The Ultimate Guide to Hot Red Pepper Infused Olive Oil — Bulk 5 Gallon

Sonoma Farm — Premium Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Introduction: Hot Red Pepper Infused Olive Oil from Sonoma Farm delivers bold, fiery heat in a base of all-natural, first cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil — with red chili flakes left floating in the oil for authentic heat, visual appeal, and maximum flavor impact. This bulk 5 gallon / 19 liter size gives food service operations the consistent heat source their menus demand.

What Is Hot Red Pepper Infused Olive Oil?

Created by infusing first cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil with red chili flakes, which remain suspended in the oil for both flavor and presentation. The result is a bold, heat-forward oil with the earthy, complex spice of red pepper — more rounded and aromatic than straight hot sauce, and more versatile as a cooking and finishing oil.

The Infusion Process

• Only red chili flakes and first cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil are used.
• Chili flakes are infused into and left floating in the EVOO for continuous flavor development and visual appeal.
• No artificial heat additives — the spice comes entirely from the red chili flakes themselves.

Health Benefits

Extra virgin olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats, polyphenols, and vitamin E — supporting heart health, reducing inflammation, and aiding brain function. Red chili peppers contribute capsaicin, known for its metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties, along with vitamin C and vitamin A. Together, this blend delivers bold heat with the nutritional foundation of premium EVOO — with no trans fat.

Cooking Tips

Low to Medium Heat

Best used for finishing, dipping, and low-heat sautéing. High temperatures can cause the chili flakes to become bitter. For the boldest, cleanest heat, add as a final drizzle after cooking.

Swirl Before Pouring

Give the container a gentle swirl before each use to redistribute the chili flakes evenly throughout the oil. This ensures consistent heat and flavor in every pour.

Decanting Tip

Pour from the 5-gallon container into smaller dark glass bottles or kitchen dispensers for easy table service and daily use. Keep the main container sealed and stored in a cool, dark place to preserve heat intensity and freshness.

Storage Tips

Store in a dark, cool place. Always close tightly after use. Best within 12 months of opening.
