Why choose a garlic and chilli pressed olive oil?
Garlic and chilli pressed olive oil is winning over more and more food lovers for its ability to instantly lift pizzas, grilled dishes, roasted vegetables or even a simple slice of bread. It differs from a classic flavoured oil in the way it is extracted: here, fresh garlic and chilli are co-milled with the olives during extraction, rather than added as a flavouring afterwards. This process guarantees clean, balanced flavours and an incomparable length on the palate. If you're looking for a natural product, with no artificial flavouring, this is the right choice.
Also discover the range of personalised bottles for the table, an elegant option for enthusiasts who want to take the experience further.
The essential criteria for choosing your garlic and chilli oil
Before comparing bottles, ask yourself these questions:
- Format: do you prefer a 200 ml bottle for tasting or a 5 L tin for the family?
- Origin: go for an oil extracted in Calabria or Sicily, lands of tradition.
- Extraction method: co-milling of the fruit or simply adding a flavouring?
- Heat level: mild, balanced or bold?
- Certifications: organic, PGI, PDO, or artisanal oil?
