While living abroad and in lock down for months at a time, we began experimenting with new dishes and condiments to accompany our food.

We wanted to create a simple product to elevate our home cooking.

Cooking primarily a range of traditional Italian dishes and modern Asian cuisine, we wanted something that could be used across cuisines and used both in cooking and as a garnish.

With Paolo’s childhood filled with growing chillies and vegetables at his families home, it was the perfect base to start with and brought a bit of home while trapped in dreary London lockdowns.

This is where the chilli oil was born.

After perfecting the recipe, we shared a little bottle of our love with our closest family and friends as a bonbonniere at our wedding and now we lovingly share bottles across Australia for all to enjoy.
