Beautiful littleneck clams swim in olive oil infused with confit garlic and chili pepper. Savory with a slight kick of heat and supremely tender and flavorful, these clams were farm raised on the Virginia cost by the folks at Cherrystone Aqua-Farms. We recommend saving the confit garlic clove for last, eating it when you reach the end of the tin. Bottoms up!
