Infused Olive Oils

Frequently Asked Questions

What infused olive oils do you carry?
We carry the full Ariston infused EVOO range — Basil, Garlic, Chili, Lemon, Rosemary, Truffle, Pesto, and Butter — all made with Greek extra virgin olive oil as the base. We also carry Urbani Natural White Truffle Oil (premium Italian truffle essence in EVOO) and the Gourmet Infused Olive Oil Trio gift set (Basil, Garlic, Rosemary in 250ml bottles).
Are Ariston infused olive oils made with real ingredients or artificial flavoring?
Ariston infused olive oils are made with natural ingredients infused into Greek extra virgin olive oil — not artificial flavoring compounds. The base is always EVOO, and the infusions use real herbs, garlic, chili, lemon, and truffle. This produces a more authentic, rounded flavor than artificially flavored oils and preserves the health benefits of the EVOO base.
What is the best infused olive oil for bread dipping?
Ariston Garlic or Ariston Basil are the most popular for bread dipping — both deliver immediate, recognizable Mediterranean flavor. For a more complex dipping experience, combine Ariston Garlic with the Eliovi Greek Herb Blend and a pinch of Urbani White Truffle Salt. Ariston Truffle is excellent for a more luxurious, restaurant-style dipping oil.
Can I cook with infused olive oils or are they just for finishing?
Ariston infused oils can be used for both light cooking and finishing, but they are best appreciated as finishing oils — drizzled over pasta, pizza, grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or bread just before serving. High heat can diminish the delicate herb and truffle aromas. For cooking, use a plain EVOO and add the infused oil at the end for maximum flavor impact.
What is Urbani Truffle Oil and how is it different from Ariston Truffle?
Urbani is Italy's most prestigious truffle house, and their Natural White Truffle Oil uses 100% natural white truffle essence in premium EVOO — no synthetic aroma compounds. Ariston Truffle Infused Olive Oil is a Greek EVOO-based truffle oil at a more accessible price point. Both are excellent finishing oils; Urbani is the premium choice for special occasions and gifting, while Ariston is ideal for everyday truffle flavor in cooking and dipping.
