Mount Zero chilli pressed extra virgin olive oil is no standard olive oil. While the this is an Australian grown and crafted product, the method is strictly Italian. It is made in the traditional Agrumato method. Normally an infused olive oil is heated, to extract the flavour of the chilli, or lemon or rosemary etc. Instead whole fresh chillies are cold pressed together with the Australian olives, preserving the vibrant colour and flavour.

This strikingly amber-orange oil has fresh and floral capsicum notes with a gentle heat that gradually unfolds on the palate. We are enjoying this as a subtle, yet flavoursome finish to seafood pasta, wood fired pizzas and focaccia. Be sure to use this as a finish, rather than to cook with. Avoiding heat will ensure you enjoy the flavour as it was intended, fresh and vibrant.
