• Banhoek Chili Oil was established in 2018 in the Cape Winelands (South Africa’s “Napa Valley”) near Cape Town.
• After years of frustration at not being able to find the “sauce piquante” chili oil they’d previously discovered while living in Europe, founders, Ken Kinsey-Quick and Adi Meintjes set out to create their own premium chili oil; testing and trialing dozens of variations of chillies, oils and production methods until they got it just right. What began as a passion project in the kitchen has since grown into a thriving enterprise, now sold in hundreds of stores across Southern Africa, the United Kingdom, Germany, UAE, Australia and the United States. 
• Banhoek Chili Oil won a coveted Great Taste Award in 2019, awarded by the UK’s Guild of Fine Food, the world’s largest and most trusted food accreditation scheme.
• Banhoek Chili Oil is not a HOT product but enhances the flavor of any dish without overpowering. 
• We only use non GMO canola oil for a smoother mouth feel, a more neutral carrier to bring out the chili flavor, not to mention the health benefits of pure canola oil.
• This product is Healthy, Vegan Friendly, Halal, Kosher and 100% natural.
• Banhoek Chili Oil is an essential in every kitchen as its versatility is exceptional ranging from a cooking oil (frying shrimps in it is delicious) to a condiment over breakfast eggs, lunch salad and dinner pizza, pasta, burgers, fish, meat, chicken and even dessert! In other words, any dish you want to spice up!

The BelGioioso story began over a century ago when the great-grandfather of BelGioioso President, Errico Auricchio, founded a cheese company based on a philosophy of excellence. In 1979, Errico moved his family from Italy to America with the goal of continuing his great-grandfather’s legacy. He wanted to craft the best Italian cheeses in the United States.

When Errico came to America, he scoured the United States in search of the highest quality milk to begin his goal of making exceptional specialty cheeses. It was in Wisconsin, “America’s Dairyland”, that he found the dedicated farmers and abundant green pastures and corn fields that produce superior milk. Wisconsin milk was and still is simply unbeatable.

In addition to his immediate family, Errico also brought with him two master cheesemakers, Mauro and Gianni. To these gentlemen, making cheese isn’t a job, it’s a calling. They carry with them a strict focus on quality and an unending passion for crafting flavorful cheeses using artisan methods. Mauro & Gianni remain part of the BelGioioso family today and work tirelessly to share their wisdom with each new generation of cheesemakers.

Together, Errico, Mauro & Gianni began by making cheeses familiar to American consumers such as Provolone, Parmesan and Romano. Soon, consumers wanted more; new cheeses, new flavors and new aromas. Over time, we introduced cheeses previously unknown in America. Mascarpone, CreamyGorg®, Italico® and American Grana® have now become favorites. Today, BelGioioso manufactures, ages, packages and ships over twenty five varieties of specialty cheese with new cheeses continuously in development.

BelGioioso’s commitment to tradition and excellence carries with it the value of knowing how to make Italian cheeses just as they were long ago from recipes passed down by generations. As the company has grown, the passion for tradition and quality has never diminished.

Tradition, selection of ingredients, location and artisan inspiration are cardinal pillars that make BelGioioso cheesemakers the greatest interpreters of the best Italian cheeses in the US.
