Frequently Asked Questions About Chili olive oil
What is chili olive oil?
Chili olive oil is olive oil infused with the heat and flavour of chili peppers. It may be sold with the peppers still in the bottle or strained, and some versions include extra seasonings. Its heat depends on the chili used and how it is infused.
How do you make chili olive oil at home?
Warm olive oil gently with dried chili flakes or fully dried whole chilies, then let it cool before bottling. Avoid adding fresh chilies to oil kept at room temperature: moisture in fresh ingredients can create a food-safety risk.
Does chili olive oil get hotter the longer it sits?
It can. Chili left in the oil continues to release flavour and heat, although the change varies with the pepper and the recipe. Taste it periodically and strain out the chili once the oil reaches the strength you want.
Can you cook with chili olive oil?
Yes, you can cook with chili olive oil, but prolonged high heat may dull its aroma or scorch chili pieces. For a brighter, more noticeable flavour, stir it into a dish near the end of cooking or drizzle it over the finished food.
Is chili olive oil the same as chili oil or chili crisp?
No. Chili olive oil specifically uses olive oil infused with chili, while chili oil can use other oils and recipes. Chili crisp is a crunchy condiment containing pieces such as fried chili, garlic, or shallots, rather than just flavoured oil.
How do you use chili olive oil on pasta or pizza?
Drizzle chili olive oil over cooked pasta or a finished pizza to add heat without changing the whole recipe. Start with a small amount, especially if the oil contains visible chili flakes, then add more to suit your taste.
How should you store chili olive oil after opening?
Store opened commercial chili olive oil according to its label, away from heat and direct sunlight. If you make it at home with fresh chili, keep it refrigerated rather than on the counter; use clean utensils to avoid introducing food particles.
How can you tell if chili olive oil has gone bad?
Discard chili olive oil if it smells rancid, sour, or otherwise unpleasant, or if you see unexpected mould. A stale, waxy, or paint-like smell can signal oxidized oil; do not taste oil that looks or smells spoiled.
Can you use chili olive oil in salad dressing?
Yes, chili olive oil works in salad dressing, especially with lemon juice or vinegar, where its heat can balance the acidity. Whisk it with the other ingredients just before serving, since oil and watery ingredients separate when left to stand.
Is chili olive oil good for dipping bread?
Yes, chili olive oil makes a simple bread dip, either on its own or mixed with plain olive oil to soften the heat. Pour it into a small serving dish rather than dipping bread into the bottle, which helps keep the remaining oil clean.

What is Chili olive oil?
Chili olive oil is olive oil flavoured with fresh or dried chilli, either by infusing the peppers in the oil or mixing them in before serving. It may be made at home or bought ready to use. The flavour brings olive oil’s fruity, peppery notes together with a heat that varies with the chilli and how much is used.
Across the English-speaking world, it is often drizzled over pizza, pasta, eggs, soups or roasted vegetables, or served with bread for dipping. It is entirely fat and, as an olive-oil-based condiment, is rich in monounsaturated fats. A little can add plenty of flavour, so use it as a finishing oil; blend it with plain olive oil if you want a milder result.
