Ideal for finishing dishes where controlled heat and depth are desired.

A Purposeful Expression of Heat

Dell’Orto Piccantolio is crafted for cooks who appreciate spice as an accent rather than a distraction. Built on our Classic extra virgin olive oil and infused with real Italian chili peppers, it delivers warmth, structure, and balance in equal measure.

How It Is Made

Piccantolio is produced by infusing real chili peppers into our extra virgin olive oil. This method allows the heat to develop naturally, resulting in a controlled spice that integrates seamlessly with the oil rather than overwhelming it. No artificial extracts or flavorings are used.

Flavor Profile

On the palate, Piccantolio opens with the familiar richness of extra virgin olive oil, followed by a gradual warmth that builds and lingers. The heat is present but measured, enhancing flavor and texture without masking the dish itself.

Warm. Savory. Controlled.
