Observe the oil shimmering beautifully, its golden hue deepening slightly as it gradually reaches a delicate warmth, around 60-70°C (140-160°F).

Once fragrant and just beginning to ripple at the edges, carefully add a small pinch of fine sea salt, allowing it to dissolve and infuse the oil with its crystalline essence.

Follow with a delicate grind of fresh black pepper directly into the warm oil, releasing its vibrant, aromatic notes that will bloom beautifully in the gentle heat.

Stir the seasoned oil gently with a small spoon, ensuring the salt and pepper are perfectly dispersed, creating a harmonious and balanced infusion.
