USING CZILLI CORRECTLY
Handmade in Graz. One spoonful at the end – and the dish is 'finished'.
Chili Crunch / Chili Crisp – crispy seasoned oil with character
Chili Crisp (also called Chili Crunch) is a crunchy seasoned oil made from chili flakes, spices, and aromatic crunchy ingredients slowly infused in oil. Unlike classic chili oil, Chili Crisp contains edible, crunchy pieces that combine texture, heat, and umami.
What is the difference between chili crisps and chili oil?
Chili oil consists mainly of flavored oil. Chili Crisp combines oil with crunchy components that are intentionally eaten along with the dish, adding extra depth and texture.
Why Chili Crunch?
-
crispy texture instead of just oil
-
more intense mouthfeel
-
More versatile than classic chili oil
-
Use sparingly as a finishing touch for savory dishes
