For a richer flavor, use extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. To prevent the garlic from burning, start with a lower heat and monitor closely. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more oil to thin it out. Bagna Càuda is best served immediately while warm.
