Fused or Infused this is the question

Olive Oil

fused oil olive is created when the olives are pressed or crushed simultaneously with fruits and/or whole fresh herbs. ... Infused or flavored oil is produced when herbs and spices are added after the olive oil has been pressed.

 Balsamic Vinegar

Flavored balsamic vinegars are created by infusing or blending unaged balsamic vinegar with fruit, herbs, spices, chocolate, and other ingredients to give them a rich and unique taste profile. Infused balsamic varieties are made with dark or white balsamic vinegar, the vinegars are then aged to intensify and round out their flavor. Aging is typically 12 years or more.
