LEVO is designed for activating and infusing
a range of botanical ingredients, so you can
enjoy their flavor, nutrition, and wellness
benefits in your everyday life.
High-end restaurants, global food companies,
and independent chefs alike use infusion
techniques to enhance food and experiment
with flavors.
Skincare, beauty, and other wellness brands
also use infusion to incorporate healing herbs
into your routine. Unfortunately, most of these
infused products are mass produced and can
be over processed.
LEVO simplifies the process of home infusion,
so it’s easy to incorporate fresh or dried herbs,
fruits, seeds, and more into virtually any recipe
you'd like (sans preservatives, solvents, or
additives).
First, some rules
of the road from
your friends at
LEVO HQ...
Use the LEVO Time &
Temperature Calculator
on our app or website for
recommended
infusion settings.
Infuse with LEVO
03
When in doubt, infuse at lower temperatures.
This will ensure all the wholesome goodness
(flavors, aromas, nutrition) of your ingredients
remain intact.
The moister the herb, the shorter the shelf life
of your infusion. Consider using the DRY or
ACTIVATE cycle before infusing to keep your
infusion fresher, for longer (and always store
finished infusions in a cool, dark place).
When it comes to fats in your oil or butter, the
more refined, the higher the smoke point and
more neutral the taste. The less refined, the
smoke point is lower and the taste is more
flavorful. Plus, there is more added “good stuff”
(like healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamins).
Refinement is the process of separating
different elements of a substance and
distilling or processing it, so it no longer
contains all of its original ingredients.
Example: White flour is refined, whole
wheat flour is unrefined.
Low & Slow
We recommend coarsely ground herbs, as
opposed to finely ground, to prevent unwanted
particles in your infusions and final creations.
Coarse Grind
Moisture is Not Your Friend
Less Refined is Better
Rules for the Road

Kinda
like this
Take care to use this setting only
with botanicals and never with oil
or butter in your reservoir.
We recommend drying your
herbs at 115°F/46°C for 3 hours.
Dry with LEVO
Cooking with fresh herbs like basil, rosemary,
or lavender? Consider using the DRY CYCLE to
keep your infusion fresher, longer.
Drying your herbs before infusing them
preserves flavor and removes moisture,
increasing the shelf life of your final infusion.
Cycle:
Dry, Activate, Infuse
05
We recommend activating at
240°F/116°C for 30 minutes.
This process transforms the construction of the
molecule. Knowing this, you can control the potency of
your infusions or create different effects using the
ACTIVATE cycle.
Check online for more information on botanical
activation.
Science rules!
Activate with LEVO
With certain botanical ingredients,
properties of the plant can be activated
with exposure to higher heat before
infusing. This changes the molecular structure
and elevates natural potency.
Take care to use this setting with botanicals
only (and never with oil or butter in your
reservoir), or you'll compromise your special
ingredients.
