Growing up in São Paulo, my family’s roots were deeply entwined in the world of hospitality, shaping both my upbringing and my eventual path as a champagne sommelier. From an early age, I watched my grandmother and father work magic in the kitchen, always adding a finishing touch of this special oil to their creations. Carolina’s Spicy Oil carries with it a rich history, offering a distinctive depth of flavor and the perfect balance of heat, designed to delight spice enthusiasts.

Now, my daughters and I proudly continue our Brazilian culinary tradition, and we are thrilled to share a little bit of that legacy with you. Let Carolina’s Spicy Oil bring a vibrant touch of spice to your table!
