Harissa Infused EVOO

Harissa Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Long before hot sauce became a pantry staple in the Western world, the cooks of North Africa and the Middle East had already perfected the art of building complex, layered heat into a single extraordinary condiment. Harissa — a deeply aromatic blend of chili peppers, garlic, caraway, coriander, and cumin — has been the defining flavor of Tunisian, Moroccan, and Levantine cooking for centuries. It is the condiment that appears on every table, finds its way into every pot, and ties together the entire magnificent culinary tradition of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern world.

This early cold pressed EVOO captures that tradition in oil form — bold enough to deliver genuine heat at a confident 7 out of 10, yet subtle and complex enough to let the smoky, earthy character of the spice blend shine through every drop. The caraway and coriander give it that unmistakably exotic North African depth that sets it apart from any ordinary chili oil, while a slight smokiness adds another dimension that makes it as interesting to cook with as it is exciting to taste.

This is not a one trick heat oil. It is a flavor experience.

Pairs beautifully with:

• Couscous — stir in generously for an authentic North African foundation
• Lamb chops, rack of lamb, or slow braised lamb shoulder
• Red sauced pasta dishes — adds smoky, spiced complexity to marinara
• Hummus — drizzle over the top with a pinch of smoked paprika
• Deviled eggs — a small drizzle transforms them completely
• Stews, soups, and tagines
• Roasted vegetables — cauliflower, eggplant, and chickpeas especially
• Any Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or halal style dish
• Tacos and fajitas for a North African twist on a Mexican classic
• Shakshuka — stir into the tomato base for extraordinary depth

Try this: Drizzle over a bowl of creamy hummus, finish with a pinch of our Black Truffle Sea Salt, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and a scattering of chickpeas. Serve with warm pita bread. That single dish captures the entire soul of North African and Middle Eastern cooking in the most effortless and beautiful way imaginable.

Balsamic pairings: Our Pomegranate Balsamic brings a bright tartness that cuts through the heat and adds a distinctly Middle Eastern character to dressings and marinades. Our Mango Balsamic delivers a tropical sweetness that plays brilliantly against the smoky spiced heat. Our Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic provides a clean bright citrus counterpoint that lifts every earthy note and keeps the heat balanced and lively.

A word on the heat: this oil registers a confident 7 out of 10 on the heat scale — genuinely spicy and not for the faint hearted, but complex and layered enough that the heat enhances rather than overwhelms. If you love bold, authentic flavors from the Mediterranean world, this oil was made for you.

All of our oils are early cold pressed extra virgin olive oil — harvested and pressed at peak ripeness for maximum flavor and nutritional value.
