Le Ferre Chilli Pepper Extra Virgin Olive Oil Condiment — Medium Heat, 250ml

The bottle that earns its place next to the salt and pepper. Le Ferre's chilli pepper-infused extra virgin olive oil is the everyday finishing oil of the southern Italian table — a 2% natural chilli extract in a cold-pressed Puglian base that delivers confident, clean heat with none of the harshness of dried flakes or coarse powders.

The heat here is medium and honest. Warm enough to be felt, controlled enough to let everything else on the plate speak. It works equally well stirred through a finished dish and drizzled over food at the table — versatile in a way that a single-note hot sauce simply isn't.

How It's Made

The base oil is cold-pressed in Castellaneta, Taranto — Puglian olives harvested mechanically, pressed within 24 hours, processed below 27°C and stored under food-grade nitrogen until bottling. A precise 2% natural chilli pepper extract is infused directly into the oil at bottling, integrating heat and aroma into the oil itself rather than sitting separately. The result is a clean, even warmth from the first drizzle to the last.

No artificial additives, no GMO, no preservatives.

At the Table

• Pizza — drizzle just before serving, as they do in Puglia
• Pasta — toss through a simple aglio e olio or finish a tomato sauce
• Bean dishes and legume soups — chilli and pulses are a natural pairing
• Seafood — mussels, clams, grilled prawns, squid straight from the pan
• Eggs — a drizzle over fried or scrambled eggs transforms a quick meal
• Cured meats and antipasti — use as a dipping oil with bread and fine charcuterie
• Marinades — rub into chicken thighs or white fish before grilling

Try it alongside a glass of Bombino Bianco classic method from Puglia, or a sharp ginger beer if you're going alcohol-free.
