WIN-It-Wednesday: Marconi Infused Olive Oils
Since we had such a tremendous response to the Finishing Salt WIN-It-Wednesday last w
eek, BeFreeForMe staffers decided to keep up the theme on flavorful cooking for this week too!
The sponsor of this week’s WIN-It-Wednesday is Marconi Infused Oils. These oils are one of my all time favorites to cook with and they have been for many years. Why? They are a perfect f”lavor-picker-upper”.
As mentioned in past blogs, food can be crazy fun because of these infused oils! I use them on everything, from grilled chicken, fish and white rice. (Some great recipes using Marconi Infused Oils can be found on BeFreeForMe and include: Rosemary Infused Roasted Chicken, Shrimp and Pepper Rosemary Skewers and Sauteed Broccoli and Feta with Jalapeno Olives).
But my preferred and most ingenious use of these infused olive oils is as an all-time stand-by salad dressing on the run…I actually keep one of the small sample pack sizes in my purse! (Note: A sample pack of 3 only cost $4.50 through the Marconi website!)
The Marconi Infused Oils come in six (6) varieties:
• Marconi GARLIC Infused Oil
• Marconi BASIL Infused Oil
• Marconi OREGANO Infused Oil
• Marconi ROSEMARY Infused Oil
• Marconi JALAPENO Infused Oil
• Marconi DIPPING Oil
Being an all-time fan makes it a pleasure for me to pick 7 (yes… SEVEN!) lucky BeFreeForMe members to receive a FREE coupon for any one Marconi Oil item of their choice at their local grocer (up to a $40 value!).
How can you WIN?
Easy!
Just reply to this blog and let me know which Marconi infused oil you would most like to try. Also, feel free to share and let the rest of us know how you like to use olive oil in your recipes / cooking too! (Me? I like to use the Basil Infused Oil drizzled over garden fresh tomatoes, basil leaves & goat milk mozzarella).
All entries must be received by Tuesday, April 20th at 12:00 Midnight EST.
Good Luck, Infuse flavor into your life daily… and as always…

I would love to try the basil infused oil. It sounds amazing. I bet it would be great on salads and roast veggies.
April 13th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
The Marconi Rosemary Infused Olive oil would be great to try. I wonder what it would taste like on a caprese sandwich? (Actually I can’t even remember what a caprese sandwich tastes like, too long with no bocconcini cheese – or any cheese – in my diet!)
April 13th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
The Garlic one is the one I would choose! I love cooking with olive oil and garlic 🙂
Thanks for the nice giveaway!

Wow! I haven’t ever heard about Marconi’s oils. These all sound awesome! I think I’d want to try the Garlic infused one – we love garlic and olive oil at my house! My husband and I love using olive oil- the flavor is so much better for salad dressings, pasta & even making marvelous vegetable creations!
April 13th, 2010 at 6:45 pm
basil or garlic
April 13th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
My family loves chicken and I usually make it at least twice a week (or more)! These oils would compliment many ways I prepare it. Even just diced or cut into strips and sauteed in anyone of these oils would add enough flavor to just toss it onto greens. Yum, I can taste it already!!!
April 13th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
I love rosemary, so I would love to try the rosemary oil in my homemade gluten-free pizza dough.
April 13th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
I would love to try the garlic infused olive oil over my gluten and meat free bruschetta pizza!
April 14th, 2010 at 5:40 am
Marconi JALAPENO Infused Oil sounds good, I would like to try this flavor for when I make stirfry to add a little spice.
April 14th, 2010 at 6:50 am
I would most like to try the Marconi dipping oil. I like to use olive oil to cook yellow squash, zucchini and tomatoes for a side dish.
April 14th, 2010 at 7:30 am
I would love the Basil infused oil to drizzle over oven browned potatoes.
April 14th, 2010 at 7:42 am
I think it would be really great on potato salad or even sprinkled on a baked potato or by dipping your crusty bread in it instead of using regular olive oil.
April 14th, 2010 at 8:10 am
I would use the garlic oil as a marinate for beef that I was planning on grilling.It would tenderize the meat and ad flavour.
April 14th, 2010 at 8:18 am
Rosemary infused oil, drizzle over chicken to be baked. Adds an awesome flavor to baked chicken
April 14th, 2010 at 8:28 am
When I cook pretty much any type of meat, I place in frying pan, drizzle with soya sauce, sprinkle with a little of each – salt, pepper, garlic salt, seasoning salt, and in this case would definitely use the garlic oil…right now I just use a regular oil…you wouldn’t believe the flavour and not only that, the texture from this marinate as it cooks makes for such a tender and delicious cut of meat, whether it’s steak, chicken breast, pork chop, etc.. 😀
April 14th, 2010 at 8:32 am
I would most like to try the garlic-infused oil. My favorite way to use olive oil is to roast cauliflower in the oven–yummy.
April 14th, 2010 at 8:45 am
We love dipping oil, so I would say: Marconi DIPPING Oil
April 14th, 2010 at 8:50 am
love olive oil never tried the basil bet all would taste good in about anything i would cook
April 14th, 2010 at 9:23 am
Have never tried, however am anxiousa to try the rosemary oil
April 14th, 2010 at 9:30 am
I would love to try the Jalapeno infused olive oil. Our family loves spicy food and I am sure it would give everything a kick!
April 14th, 2010 at 9:32 am
I have Jalapeno olive oil, but is too spicy to use on everything. We eat salads with every meal, I would like to try garlic, basil, rosemary or oregano flavor with the olive oil. Adding goat, sheep feta or fresh
parsley, dill, basel makes it even better.
April 14th, 2010 at 9:49 am
Garlic – love garlic
April 14th, 2010 at 9:50 am
Garlic Oil – I LOVE GARLIC!
April 14th, 2010 at 9:58 am
Garlic! Garlic! Garlic! My family just can’t get enough! Thank you for the opportunity to try something new. =)
April 14th, 2010 at 10:17 am
I would like to try the rosemary oil.
April 14th, 2010 at 10:18 am
I would love to try the Marconi Garlic infused olive oil! Coming from an Italian family, olive oil is definitely a staple here. I like to drizzle it over fresh pork chops before pan searing them and adding spices. They come out moist and delicious. Add a little balsamic vinegar and you have one tasty meal!
April 14th, 2010 at 10:22 am
Garlic, for sure! I am a big garlic lover! 🙂
April 14th, 2010 at 10:32 am
I am an olive oil JUNKIE! All of the varieties sound delicious. I think I would bake some gluten free bread and use the dipping oil with a little parmesan cheese. I haven’t had that in AGES. Yum!
April 14th, 2010 at 10:53 am
It’s hard to pick just one! I can’t do it! My top three would be Marconi Garlic Infused Oil, Marconi Basit Infused Oil, and Marconi Jalapeno Infused Oil.
I love oil drizzled asparagus, oil rubbed roasted chickens, and of course dipping a GF baguettes in olive oil. Any of the infused oils sound great for any these things.
My mouth is watering!!!!
April 14th, 2010 at 11:01 am
I would like to try the basil infused oil. The idea of pouring it over fresh tomatoes, basil, and goat cheese sounds delicious!
April 14th, 2010 at 11:22 am
I would like to try the garlic oil and the dipping oil. They both sound yummy.
April 14th, 2010 at 11:38 am
I would like to try them all, sounds great. I think I would start with Marconi GARLIC Infused Oil. Then the Marconi ROSEMARY Infused Oil. Then down the line to the Marconi BASIL Infused Oil, Marconi OREGANO Infused Oil, Marconi DIPPING Oil.
Last I would try the Marconi JALAPENO Infused Oil. Can’t wait to try them all when available.
April 14th, 2010 at 11:59 am
Basil infused olive oil. Sounds de-lish!!!
April 14th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
I would love to try the Jalapeno infused olive oil and my intention would be to drizzle onto red roasted pepper slices. But, all of the varieties sound yummy to me. We have a 6 year old granddaughter who just loves dipping her crusty Italian bread in dipping oil so I know her vote would be for the dipping oil variety.
April 14th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
The Dipping oil or garlic yummy
April 14th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
I have developed a love of basil so definitely that’s the flavor I would look forward to most. I would drizzle the different flavors over fish, which I tend to overcooks (so it dries out). The basil would go on salad for sure.
April 14th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
I love Rosemary so that would be the oil I’d choose.
April 14th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
I would love to try the rosemary, I think it would taste great on fried potatoes.
April 14th, 2010 at 1:16 pm
I would use the jalapeno infused olive oil in a ground chicken burger topped with grilled red,and yellow peppers , mixed with red onion.Set on a toasted large english muffin.
April 14th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
I’d like to experiment with them all, but if I had to pick just one, I guess it’d be the Rosemary flavor. Thanks for such great giveaways!
April 14th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
Definitely the jalapeño oil – I like me some spice! 🙂
April 14th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
I Would love to try the rosemary oil and will use it on roasted sweet potatoes … can not get enough of that combination
April 14th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
We use olive oil in/on everything!! I would love to try them all, but I think the Oregano one in Italian recipes, and I guess I’d have to try them all eventually, since I love all those spices. Trying to grow my own basil and rosemary right now; wish me luck!!
April 14th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Basil Infused Olive Oil sounds awesome! I would love to try it! On sliced tomatoes with crushed garlic… or… Garlic Infused Olive Oil on sliced tomatoes with crushed basil…or… they all sound really great! My first choice is basil.
April 14th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
I would be so curious to try the Rosemary Olive Oil, I make a dish that was inspired to me one day – I would use Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme (as the main theme of flavors and use them on roasted potatoes, chicken and recently in a pizza crust I have been playing around with for variety. Rosemary Olive Oil would be new demention to this. I can only imagine what my Greek Chicken would taste like with some freshly baked bagettes drizzled with the same accents of the meal. Thank you for the chance to enter.
April 14th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
I love rosemary, so I would love to try the rosemary oil to rub on my roasted chicken with lemon and garlic. Or, I would love to try the dipping oil with my Italian Herb bread from Gluten-Free Creations Bakery in Phoenix, AZ. Thank you for offering all of us the opportunity to win your delicious olive oils.
April 14th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
These sound awesome! To dip our GFCF bread in, just like at fine restaurants!
April 14th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
I would love to try thm all, but I love garlic soo that would really be my first choice.
April 14th, 2010 at 11:56 pm
Jalapeno oil definitely! The spicier the better 🙂
April 15th, 2010 at 12:25 am
Basil of course!!!
April 15th, 2010 at 8:14 am
Would love to try the garlic or rosemary oils, and would dip gluten-free breadsticks into them, or add them to bruschetta.
April 15th, 2010 at 9:14 am
I would love to try the dipping oil with a great loaf of fresh baked bread from our local Italian deli. It’s better for you than butter!!
April 15th, 2010 at 9:42 am
I have tried all the flavors and Jalapeno is my favorite!
April 15th, 2010 at 9:50 am
I would like to try the jalapeno infused oil
April 15th, 2010 at 10:11 am
I would love to try them all. I was just dignosed with Celiac two weeks ago, and I am just trying to find things that I can actually eat and enjoy. I have basically been eating salads with no dressing, just salt and pepper. I am just afraid to eat anything other than that until I learn what I can have and can’t.
April 15th, 2010 at 11:09 am
I love lemon, rosemary and jalapeno, these are my favorite to cook with I use them on chicken ,ribs , and fish.
April 15th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
I would marinate chevre in the dipping oil and serve it with crackers. Rosemary oil is great for frying brown rice and mushrooms. Olive oil is practically the only oil I use. Even in my cakes! I have a Misto sprayer so I can use the best olive oil for greasing pans. Hm- jalapeno oil in a chocolate cake would give it a nice little kick…
April 15th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
I would like to try the jalepeno oil. I enjoy spicy foods and often add red pepper flakes to my meals for a little spice. I cook with oil in all of my meals. Whether its meat, veggies, or pasta, olive oil is the base ingredient I use.
April 15th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
I would love to try Marconi Garlic oil. Since I found out I have Celiac disease I feel like I make the same meals over and over so this garlic oil would add a great new taste to me meals! =) Thanks for this opportunity!!
April 15th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
I would love to try the dipping oil.
Nothing is better than good bread and a fine, fine oil!
April 15th, 2010 at 8:36 pm
Garlic oil-it could be used with many different recipes.
April 15th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
They all sound wonderful. I think the rosemary sounds like it would be good for poultry, but who knows try it on everything.
April 16th, 2010 at 7:51 am
Would love to try the Marconi Garlic Oil.. Never heard of it before. Use Olive Oil a lot in pasta dishes.. Have a pumpkin recipe for muffins that I use Olive Oil in stead of regular oil. Out standing flavor..Thanks for the opportunity to try some thing new… Love it…
April 16th, 2010 at 10:30 am
They all sound amazing! Asparagus should be in season here soon- a little garlic olive oil and some fresh squeezed lemon juice over the top, bake for a few minutes- Yum! Gluten free/Dairy free cooking has never been easier with fun products like these oils. Thank goodness!
April 16th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
Fresh tomatoes and basil is yummy, so the Marconi BASIL Infused Oil should be great on salads with tomatoes. Thank you for offering.
April 18th, 2010 at 2:03 am
I would love to have the garlic infused oil it would make my baked chicken sing!
April 19th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
Hi,
My name is Margo and I would like to try the Marconi Oregano infused oil. I like to cook and try new ideas.
April 20th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
I’M INTERESTED IN THE DIPPING OIL. I WOULD USE THE VARIOUS INFUSE OILS EITHER TO MAKE HUMMUS/BABA GHANOUSH OR MAYO.
April 20th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Hello!
My name is Becca and I would love to try the Marconi Basil or Oregano–either one
sounds fantastic. I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance in February. I am
learning to cook all over again. It would be wonderful to have a new infused
oil to incorporate into the new recipes I am trying.
The Marconi line of oils would enhance the flavors of meat, poultry, and vegetables,
as well as savory breads.
Thank You!
April 28th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
The Rosemary would be my choice
March 20th, 2011 at 4:03 pm
Garlic olive oil is all I use
