Sciabica's Jalapeño Olive Oil — 100% California Extra Virgin

Fresh jalapeños crushed with California olives: a clean, green heat carried in extra virgin oil.

Sciabica's presses whole fresh jalapeños together with just-harvested olives, so the pepper's grassy, bright heat is in the oil itself rather than steeped in afterward. It has a real kick without being punishing, and the olive oil's fruitiness rounds it off. Underneath it is 100% California extra virgin olive oil, cold-pressed, rich in monounsaturated oleic acid and polyphenols. Capsaicin, the compound behind the heat, has been used traditionally to support circulation and metabolism.

Who this is for

• Eggs, avocado toast and breakfast burritos
• Drizzled on pizza instead of chili flakes
• Marinades for chicken, shrimp and steak
• Popcorn, roasted corn and sweet potatoes
• Anyone who keeps hot sauce on the table and wants a cleaner option
