A Purposeful Expression of Heat

Dell'Orto Piccantolio is built on our Classic extra virgin olive oil and infused with real Italian chili peppers. No artificial extracts, no shortcuts. The result is a finishing oil that delivers warmth, structure, and balance — heat as an accent rather than a distraction.

Warm. Savory. Controlled.

Crafted with Intention

  • Infused with real Italian chili peppers — no artificial extracts or flavorings
  • Extra virgin olive oil as the base — never a refined or blended oil
  • Harvest year labeled — you know exactly when it was made
  • Bottled in dark glass to protect flavor and integrity
  • Produced in Campania, Italy by our family for over 150 years

Tasting Notes

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.

Reach for Piccantolio when a dish calls for dimension rather than intensity.

Olive Varietals

Piccantolio is produced by infusing real chili peppers into our extra virgin olive oil. This 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 at any stage. What you taste is exactly what the peppers and the oil produce together.

How to Use It

This is an olive oil designed for deliberate finishing and confident cooking.

Drizzle over pizza, pasta, and flatbreads. Finish on grilled meats and roasted vegetables. Add to seafood for gentle heat and depth. Use sparingly to bring warmth to everyday dishes.

A little goes a long way. Start with less than you think you need.

Our Story

Italian cooking has always used heat with restraint. A pinch of peperoncino to lift a dish, not overwhelm it. That philosophy shapes everything about Piccantolio — from the chili peppers selected to the amount infused into the oil.

Dell'Orto has been producing olive oil in Oliveto Citra, Campania since 1870. Piccantolio is an expression of that same tradition applied to a different purpose — warmth in service of flavor, never the other way around.
