Could hot oil be the next hot honey? Use this oil the same way as a finishing ingredient for grilled proteins or roasted veggies. It has just enough kick to be addictive.
Product Notes
Spice up your kitchen with a drizzle of Armato’s Peperoncino Chili Oil — crafted from their renowned Ligurian extra virgin olive oil and best-selling Calabrian chili flakes. The result is a beautifully balanced infused oil with the perfect amount of heat and the fruity, delicate character of Taggiasca olives.
The Producers
The Armato family has been involved in the olive trade and production of olive oil for multiple generations. In 1982, we were first introduced to Aldo Armato — modest in nature but fiercely proud of his family’s long tradition of producing olive oil from ancient Taggiasca groves planted in the hills above Alassio on the Ligurian coast.
Aldo and Laura’s legacy has been passed to their daughter Alessandra and her husband Giordano Mazzariol, who have brought new energy and intelligence to the estate — extending the use of their locally renowned olive oil into a series of devastatingly delicious products.
