Chili Crisp = ❤️
For us, it is and always will be Chili Crisp.
All the other names are fine, too—as long as the crunch and flavor are right.
Why This Crispy Chili Oil Has a Different Crunch
Three things set our Crispy Chili Oil apart from the other chili oils on the shelf.
-
Brimming with pieces
Roasted chili flakes, garlic, onions, fermented soybeans: the pieces fill the jar almost to the brim, with oil pooled in the spaces between them. The exact amount varies slightly from one variety to another—each ingredient has a different texture. But one thing is the same for all of them: they crunch all the way to the last spoonful.
-
No added MSG
The seasoning is made from fermented soybeans, shiitake mushrooms, and roasted garlic. Natural sources of glutamate; no additives.
-
200 g instead of 160 g
Many well-known brands in this category contain 155 to 170 g. Ours contains 200 g, packed to the brim with crispy pieces.
Just a spoonful of Crispy Chili Oil, and the dish is ready
Crispy chili oil goes on top of the dish—not in it. It’s the final step, the finishing touch, not the base.
Crispy Chili Oil – A Quick Guide
Is Crispy Chili Oil the same thing as Chili Crisp?
Yes. Different names for the same product category—chili oil with crunchy bits. “Chili Crunch” is the third common name.
What is the difference between chili oil and crispy chili oil?
Chili oil is pure, spicy oil. Crispy Chili Oil also contains crispy bits—garlic, onions, chili flakes—for texture and deeper umami flavor.
Is Crispy Chili Oil always spicy?
No. Our range goes from Crunchy Garlic (heat level 0—just garlic and crunch) to Extra Hot (heat level 3).
Is Crispy Chili Oil vegan?
Yes, all five varieties.
Does Crispy Chili Oil contain MSG?
No added MSG. The flavor comes from fermented soybeans, shiitake mushrooms, and roasted garlic.
What can I use Crispy Chili Oil for?
As a final touch on almost anything: eggs, pasta, ramen, rice, avocado toast, cheese. Don't cook it along with the rest—otherwise you'll lose the crunch.
How long does Crispy Chili Oil last after opening?
In the refrigerator, when scooped out with a clean spoon, it will keep for several weeks.
Why does the oil rise to the top in Chili Crunch?
Because it doesn't contain any emulsifiers. Stir once before use.
Where can I buy Crispy Chili Oil?
Right here or in stores.
Trying CHILI CRISP just once is usually not enough
"That's why our Crispy Chili Oil is also available in a value pack—we've found that the first jar empties faster than you'd expect."
Brands use English on their labels, and retailers translate them: “Crispy Chili Oil” becomes “Knuspriges Chiliöl” at REWE and “Knapperige Chili Olie” at a Dutch retailer. That’s why you’ll find the same product under five different names—and you’ll look for it based on where you last saw it.
That's the real catch: "chili oil" can be a clear seasoned oil in a dropper bottle or a spoonable product full of roasted pieces. The name doesn't tell you—only the jar does.
