A spoonful of this and dinner has somewhere to go. Flamingo Estate's Salsa Macha is a smoky, crunchy chile crisp built on their own Heritage extra virgin olive oil, and it's the jar that ends up next to the stove instead of the back of the fridge.

The chipotles are smoked for 48 hours by the Aquino family in Veracruz, then folded into olive oil with Calabrian chile flakes, smoked Morita chile, garlic, and Big Sur sea salt. The heat is real and the smoke carries it all the way through.
