Unlike many chilli oils which use heat to aid the infusion process, our Chilli Pressed EVOO is made in the traditional Italian 'Agrumato' style, where whole chillies and olives are cold-pressed together. This results in an oil with a beautiful burnished orange hue, along with fresh and crunchy capsicum-like flavours as well as a warming heat that builds slowly. It pairs wonderfully with pasta, grilled seafood, dressings, pizzas and just about anything else!

250ml

product information

Agrumato is the traditional Italian method of pressing citrus fruits with olives to create a delectable zesty olive oil.

Here at Mount Zero, once a year we press a range of different fruits with Frantoio olives to create our Agrumato range. The result is amazing - our range is a hit with chefs, home cooks and award judges across the country.

Chemistry / Nutrition:
Total Biophenols; 215 parts per million. Biophenols are the antioxidants that give extra virgin olive oil its great flavour (pepperiness & bitterness) and incredible health properties. Typical oils range between 120 ppm and 350 pmm.

Free Fatty Acid (FFA); 0.28%. To be considered extra virgin olive oil the oil must have a free acidity, expressed as free oleic acid, of no more than 0.8 grams per 100 grams and no sensory defects. In a sense, the FFA level indicates the fruit’s condition at the time the oil was extracted. It's essentially a freshness quotient.

Our Premium Promise:

All Mount Zero Olive Oil is cold-pressed (room temperature) just hours after harvest to maintain premium quality. Similarly, our 100% Australian olive oils come from the first pressing of the olives which is what the term 'extra virgin' refers to.

Great- just the right level of heat

Love this chilli oil more than I expected. I got it because I wanted to try the 3 pack, and thought this would be for the odd pizza but I’ve used it on way more dishes already. So good on sardines on toast! For me, a little goes a long way but the heat level is just right. You can taste it but it doesn’t burn.

Chilli infused oil.

love the Mt Zero oil, but last time i got infused oil it was ‘infused’!! This time around can barely taste the infusion.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your review! Our Chilli Pressed EVOO is definitely a more subtle flavour than some infused chilli oils, as we press the chillies together with the olives without any heat. We're constantly experimenting with the quantity of chillies, so we will take your feedback into consideration.

Cheers,

The Mount Zero team
