Notes

  • Store in the refrigerator in a glass jar for up to one week. Shake well before using.
  • If olive oil solidifies in the fridge, set the jar at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.
  • Add a teaspoon of honey for a subtle sweetness or Dijon mustard for a creamy twist.
  • Great as a marinade, salad dressing, or dipping sauce for crusty bread.
  • Always use fresh lemon juice and garlic for the most authentic flavor in your Amogio sauce recipe.
