Piky Lux was the stage name my beloved Aunt went by in her youth, when she was a singer in Mexico City. Tia Piky Lux is the garlic lover's stage fantasy — her rounded spiciness and strong garlic essence is our version of a nut-free thick Salsa Macha (Strong Sauce), from the state of Veracruz.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Best chile oil ever. We got this at a holiday market and have been hooked ever since. This is our 6th jar — it never disappoints. I put this on just about everything."
— Stella S., Verified Buyer

— Michael N., Verified Buyer
