Featured Product: Fiery Chili-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Fiery Chili-Infused Extra Virgin Olive OilCelebrating the piquant flavors native to Italian coastal cuisine, this oil is made using only the most cared-for olives and Italian red hot chili peppers. This signature product has a rich velvety flavor to balance the intense spice. Add some "heat" to tomato sauces, fish and marinade recipes. Drizzle over pizza and pasta for some kick. Use to saute chicken and any variety of Asian fusion recipes.

Lucini Italia is proud to be the first to combine high quality extra virgin olive oil with the pure extracts of the plant in the fields. Lucini Italia does not use synthetic flavors or low quality oils.
