  1. Yes Luana. You can do pomace oil. It is disgusting but if you like no problem. You can also do with oil Johnson. It's all a matter of taste.

  2. Well, this is a recipe of oil with dried chilli…
    Of course you should do so, to avoid the risk of botulism, but I'll prepare it directly immersing, Once chopped fresh, in a little oil, and using the microwave so that it is perfectly dried in the oil itself.
    The oil is heated (…mainly due to water entering the hot peppers in boiling) but NEVER to more than 100 ° c.
    For even less heat the oil, I advise you to proceed to microwave pulses (is. 30″ application, 30″ rest).
    I guarantee that after a short time (…depending on the amount) the chili will be so dehydrated that it can be (…if you want) CRUMBLE!
    After that I proceed to the addition of fresh oil to taste.
    The almost total lack of water, It makes the preparation to ZERO risk of botulinum.
    Best regards!

  3. The spicy oil preparation as exposed is nearly perfect, I do not want presumptuous, but there should not be a pinch of salt for an excellent preservation?

  4. Ciao!! E’ You can use olive pomace oil? I know not’ but I was wondering the same thing and’ just a matter of taste or can’ be harmful because once prepared would be used more raw….

    1. How to Luana, the residue oil is what remains after the extraction of oil and it is still possible to extract residual oil. In fact, the residue, depending on the type of crusher, still contains the 3% to the 6% oil. This oil is extracted industrially, precisely in “sansifici”, by means of chemical solvents. This oil told “pomace oil crude” It is not edible: through a refining treatment is obtained “olive-pomace olive adjusted”, that still is not edible. Only after the addition of a percentage of unspecified virgin olive oil it becomes edible and named “olive pomace oil”. This product, in addition to having completely different composition and properties, is an oil of lower quality and less expensive,to put it in an elegant way;
      to tell it like it is,pomace oil is the most disgusting thing that one can imagine to find in pizza or to use as a sauce on our plates. In spite of everything…not illegal, you can find it among the ingredients of many “snacks” produced by large industries. My opinion…..use extra virgin olive oil.
