What You Need to Know
Combining olive oil and herbs at a ratio of 3:1, with a temperature range of 60°F to 70°F, to create a stable emulsion. The process involves the formation of a complex network of lipids and volatile compounds that enables the emulsion to stabilize. The ideal temperature range is between 60°F and 70°F, with an optimal temperature of 65°F.
