Convento dos Cardaes Piri Piri Hot Olive Oil 50 ml

Convento dos Cardaes Piri Piri Hot Olive Oil 50 ml is a Portuguese olive oil flavoured with piri piri chilli, from the Convento dos Cardaes in Lisbon. A few drops are enough to wake up a grilled chicken or a plate of prawns.

Flavour and texture

Piri piri is the small, fiery chilli that Portuguese cooks use everywhere. Steeped in olive oil, it gives a hot, fruity oil that adds heat and colour without overpowering the dish.

Food pairing

Brush it on frango assado, grilled prawns, sausages or pizza, or add a drop to a stew. Cool the fire with a fresh white wine or a cold beer.
