Is It Safe To Store Garlic In Olive Oil?
It is not safe to store garlic in olive oil at room temperature, as the combination has been linked to the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause botulism. If stored in the refrigerator and used within a few days, it is generally safe, but there is still a small risk. To be safe, it is recommended to use a garlic-infused oil within a few hours of making it, or to store it in the refrigerator and use it within a few days.
