From the Barbary Coast of North Africa, this Tunisian Baklouti pepper is rare and unique to this region. This fused oil is the only example of this fruity and spicy green chilli olive oil in the world. Baklouti chilli olive oil is made by combining fresh, early harvest organic olives with an almost equal ratio of fresh, whole green Baklouti chillies. The two, and only two, ingredients are then crushed together, mixed in the malaxer which fuses the fresh green essential oil of the pepper with the organic olive oil. Baklouti adds a savoury, tantalizing kick to salsas, marinades, soups, grilled foods, vegetables and more.
Pairs well with Apricot; Pineapple, Peach, Lychee, Mango, Pink Guava, Watermelon Balamic
