What it is
These are small, round cherry peppers that have been sliced and preserved in oil. The peppers offer a noticeable heat, balanced by the richness of the oil. They are ready to use straight from the jar, providing a convenient way to add a spicy, tangy element to various dishes. The oil they are packed in also carries their flavor and can be incorporated into cooking.
