Gourmet Garden Chilli Paste is made with vibrant chillies, grown by Aussie farmers on broad-acre farms in Queensland, where with warm subtropical climate and rich soil delivers the perfect conditions for flavoursome, aromatic spices. The chillies are harvested when the essential oils (that's the flavour, colour and aroma) are at their peak and then transported within 18 hours of harvest to our Palmwoods factory where they are washed, chopped and cold blended for fresher flavour that lasts for 4 weeks*. Chilli Cold Blended Paste is great for those of us who like it a little spicy (but not too hot!) and hate chilli fingers! Chilli can be added at the beginning of your cooking to infuse the flavour base throughout the rest of your cooking and towards the end for a sharper flavour. Chilli suits most cuisines but particularly pairs well with Asian curries, marinades and sauces. In cooking, for medium heat use 1 teaspoon of chilli paste and for hot heat use 1 tablespoon of chilli paste. - Chilli without the prep and hassle of chilli fingers - Made with Australian grown chilli - Fresher flavour that lasts for 4 weeks once opened*. - In cooking, for medium heat use 1 teaspoon of chilli paste and for hot heat use 1 tablespoon of chilli paste - Delicious stirred into stir fries, dressings and pasta sauces (*Fresh for 4 weeks refers to the flavour and aroma being maintained for 4 weeks upon opening on or before the best before date.)
