Italian term

per un pò di trasgressione

Italian to English Other Food & Drink
Again this is taken from a list of products to be displayed in a shop window. Here's the rest of the description:

"Nell'elegante scatola testa di moro, gli spaghetti biologici di farro, l'olio extravergine di oliva al peperoncino per un pò di trasgressione, il sugo alle melanzane........"

Thanks!

alle proposte di Nicole e Gloria aggiungo un consiglio: con estremo tatto, prova a far correggere anche l'errore grammaticale in italiano... io non entrerei in un negozio che ha "un pò di trasgressione" in vetrina ;))))

to indulge the senses

Retaining at least a little of the suggestive sense introduced by what Silvia B considers to be a grammatical error.

to add a little kick/to heat things up/for something different

Hi Lindsay,

I definitely would not use a literal translation of "trasgressione" for a food product. Since the oil has peperoncino in it you could focus on that.
