Best Answer
As a general principle, any ingredients which do not require refrigeration on their own will not require refrigeration when mixed. A notable exception is raw garlic in olive oil; raw garlic carries botulinum spores, which propagate in anaerobic environments. Cold helps to prevent the spores from multiplying and producing toxin, but doesn't prevent it entirely. In addition, you will find texture effects; olive oil is fairly unique among unprocessed (as in, unhydrogenated) vegetable fats in that it solidifies at refrigeration temperatures.
