Why Sauce Makers Use Chilli Paste
Working with fresh chillies can be rewarding, but it can also be unpredictable. Heat levels vary, prep takes time, and seasonal changes can affect flavour, colour and moisture.
Chilli paste gives you a more consistent base ingredient while still allowing you to control the final sauce.
- Consistent heat and flavour
- No chopping or fresh chilli prep
- Suitable for cooking, fermentation or cold blending
- Easier to scale from test batches to commercial production
- Safer handling compared to cutting fresh chillies
Made Fresh, Supplied Uncooked
Our chilli paste is made fresh from selected chillies and supplied uncooked. It is not smoked, fermented or heat-treated before supply.
This gives sauce makers full control over cooking time, acidity, sweetness, fermentation, texture and final flavour.
- Fresh chilli base
- Uncooked paste
- No forced fermentation
- No smoking unless specifically requested
- Smooth consistency for easy blending

Preservation Options
Preservation can be tailored to suit your sauce style, shelf-life goals and flavour direction.
- Citric acid
- Sodium benzoate
- Potassium sorbate
- Xanthan gum for texture and stability
- Vinegar, if required
Vinegar can be useful in some products, but it has a strong flavour. For sweet chilli sauces and flavour-forward sauces, we can recommend other options that help preserve the product without overpowering the taste.
Bulk Supply Options
We can supply chilli paste in commercial quantities while still working with smaller producers who are developing or scaling their products.
- Small trial batches
- 5L, 10L and 15L food-grade buckets
- Custom blends
