INSIDE THE JAR

The secret is
the crisp

Every other chilli oil goes soft and mushy in the jar. Ours doesn't. Handcrafted in Brisbane and cooked in the jar itself, with crushed cashew and chewy black beans caramelised in coconut sugar — crunch that lasts to the last spoon.

COOKED IN THE JAR
The chilli cooks in its own jar. Nothing goes soft.
CHEWY BLACK BEANS
Caramelised in coconut sugar for a dark, sticky depth.
STILL CRISP
Other chilli oils turn to mush. This one never does.

It all started — Hsinchu, Taiwan

MADE IN BRISBANE, QLD

OUR STORY

It started with
a noodle shop

The Taste Peddler was founded in a home kitchen by a 'mostly' vegetarian cook with an unhealthy obsession with food. It all started with a batch of chilli crisp.

The addiction to chilli is a homage to years spent backpacking and teaching English in Hsinchu, Taiwan, where dinner meant a local noodle shop and lashings of crispy chilli oil. No matter the meal, chilli oil lifted it.

After supplying endless jars to friends, the Taste Peddler was born — a small business in a world of big corporations, making everything from scratch. Hand made, hand labelled, carefully sourced and packed in recyclable packaging. Why so fussy? Simple: we eat our products too.

"Spice and umami. Crispy chewy bits and big crunchy bits of luxurious cashew."
On Chilli Crisp with Cashew — our first product
  1. 01

    ONE CHILLI

    A single chilli, sourced and toasted properly. No muddled blends, no filler heat.

  2. 02

    SLOW CARAMELISE

    Black beans go chewy and dark in coconut sugar, building the savoury backbone.

  3. 03

    COOKED IN THE JAR

    Packed in dry, topped with oil, then cooked in its own jar — which is exactly why the crunch survives.

  4. 04

    OLIVE OR CANOLA

    Same crisp, your call on the oil — rounder extra virgin, or clean and neutral.

“Genuinely the only chilli crisp I've had that's still crunchy at the bottom of the jar. The black beans are dangerous.”

“Bought one jar at a market, came back the next week for four. Goes on eggs, noodles, roast veg, everything.”

“The olive oil version is a different animal — richer, and the crunch holds up for weeks in the fridge.”
