Montosco Chili Gift Set – Piccante Italian Chilli Experience

The heat of the South to dose on your pizza and pasta

Your pizza is good, but something is missing. This gift set brings chili in several forms: a chili-infused extra virgin olive oil for finishing, flakes to crush and a spice blend for pasta. The goal is not to burn, but to wake up the other flavors.

What you will taste

• Texture: a fluid, silky oil, flakes that crunch under the tooth.
• Aromas: a dry, herbaceous heat that rises to the nose.
• Taste: a heat that you dose, round in the mouth, with a slightly smoky finish.

How to use it

• A drizzle of oil on a margherita out of the oven, or in spaghetti aglio e olio, with garlic and oil.
• The crushed flakes on a burrata, or sprinkled over a warm focaccia.
• The “Spaghetti Audacieux” blend for a homemade arrabbiata sauce.

Where it comes from

In the South of Italy, and in Calabria in particular, peperoncino, chili, is a kitchen reflex more than a condiment. This gift set brings together three uses: the oil, the flakes and a blend for pasta.
