For heat, depth and a flicker of bitterness. This is the jar you reach for when a dish needs waking up. It’s hot, but not harsh. Fragrant with dried chilli/hot pepper flakes and rounded out with garlic, it lingers without overpowering. Stir into pasta, spoon over beans or drizzle onto pizza crusts. If you’ve got a jar of this in the refrigerator, you’re never far from something flavourful.
