Zafa Chili Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil 250mL, Frantoio Fratelli Pugliese

Zafa is a bold, fiery extra virgin olive oil from Frantoio Fratelli Pugliese, produced in S. Domenica Talao, Scalea, in the heart of Calabria, Italy. Crafted from a single variety of Carolea olives, Zafa is made through the joint pressing of olives and Calabrian chili peppers, infusing the oil with a vibrant, natural heat from the very first moment of extraction. No artificial flavourings, no additives, just pure Calabrian fire.

Tasting Profile

• Base: 100% Carolea monocultivar extra virgin olive oil
• Flavour: Bold and spicy, with the natural fruitiness of Carolea olives balanced by the heat of Calabrian chili peppers
• Finish: Warm, lingering spice with a clean, fruity olive oil base

Perfect Pairings

Zafa is a versatile finishing oil and seasoning that adds a spicy kick to any dish:

• Pizza and flatbreads
• Pasta and first courses
• Bruschetta and antipasti
• Vegetable soups and legume dishes
• Grilled meats and roasted vegetables

Why Choose Zafa?

Unlike chili oils made by adding flavouring to a base oil, Zafa is produced through co-pressing, where the olives and Calabrian peppers are pressed together simultaneously, allowing the heat and aroma of the chili to fully integrate into the oil at the point of extraction. The result is a more natural, more complex, and more authentic spicy olive oil.
