DESCRIPTION
Four ingredients. Each present for a reason. A cold-pressed olive oil base, infused with Bhut Jolokia from Assam, underscored with black pepper and garlic.
Olive Oil — Jaén, Andalusia
The oil
Cold-pressed from a single grove in Jaén — one of Spain's most significant olive-growing provinces. Clean, grassy, quietly present.
The quietest ingredient in the bottle. And the most important — chosen for what it holds without imposing.

Bhut Jolokia — Sibsagar, Assam
The pepper
Suspended in oil, the Bhut Jolokia behaves differently. Its heat becomes more diffuse. Its smokiness, more prominent. The oil draws out the character of the chilli slowly, in a way that water-based preparations cannot.
Supporting Ingredients
The supporting notes
Black pepper from Goalpara adds a woody, aromatic underpinning — deepening the context without competing. Garlic from Mandsaur provides savoury grounding. Used sparingly. Its role is structural, not declarative.
Flavour
On balance
The oil opens green and clean. The smokiness of the Bhut Jolokia follows — measured, unhurried. The pepper deepens the middle. The heat comes last and lingers without overstaying.
"There is a difference between an oil that makes you reach for water and one that makes you reach for more bread."
Considered companions.
THIS OIL WAS MADE TO BE USED — NOT KEPT. FIND THE THINGS IT MAKES BETTER, AND KEEP GOING UNTIL THE BOTTLE IS EMPTY.
