Product Description
Poons Extraordinary Chilli Oil began as a homemade recipe created by Bill Poon for friends and family, who would return empty jars to be refilled. After being discovered by renowned pastry chef Helen Goh of Ottolenghi, the recipe gained a wider audience and has since become a favourite among food lovers.
What sets this chilli oil apart is its use of salted black beans, a traditional ingredient that brings an extraordinary depth of savoury umami. Combined with ginger, garlic and carefully balanced chillies, the result is a condiment that delivers complexity, richness and aroma alongside a gentle warming heat.
Rather than overpowering food, it enhances and enriches, making it an indispensable finishing condiment and cooking ingredient.
