Kosterina Spicy Red Pepper Olive Oil is a cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil infused with red pepper for a balanced, Mediterranean heat perfect for finishing dishes and boosting everyday recipes.

This infused oil blends early-harvest Koroneiki extra virgin olive oil—high in polyphenols—with natural red pepper oil to deliver a clean, peppery spice without additives or flavorings. Packaged in a 16.9 oz tin to protect flavor from light, it was created to add bright heat and olive fruitiness to pizza, pasta, salads, grilled vegetables, and more. The result is a versatile pantry staple that keeps the integrity of premium EVOO while introducing an approachable, lingering warmth.

How does this spicy olive oil change everyday cooking?

Use it as a finishing drizzle or a flavor boost during cooking to add immediate, layered heat with olive oil complexity. The spice profile is meant to complement ingredients rather than overpower them, so a little goes a long way on simple dishes.

• Finish pizzas and pasta with a glossy, spicy sheen.
• Drizzle over roasted vegetables or avocado toast for brightness.
• Stir into vinaigrettes or quick marinades to add depth.

What makes Kosterina’s infusion different from other chili oils?

Rather than a neutral carrier oil spiked with chile flakes, this product starts with high-polyphenol EVOO from early-harvest Koroneiki olives, which contributes peppery, fruity notes and antioxidant-rich character. The red pepper oil is blended directly for consistent heat and an authentic Mediterranean flavor profile.

• Early-harvest Koroneiki EVOO delivers natural peppery undertones.
• Measured polyphenols (high content) for robust, clean flavor.
• No added preservatives, extracts, or neutral oil blends.

How should I store and use the 16.9 oz tin to preserve flavor?

The tin protects the oil from light, preserving the fresh aroma and preventing degradation. Keep it in a cool, dark pantry and seal the spout between uses; under proper storage, the oil retains its character for several months after opening.

• Store away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Tin packaging minimizes oxidation compared with clear bottles.
• Use within a few months after opening for best flavor.

How much heat can I expect and what dishes pair best?

The spice level is lively but balanced—noticeable warmth without intense burn—making it suitable for a wide range of applications from breakfast to dinner. It pairs especially well with Mediterranean staples, cheeses, egg dishes, and grilled proteins where olive oil flavor is desirable.

• Great on pizza, pasta, and tomato-based sauces.
• Pairs with cheeses, charcuterie, and grain bowls to elevate taste.
• Excellent as a finishing oil for eggs, sandwiches, and salads.

Who is this for? Home cooks, food enthusiasts, and entertainers who want a premium, additive-free spicy olive oil that highlights the character of high-quality EVOO while adding dependable heat. It’s also a practical choice for anyone who prefers an olive-oil-first infusion over neutral oil chili sauces and for gift-givers seeking a stylish, flavorful pantry item with Mediterranean provenance.
