Essential item!
An amazing addition to ANY meal or snack. Perfect level of spiceiness. My only gripe is that the jars aren’t 10x bigger! Yum.

Great product
Great product! We used the shrimp chilli in our curries, soups and as a condiment. The taste is really nice, spicy but with a bit of sweetness to it. It also was delivered in good condition and quite soon after I placed my order. We have ran out in just over a month and can’t wait to order more :)

Hi Beth,

Really happy with this product
Really happy with this product! Tasty, spicy (but not too spicy) and goes with everything!
Product received on time.
The delivery is quite expensive (VS the product itself) which is a shame!
Other thing I would say is I bought these as a gift (after having them gifted to me previously!) but the box they arrived in was the 'delivery' box! So they had the 'fragile' tape all around it! Means I either need to find another box or explain the box being the 'delivery' box and not a 'presentation' box.
The personalised note in it was nice as well.

A very versatile and unique chilli paste! I’ve only tried it as a condiment but I feel it would work really well as an ingredient too. No preservatives and a 4 week shelf life really sweeten the deal too

Chilli Trail chilli paste is absolutely brilliant — rich, bold, and beautifully balanced. It has a deep, authentic chilli flavour with just the right level of heat, rather than being overpowering, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. It adds instant depth to any dish, whether you’re cooking, marinating, or just finishing a meal. One of those rare chilli pastes that’s both versatile and genuinely addictive 🌶️

As a Sri Lankan, this hits the spot
As a Sri Lankan, I can happily say this took me back to the chilli paste back home. Brilliant flavour and spicy just how I like it. Would highly recommend and would purchase again.

Rounded flavour
Quick delivery, amazing taste - the vegan chilli sauce has become a staple in our house. Added to vegan bolognaise for depth of flavour or added from the jar to baked potatoes, it improves all types of meal.

Out of this world!
The vegan chilli paste is out of this world. I'd love to buy a much bigger jar of it as I'm using it on everything and get through it so quickly. I first bought it at a Christmas maker's market and hope to see it everywhere soon. Best of luck to your small business!!

This Sri Lankan chilli paste is amazing!
This Sri Lankan chilli paste is next-level. The flavour is rich, smoky, and beautifully balanced with just the right amount of heat. I’ve been adding it to rice, noodles, stir-fries, even on top of eggs, and it transforms every dish instantly.
The texture is perfect too—thick, chunky, and packed with flavour in every spoonful. You can tell it’s made with quality ingredients and proper care. If you love bold, authentic flavours, this is an absolute must-try. I’ll definitely be buying it again!

Amazing for jazzing up all sorts of food
I absolutely love my spicy food and these chili pastes really deliver! I've been mixing into loads of different things; a personal favourite has been jazzing up plain old chicken soup. It's become a stock-cupboard essential of mine already
