Spanish Style Garlic and Parsley Flavored Olive Oil is a popular condiment in Spain, especially in the Andalusian region. It's commonly used as a dip for bread or drizzled over grilled meats and vegetables. This condiment is easy to make and can add a burst of flavor to any dish. The combination of garlic and parsley with the olive oil creates a flavorful and aromatic oil that is perfect for dipping bread or pouring over hot dishes. The added bonus is that it's a healthy alternative to the pre-packaged dips and sauces that are often high in calories and additives.
