Important Storage & Safety Tips
Homemade garlic oil is delicious, but it’s important to store it safely.Garlic stored in oil at room temperature can create the perfect environment for Clostridium botulinum bacteria, which causes botulism — a rare but serious foodborne illness. It is best to use it within 7 days or freeze the oil into ice cube trays and use as needed. I have seen some recommend that the oil is safe to use if you take the garlic cloves out of the oil.
