More about our crispy chilli oil

What is crispy chilli oil?

Regular chilli oil is mostly oil that chilli has been steeped in. Crispy chilli oil keeps the crunchy bits in, so every spoonful gives you heat, crunch and savoury flavour at once. Read our guide What is crispy chilli oil? to learn more.

Why ours tastes different

Most chilli crisps are Chinese style. Nicole builds each of ours around a cuisine she loves, so Yum Phrik tastes like Thai laab and Çıtır Biber tastes of the Turkish kitchen. Flavour comes first and heat second, and every jar is made with no MSG, no flavour enhancers and no artificial preservatives.

Our flavours

Yum Phrik Thai makrut lime leaf, lemongrass, ginger, toasted rice
Çıtır Biber Turkish pul biber, isot biber, mint, rose, pomegranate
Crunchy Spice Chinese Sichuan pepper, star anise, peanuts, sesame
Curry Bomb Indian curry leaf, mustard seed, cumin, nigella
Pizza Chilli Crisp Italian garlic, tomato, fennel, oregano

Çıtır Biber, Yum Phrik, Pizza Chilli Crisp and Curry Bomb are mild. Crunchy Spice builds a little more, and Agave Chilli Crisp is the hottest.
