Bruise the Rosemary: Gently bruise the rosemary sprigs by rolling them between your palms or pressing them with the back of a spoon. This helps release the aromatic oils and flavors.
Infuse the Olive Oil: Place the bruised rosemary sprigs in a clean, dry glass bottle or jar. Fill the container with extra virgin olive oil, making sure the rosemary is fully submerged.
Seal and Store: Seal the bottle or jar tightly with an airtight lid. Place it in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard, away from direct sunlight. Let the oil infuse for at least one week to allow the flavors to develop fully.
Strain and Transfer: After one week, strain the infused oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the rosemary sprigs and any sediment. Transfer the strained oil to a clean bottle or jar for storage.
