olive oil infusions

[Guest guest]

Hello All

 

Regarding the infused oils- Olive oil IS the best- dont change to sunflower-

it will go rancid more quickly.

I have had olive oil infusions last years- really..and I store them in amber

glass in a dark closet.

I just put up gallons of saint johns wort and calendula as well- great

stuff!

When making a massage blend for myself or another therapist, I add jojoba to

extend the shelf life of the opened container- but they usually dont last

long enough to go bad!

 

Also- when you buy your olive oil directly from the grower(like I could in

CA) or from your natural foods distributor(Or Chris or Butch)...It is

fresher in the first place.

Michelle:

 

Do you sell your blends? Especially the one you mention below. Or anyone

else for that matter.

Hi Michelle:

Thanks for the information -- olive oil definitely seems the way to go, and

boy, am I glad I used it! I was getting into a panic, especialy after some

folks I respect said sunflower was the way to go, and I thought I might

have gallons of short shelflife stuff on my hands. Whew, dodged that bullet.

 

On another list, someone posted this great information about rosemary

extract and/or vit. e to use as an antioxidant, and it gives %'s to use:

http://www.turbosales.com/essentialoil/Voildesc.html

 

Here is something offtopic about that site I posted, and folks here might

be interested in helping:

I want to make a note about the turbosales.com site. It has the most

comprehensive information and dilution %'s I've come across so far, so I'm

going to use that as my base info. Interestingly, when I clicked on the

'homepage' at the bottom of the page, I got sent to essentialoils.net, aka

camdengrey.com, folks here in town I've purchased from many times before!

 

Here is a problem with their site, and I'd like to know if anyone else has

it. When they recently had their site redesigned, my Netscape Navigator 6.1

wouldn't show any of the webpage on the right side of the page, like the

oils names, sizes, prices, etc. I have to go use my antique Intenet

Explorer 5.1 to view the site. They say their webmaster is trying to

correct the problem, but I think he just gives them a lot of baloney. It's

been months now. I think they're losing a lot of business. I surf the web

all the time, theirs is practically the only site I have this problem with.

Can anybody else tell me if they're having the same problem, and if they

are, email vivian. They're nice people, and deserve to have

a working site.

 

PS I will be ordering the Vit.E from them, heck, maybe some rosemary

extract, too. Somebody warned (or was it a website) to check what the

rosemary was processed with, as there could be a 'bad' solvent or

something. Does anyone know? Gracias.
