| - I sampled four different types of infused olive oils: lemon, orange, basil, and truffle. Oh boy. Although the lemon and orange ones were strong and distinct enough to distinguish their taste, the basil and truffle were my top two picks. They had a warmer taste to them. The basil tasted just like fresh made pesto. The truffle was my favorite, so that's what I settled on: a 250-mL glass bottle of it. I also tried the chilli oil and that one had a zing to it. My tongue was tingly all over. It wasn't unbearable, but it was strong, and the description of the oil said it would be good for asian style dishes, so someone gifted the chilli oil to me ;-) Since I was traveling, the staff person was able to seal the bottle with wax, so on the plane, the changes in pressure wouldn't make the bottle leak or pop, and she was nice enough to give me bubble wrap. My experience would have been over the moon fantastic, were it not for the slightly awkward lady who worked there. She creeped me out a little.
