If you are a Foodie, Vegan or Vegetarian you know that olive oil is not only healthy for you but is also a Superfood!
Spicy foods have exploded over the last 5-10 years as more Foodies like to give their meal just enough 'kick" for flavor.
Although some people prescribe to the theory that more is more, when it comes to spice we believe that spice should be a component of the overall flavor profile – we’re not trying to make a spicy oil that’s going break the Scoville Scale.
But we are trying to make fresh olive oil with a strong taste of the pepper along with a moderate kick in the back of the throat.
This way you can taste the entire flavor of the peppery oil before the heat comes into play.
One of the great things about Nuvo’s Fused Olive Oils is that we first cold press the olives with the whole food. This means that some of the health benefits from the whole food are imparted into the oil. In this case, that is especially beneficial.
Jalapenos are full of Vitamin C
