summer sparkler. Garnish with mint! I have also cooked it with maple syrup for pancakes!

Cooking: Flavored oils and vinegars can be added to baking recipes, but they especially shine in the sautee pan! One of my favorites is scallops steamed in coconut balsamic with lemongrass! yum!
