The Soul of Southern Italian Cooking

Walk into any trattoria in Puglia, and you'll find a bottle of olio al peperoncino on every table. It's not an afterthought—it's essential. Italians don't just add heat; they add character.

The Angelino family knows this tradition intimately.

They start with their premium extra virgin olive oil—hand-harvested olives, cold-pressed within 24 hours—then infuse it with authentic Italian chili peppers using time-honored methods. The result is heat with depth: spicy, yes, but also aromatic, complex, and balanced.

This isn't about making food painfully hot. It's about adding the warm, bold kick that makes pasta sing, pizza irresistible, and simple vegetables memorable.

It's the finishing touch that transforms good Italian cooking into great Italian cooking.

Now imported directly from Puglia, this is the same olio al peperoncino that sits on Italian tables—ready to bring authentic heat and flavor to yours.
