Spicy garlic oil with chili is a true gem of Italian cuisine, featuring a rich aroma and spicy heat. This sauce is inspired by traditional Mediterranean cooking methods where garlic and chili peppers play a key role in creating bold flavors. Finely chopped garlic mixed with red pepper flakes infuses the oil with fiery character and depth. Extra virgin olive oil gives it a velvety texture, softening the sharpness of the spices and adding a rich, slightly fruity note. Perfect for dressing pasta, spreading on toast or adding to meat dishes to reveal their flavors in a new light. This oil is a true secret ingredient that can transform any dish into a culinary masterpiece.
