What is Original Chili Crisp?

Original Chili Crisp is the everyday jar — the balanced one you reach for without thinking. It is a chili crisp made with avocado oil instead of seed oils, so there is no canola or soybean oil in the jar. Onto that clean base we layer garlic, ginger, shallots and a warm spice blend for depth that goes well past heat. It is layered, crunchy, and built on real ingredients. If you have seen this style of condiment called chili crunch, this is the same thing — a spoonable, crunchy chili condiment you can cook with or finish with.

Why avocado oil instead of seed oils

Most chili crisps lean on seed oils. Ours starts with avocado oil for a cleaner, more neutral base — no seed oils, ever, which means no canola and no soybean oil. The result is no funky aftertaste and no fillers, just flavor that tastes like something.

• Avocado-oil base — no canola, no soybean oil
• No fillers, no funky aftertaste
• Small batch, made in Asheville, NC
• Balanced heat — warmth and depth, not just burn

What it tastes like

Balanced and warming rather than punishing. The garlic, ginger and shallots build a savory foundation, and the warm spice blend adds depth so the heat lands as flavor, not just fire. Crunchy texture in every spoonful.

Ways to use it

There is no wrong way to use Original Chili Crisp — cook with it or finish with it, both work.

• Spoon it over a bowl of plain white rice and dinner's done
• Stir it into mayo for a standout sandwich spread
• Fold it through scrambled eggs
• Drag a dumpling through it
• Spoon it over a fried-egg-and-avocado situation

How it compares to our other chili crisps
