Like Family Ci Ci Chili Oil

Gently spicy and deeply peppery, Like Family’s Cí Cí Chili Oil is cold pressed from California arbequina olives and fresh, whole central coast jalapeño, fresno, and anaheim chilies.

“Cí Cí is not your average chili oil. It's what the olio industry likes to call a "co-mill", where we actually mill fresh, whole, organic chilies and just-harvested arbequina olives together, to create a pure chili-olive oil that reveals the complexity of each fruit. This whole-fruit co-milling method yields an oil that is vibrant, nuanced, and assertively fruit-forward.”

“We had pizza in mind when we made cí cí, but it also enlivens poached eggs, smoky eggplant, grilled salmon, fresh popcorn — and so much more.”

Harvested, 2022.

“Like Family is a California craft extra virgin olive olive oil producer. We make fruit-forward, expressive extra virgin olive oil from our own orchard in Carmel Valley and like-minded neighboring California growers. Our oils are organic, single origin, and importantly, fresh from the new harvest. The best chefs know that a heavy splash of the right finishing oil transforms a good dish into a GREAT dish — a raw tomato into a Michelin-starred salad, a simple grilled steak into a trip to Tuscany. Like Family supplies many celebrated Northern California restaurants, but our dream is share our oil — and these moments of sensory revelry — with home cooks and food lovers everywhere!”
