REGION: COZENZA, CALABRIA, ITALY
From the southern tip of Italy, Suriano is rooted in Calabria’s deeply expressive food culture—where heat, simplicity, and bold flavor define the table. Based in the province of Cosenza, the producer focuses on peperoncino-driven preserves, capturing the region’s signature aromas and rustic intensity in small, focused productions. At its core, this oil reflects Calabria itself: sun-driven agriculture, coastal microclimates, and a culinary tradition where chili is not just heat—but identity.
Crafted in Calabria, Italy, this infused oil blends extra virgin olive oil with dried Calabrian peperoncino for a balanced expression of heat and flavor. The chili delivers a gentle warmth with subtle natural sweetness, creating a versatile finishing oil that enhances—rather than overwhelms—your dish. A few drops bring depth and character to everything from pizza and pasta to grilled vegetables and seafood.
