Thank you so much Lucinda! We’re so happy to be working with you and providing all your customers with their chilli paste fix.
Delicious chilli paste
Delicious chilli paste. My son loves it. So much so that we bought 6 jars as we go through so much! So versatile - we use it to enhance the flavour of so many dishes. Great to support a friendly, local growing business too.

I recently tried this Sri Lankan chilli paste and it completely exceeded my expectations. The flavour is incredibly rich and authentic, with the perfect balance of heat and depth. You can really taste how original and well-crafted it is. Without a doubt, it’s the best chilli paste I’ve ever had – I highly recommend it to anyone who loves bold, unique flavours.

The Chilli Trail Paste
A really great product full of flavour and quality ingredients. Arrived on time safely with great communication beforehand. The product is at the right price. Tastes absolutely amazing on bread, cheese or in a recipe.
I can't wait to properly cook with it again.

Tried this recently and I’m actually obsessed 🌶️
The flavour is so unique—honestly nothing like I’ve had before—and it’s got that perfect balance of heat and depth. You can really taste the quality too, it doesn’t feel like your average jarred chilli paste at all.
And the branding? So good!! Properly stands out! Can’t wait to spice up my dishes. 🌶️

Excellent Cilli paste, Excellent service!
I first enjoyed the Cilli trail's paste after buying a jar in Arundel, and was so impressed I decided to order more once the jar had emptied. ( it did not take long, I used it a lot!) Unfortunately, through no fault of Theo or Harriet's the order went adrift (Thank Evri!) but Theo quickly remedied the situation, sending out a new order, in short order! I will certainly be ordering again. An excellent product
