Introducing… the spicy sidekick you never knew you needed! 🌶️✨

Meet our brand-new CHILLI CRISP — a bold, chewy, umami-rich chili oil packed with fragrant onion, garlic, chilli and warm spices that adds the perfect kick to any dish.

It’s sweet, spicy, savoury, and totally ADDICTIVE. Basically… the jar you’ll wonder how you ever lived without!

👉 How to use it?
– Drizzle over eggs, noodles, rice, or soups 🍳🍜
– Use as a dip for dumplings and roasted veggies 🥟🥦
– Toss with meats, seafood, or tofu for next-level flavour 🍤🥩
– Elevate pizza, burgers, and sandwiches 🍕🍔
– Mix into dressings, marinades, and sauces 🥗
– Add to stir-fries, cheese boards or level up your avo toast 🥑
– AND… if you’re feeling adventurous… spoon it over vanilla ice cream for a spicy-sweet explosion! 🍦🤯

BONUS: Instantly makes you feel like a kitchen rockstar (even if you’re just microwaving leftovers). 😜

🎉 This weekend only:
Come and taste it for FREE in our farm shop!
🍽️ And in the restaurant, we’ve snuck it into our Poke Bowl and our famous Pork Belly Roll… and it’s next-level.
