Garlic Infused Oil
Dried garlic infused in our own cold-pressed sesame oil, prepared in our facility in Amman. Nothing else added.
Why an infusion, not a pressed oil
Garlic has no fixed oil to press — it's mostly water, carbohydrate and sulfur compounds. So every product sold as garlic oil is one of two things: an infusion, or a steam-distilled concentrate used in drops.
Ours is an infusion, and we call it one. Dried garlic is steeped in cold-pressed sesame oil so the fat-soluble compounds and the aroma pass into the oil, then it's filtered and bottled.
Dried garlic, and why it matters
Fresh garlic submerged in oil is the classic food-safety problem — the low acidity and absence of oxygen create conditions that require refrigeration and a short shelf life. Homemade garlic oils and many small-batch products are made this way.
Dried garlic removes the water, and with it the problem. That's why this oil is stable at room temperature, and it's a deliberate production choice rather than a convenience.
The base matters
Because an infused oil is mostly carrier, the carrier is most of what you're buying. Ours is our own cold-pressed sesame — unrefined, naturally stable, and the same oil we sell on its own. Most commercial garlic oils are made in whatever refined oil costs least.
In the kitchen
- Brushed over flatbread or manaqish before baking
- Over hummus, labneh and mutabbal
- Into salad dressings and marinades
- Stirred through pasta or rice
- Over roasted vegetables and potatoes
- Brushed onto meat or chicken before grilling
On hair and scalp
Garlic oil has a long traditional use in the region as a scalp oil. Massage in, leave for thirty minutes or so, then wash out with shampoo. Many people prefer it blended with a lighter oil to soften the smell.

Garlic has a history as rich and flavorful as its aroma :)
dating back over 5,000 years. Originating in Central Asia, garlic quickly spread across ancient civilizations, becoming a staple in both cuisine and medicine. The Egyptians prized garlic so highly that it was often used as currency and placed in the tombs of pharaohs, including King Tutankhamun. Workers who built the pyramids were fed garlic daily for strength and stamina.
In ancient Greece, Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine," prescribed garlic for a range of ailments, from respiratory issues to digestive disorders. Romans carried garlic into battle, believing it gave soldiers courage and vitality. Meanwhile, in Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic medicine, garlic was revered as a remedy for everything from infections to high blood pressure.
Garlic's secret lies in allicin, a powerful compound released when it's crushed or chopped. This natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agent not only gives garlic its potent smell but also provides numerous health benefits.
Fun Fact: During World War I and II, garlic was used as a natural antiseptic to clean wounds and prevent infection when pharmaceutical antibiotics were in short supply!
