Serving Suggestions & Cooking Instructions

Preparation: This oil is designed to deliver “lively warmth” as a finishing touch. While it can handle very gentle warming, its “authentic Italian chilli character” and fruity olive notes are best preserved when used raw.

Method: Start with a light drizzle; as noted, “a little goes a long way.” Apply directly to the plated dish just before serving to allow the heat of the food to carry the spicy aroma to the senses.

The Pizza Essential: Keep this on the table whenever pizza is served. A spiral of chilli oil over a Margherita or a spicy Diavola adds a luxurious, fiery sheen that elevates the crust and cheese.

Pasta Perfection: It is the soul of a classic Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino. Simply toss your spaghetti with garlic and parsley, then finish with a generous drizzle of this oil for a clean, sophisticated heat.

Bold Marinades: Mix with a splash of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena to create a spicy marinade for grilled chicken or flank steak. The oil helps the chilli flavour penetrate the meat for a deeper, more consistent warmth.

Soups & Legumes: Add a few drops to a hearty Pasta e Fagioli or a lentil soup. The oil floats on the surface, ensuring that the first hint of spice hits the palate with every spoonful, cutting through the richness of the pulses.
