Our Chilli balsamic condimento is a delightfully hot-and-sweet infusion — our rich, intense Reserve balsamic infused with a fiery Peperoncino chilli. Thick and deep with a warming kick, it's quite unlike anything on a UK supermarket shelf.

Drizzle it over swordfish, shark or hot smoked salmon, mushrooms, creamy blue cheeses, or even ice cream — it's fantastic over prawns, scallops, pizza, bruschetta or a good juicy fillet steak. It's also spectacular mixed with any of our olive oils as a dip with fresh bread or a dressing. Being made from grape must, it's suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and gluten free.

It's especially good paired with our Lemon, Lime, Truffle or Garlic oils. Because it's built on our Reserve balsamic, the heat sits on a base with real depth and sweetness rather than sharp acidity.

It's made from Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes grown on the family estate of Nicolo Verrini, near Modena in northern Italy. The grapes are crushed and slowly cooked down over a long period into a remarkably thick, dense must, blended with a little wine vinegar and matured in ancient oak barrels — before the natural aroma of chilli is infused to create this hot-and-sweet taste sensation. Bottled exclusively for The Gift of Oil.
