Chili Pepper Olive Oil - Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cold Press w/Greek Red Hot Chili Peppers

I bought this because I was looking for an alternative chili oil. I wanted one with no msg, non GMO and none of the BS ingredients that our food has in it this day and age. I hoped it would be spicy and have the same flavor. Luckily for me. It does. I love cooking with it.

Description says organic and it’s not. Description says it’s eligible for return or replacement and it’s not. AND it’s expired! Too bad I was looking forward to organic not expired chili pepper oil.

This olive oil is of the highest quality- tastes great! I love all the flavor options that this company provides

Liokareas Cold-Fused Chili Pepper Olive Oil is a delicious olive oil from Kalamata, Greece. The 8.45 oz glass bottle holds a delightfully fruity olive oil that finishes with a nice warm punch of Greek chili pepper. When I opened the bottle, the strong and inviting scent of olive oil was present, surprisingly the chili pepper was not as prominent as I had imagined it would. The oil is a lighter color than most chili oils I have in my kitchen. When it came to taste I was impressed. The olive oil is not overwhelmed by the chili pepper. I could distinguish and enjoy the rich and fruity flavor of the olive oil. The peppery notes start out slowly and then crescendos to an impressive bold finish. I will note that if you are looking for a dominant and persistent burn from the heat of chili, this is not the oil for you. This oil has an ideal balance of fruity and spicy. There are no pepper flakes present in the finished product. I did notice that when I heated the oil for cooking, the peppery notes were more prominent than when I used it in a dressing or when dipping bread. I used it in many different ways including finishing pasta, scrambling eggs, and making a vinaigrette. The manufacturer notes that this is a limited stock product. The bottle I received has a harvest date of October 2020 and a best by date of January 2022. It is a Non-GMO and Gluten-Free product. I enjoyed Liokareas Cold Fused Chili Pepper Olive Oil and feel it is a simple way to add a kick of spice and flavor to any homemade meal.

Made with cold fused Greek olive oil and chili peppers the oil has a genuine olive oil taste with a mild chili pepper taste in the background. The chili peppers give the oil a slight red tint but while they impart flavor they add no heat. The oil works well with a little salt and pepper to make a bread dipping sauce and it is also good in salad dressings, marinades, sautéing and sprinkling on roasting vegetables or popcorn. To estimate shelf-life at the time of this review in August 2021 the Best By date is 5 months in the future but dates will vary. The chili adds an interesting light flavor component to the oil. Very good.
