Garlic sauce
Garlic Oil is an essential oil derived from garlic, a species in the onion genus, Allium. It is commonly used in cooking and in traditional medicine due to its numerous health benefits.
History
Garlic oil has been used for centuries in various cultures for its medicinal properties. The use of garlic and its oil can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where it was used to enhance physical strength and prevent diseases.
Production
Garlic oil is produced by steam distillation or by soaking garlic cloves in a carrier oil. The process involves crushing or chopping the garlic cloves, which releases allicin, a compound responsible for garlic's distinctive smell and health benefits. The crushed garlic is then soaked in a carrier oil or subjected to steam distillation to extract the oil.
