Hi
I made the oil using dried shop bought packet of chillies.
My question is, to give my chilli oil a longer shelf life can I squeeze the oil from a vitamin E health tablet from a health food shop to my batch…I want to sell it at a farmers market (I have the relevant hygiene certs)
thank you
Bo

I've grown chillies this year, do you think this would work with fresh ones?
