There is a reason chilli flakes sit on every pizzeria table, every noodle bar counter, and every serious home cook’s spice shelf within arm’s reach. Versatile, immediate, and deeply satisfying, dried chilli flakes deliver a bright, rustic heat with a depth and texture that ground chilli simply cannot replicate. Not just a source of spice but a genuine flavour ingredient that adds colour, aroma, and a slow, building warmth to everything from a simple pasta to a complex slow-cooked braise.
Bright and boldly spicy with a fruity, slightly smoky heat and a satisfying rustic texture that adds visual appeal alongside flavour. Dried chilli flakes deliver a more rounded, complex heat than cayenne, with a gentle fruitiness from the dried pepper skin and a warmth that builds gradually and lingers pleasantly. The seeds carry the most intense heat while the flakes themselves deliver a more measured, nuanced spiciness that suits everyday cooking beautifully.
Dried chilli flakes can be added at any stage of cooking depending on the heat level and flavour depth you are after. Bloom them in warm oil at the start of cooking to infuse the entire dish with a gentle, rounded heat, or scatter them over a finished dish for a more immediate, textural spice hit. They rehydrate quickly in sauces and soups, softening and releasing their heat gradually as they cook.
Use chilli flakes in pasta sauces, pizza toppings, stir fries, marinades, spice rubs, chilli oils, soups and stews, roasted vegetables, and dipping oils. They pair naturally with garlic, olive oil, lemon, tomato, ginger, and soy sauce.
Chilli flakes are the defining heat in a classic Italian Arrabbiata Sauce, the fiery, punchy tomato pasta sauce that delivers maximum flavour with minimum effort. They are essential in a properly made Aglio e Olio, bring warmth and colour to a slow-cooked Shakshuka, and are the go-to finishing spice for a Neapolitan Pizza straight from the oven. For a simple but deeply satisfying pantry staple, warm chilli flakes in quality olive oil with garlic and a strip of lemon peel for a Chilli Infused Dipping Oil that transforms any bread into something worth sitting down for.
Gluten free, no additives, and allergen friendly. Heat levels can vary between batches depending on the variety of chilli used. Start with a small amount and adjust to your preferred heat level.
