What is Chili Olive Oil?
Chili Olive Oil is olive oil infused with chili flakes or pieces, used as a finishing oil rather than a dish in its own right. It brings the oil’s fruity, sometimes grassy character together with a warm or sharp heat, depending on the chilies used. Chili-infused oils appear in kitchens around the Mediterranean and beyond, though recipes and spice levels vary.
Drizzle it over salads, roasted vegetables, grilled fish, soup or pizza, or serve it with bread for dipping. Its flavour is concentrated, so start with a little and add more to taste. Nutritionally, it is almost entirely fat, with 91 g per 100 g, making a small drizzle a practical way to add aroma without making the dish overly oily.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chili Olive Oil
What is chili olive oil?
Chili olive oil is olive oil infused or blended with chili peppers for a spicy, aromatic finish. It is commonly drizzled over prepared food rather than used as a stand-alone sauce.
What do you use chili olive oil for?
Chili olive oil works well as a finishing drizzle on pizza, pasta, soup, roasted vegetables, eggs, and salads. Add it just before serving when you want the chili aroma to stay vivid.
How do you make chili olive oil at home?
To make chili olive oil at home, steep dried chili flakes or dried chilies in olive oil using a clean, completely dry jar. Dried peppers are preferable to fresh ones because water in fresh ingredients can create food-safety risks during storage.
Is chili olive oil very spicy?
Chili olive oil can be mildly warm or quite hot, depending on the chili variety and how much is used. Taste a small amount first, especially if the oil contains visible chili pieces.
Can you cook with chili olive oil?
Yes, you can cook with chili olive oil, but the chili pieces may scorch at high heat and turn bitter. For a fresher flavor, stir it into a dish near the end of cooking or drizzle it on after serving.
How should you store chili olive oil?
Store chili olive oil sealed in a cool, dark place, and keep water or wet utensils out of the bottle. If homemade with fresh chilies, refrigerate it rather than leaving it at room temperature and use it promptly.
Does chili olive oil go bad?
Yes, chili olive oil can go rancid or become unsafe if moisture or contaminated ingredients get into it. Discard it if it smells stale or paint-like, tastes noticeably off, or shows mold.
Can you use chili olive oil for frying?
Chili olive oil is usually better for low-heat cooking or finishing than deep-frying, since chili particles can burn and spoil the flavor. Use plain cooking oil for frying, then add chili olive oil to the finished food.
Is chili olive oil the same as chili oil?
Not necessarily. Chili olive oil specifically uses olive oil as its base, while chili oil can be made with other oils and may include additional spices, aromatics, or crunchy ingredients.
Is chili olive oil good for you?
Chili olive oil retains olive oil’s predominantly unsaturated fat profile, but it is still a concentrated source of energy. Chili adds flavor, not a reason to treat the oil as calorie-free or use it without limit.
