Q:  Hello Dave,

I have put some habaneros in bottles of olive oil for myself and a couple of friends, to add a nice hot flavor to the oil for cooking.  I bought a bottle from Ass Kicking Olive Oil brand a while ago and it tasted good.  Do I have a problem with bacteria, and must I ask for the bottles back and destroy them?

Greetings from Holland,

Elvin

 

A:  Hello Elvin:

You have made heaven for the bacteria.  I would imagine that Ass Kicking Olive Oil has some sort of preservative in it that prevents bacterial growth.  Yes, ask for the bottles back and destroy them.
