Cayenne Red Pepper Oil
Cayenne Red Pepper Oil
Cayenne Red Pepper Oil
Cayenne peppers infused in cold-pressed sesame oil and extra virgin olive oil, prepared in our facility in Amman. Nothing else — no mineral oils, no synthetic additives, no colourings.
What it's for
Mostly, the table. This is a chilli oil made to be poured over food, and the way we use it most is the simplest: a spoonful over hummus.
The heat sits in the oil rather than in solid flakes, so it spreads evenly across a dish instead of arriving in patches. Sesame gives it a nutty base and olive oil rounds the finish, which is why it works with Levantine food rather than fighting it.
How to use it
- Over hummus — a spoonful in the centre, or drizzled across the top. The reason most people buy it.
- Mutabbal, labneh and yoghurt dips — the same treatment
- Eggs — fried, scrambled, or over shakshuka
- Grilled meat and chicken — poured over after cooking
- Roasted vegetables — particularly potatoes and cauliflower
- Soups and lentil dishes — a spoonful stirred in at the table
- Manaqish and flatbread — brushed on, or for dipping
- Rice and grain dishes — over mujaddara or freekeh
- Pizza and pasta — where you'd otherwise reach for a commercial chilli oil
Shake before using, since the pepper settles.
The heat
Warm and building rather than sharp. Cayenne gives a steady heat that arrives a moment after the taste, and the two oils soften it. Most people find it comfortable rather than punishing — but start with less and add more, as with any chilli oil.
The base oils
Both are ours. The sesame is cold-pressed and unrefined in our own facility, and it's the same oil we sell on its own — chosen because it's naturally stable and adds a nuttiness that suits pepper. The extra virgin olive oil brings the fruitiness and body.
Most commercial chilli oils are made in whatever refined oil is cheapest. Since an infused oil is mostly carrier, the carrier is most of what you're buying.
On the body
Cayenne oil also has a long traditional use as a warming massage oil, rubbed into tired muscles and joints. That use is still valid, and this is the same food-grade product — nothing in it is unsuitable for skin.
Patch-test first. Capsaicin is what makes pepper hot, and it does the same on skin — keep it well away from the eyes, and wash your hands after applying.

History of Red Pepper Oil
Red peppers have been valued for centuries in culinary traditions and herbal practices across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. Known for their vibrant color and distinctive spicy flavor, peppers became an important ingredient in both traditional foods and infused oil preparations.
The practice of infusing peppers in vegetable oils developed as a natural way to extract and preserve their flavor, aroma, and beneficial plant compounds. Traditionally, red peppers were steeped in oils such as olive oil and sesame oil to create versatile preparations used in cooking, massage blends, and various wellness traditions.
In many cultures, pepper-infused oils became popular for adding warmth and flavor to foods, including noodles, soups, hummus, marinades, dressings, and regional dishes. At the same time, they were incorporated into traditional body care and massage routines due to their naturally warming properties.
