Gifts for Foodies

Looking for a gift for someone who loves food? Our crispy chilli oils are chef created, award-winning and handmade in the Netherlands. They get used every day, so they won't end up at the back of the cupboard.

Our top pick is the Crispy Chilli Oil Gift Set (€17). Five 40 mL jars from five cuisines, Thai, Turkish, Indian, Chinese and Mexican, in a gift box. It includes Yum Phrik, 1st place for Chili Oil at the European Hot Sauce Awards 2024, and Çıtır Biber, 2 stars at Great Taste.
