Drizzle over some incredible extra virgin olive oil and you have the perfect precursor to pretty much any meal. I mean…if you want to make it a meal in and of itself, you won’t find me judging. You’ll probably find me saying, “Could you please pass me the bread?”
This bread dipping oil is the best concoction of herbs, garlic, and of course, rich, flavorful olive oil. It makes a lot, but it stores well in the fridge for about a week. If you want to extend the shelf life further, leave out the fresh garlic and just add that when you’re ready to use it. That’s what I typically do.
Want to take this oil mixture to the next level? Try adding: – a splash of really good balsamic vinegar – freshly grated Parmesan cheese

With the right mix of bread dipping seasoning and the best olive oil you can find, you can make restaurant-style food in your home kitchen. It serves as the perfect appetizer for those get-togethers with family and friends. And with the right adjustments, I found a way to make it enjoyable throughout the year.
There are so many olive oils on supermarket shelves these days, it’s hard to know which one is the best olive oil for dipping bread. A general rule of thumb is to purchase a cold-pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil from one supplier or country. These are the fruitiest and most flavorful. Avoid olive oil blends or refined versions.
My favorites include Bertolli (affiliate link), California Olive Ranch (affiliate link), and Carapelli (affiliate link). If you happen to have a local Italian market or gourmet market, they will usually let you taste the olive oils and help you find what you’re looking for – all you have to do is ask!

PRO TIP: Note that olive oil is perishable. For best results, store your good-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a cool, dark place and use within 1-2 months upon opening. If unopened, it will last in your cabinet for up to two years.
You can use both depending on the season and what you have on hand. Personally, I prefer the fresh herb recipe, but this offers you a nice variation and the best of both worlds.
PRO TIP: Making this Italian herb-infused olive oil on the go? Keep a jar of homemade Italian seasoning in your pantry to make it quick and easy.

Fresh Herbs – Great for making this seasoned olive oil during the spring and summer months, especially if you are growing your own herbs. Note that the measurements for fresh herbs are just about the same (
) as compared to the dried spices. This is because fresh herbs pack so much more flavor, so if we use too much, they can become overpowering.
PRO TIP: I prefer chopping all my fresh herbs by hand, as this is the more delicate approach, but feel free to use your food processor.

Basil is such a soft herb, it bruises easily. Either gently slice into ribbons (known as chiffonade) or simply tear with your hands.
Garlic is a big flavor provider and enhancer. When mixed with the spices (or fresh herbs) it infuses the oil with additional Mediterranean flavors.
However, it is also such a delicate ingredient. Use this list as a guide depending on how strong you want the garlic flavor when whipping up your own garlic bread cheese dip.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil And Italian Herb Bread Dip
My favorite is freshly squeezed lemon juice. But you can make olive oil and balsamic vinegar bread dip with balsamic vinegar as well. If you decide to go with balsamic vinegar, simply use a tablespoon of balsamic in place of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
A traditional olive oil dipping dish is made with grated Parmesan cheese. But I recommend changing it up from time to time to keep things interesting. Grated Pecorino Romano, cubed feta, or those small mozzarella balls known as bocconcini can be chopped up and mixed in for fresh, cheesy flavor.
All you have to do is to mix all the ingredients together in a shallow bowl and allow to sit for at least an hour for the flavors to meld together nicely. Then dip your favorite bread in oil and enjoy it!
Garlic Herb Olive Oil Bread Dip
Yes! The simple olive oil bread dip can be made 1-2 days in advance. But it all depends on whether you use dried or fresh herbs.
Dried Version: Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, except the garlic*, lemon juice and cheese. On the day you are going to serve, mix in the remaining ingredients and enjoy!
Fresh Version: Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, except the fresh basil, garlic*, lemon juice and cheese. The basil tends to turn black if left in the oil for too long. On the day you are going to serve, mix in the remaining ingredients and enjoy!

*Note that if you are using garlic powder as the garlic component, you can add this into the mix when preparing the olive oil sauce ahead. When ready to serve, simply add the remaining ingredients!
This easy bread dip is perfect to serve to family and friends, especially during the holiday season. To adjust the recipe for children, omit the red pepper flakes and use less of the overpowering dried herbs like rosemary and thyme. Since fresh herbs are milder than dried, it is best to leave the fresh herb dipping oil recipe as is. Both kids and adults enjoy the fresh flavor!
Some of my favorite breads to dip into the Italian bread dipping oil are Olive Bread, No-Knead Bread, French Bread, or Crusty Ciabatta Rolls.

A little tip – if you let the bread sit in the oil for a good minute or two, it absorbs even more of it’s delicious flavor!
