  • Toast and grind for fresh hot powder, add whole to sauces for extreme heat, or infuse in oil for fiery chilli oil.

Also known as Chile Mosquito, this small yet hot Mexican varietal is a domesticated relative of the Tepin Chilli. We use this chilli in our English Pickling Spice, but it is also good for giving heat and flavour to vinegars, salsas and sauces. With a smoky, nutty and citrus-like taste, its neat, rounded shape is also pleasing to the eye.

FAQs

A single origin spice comes from one specific growing region, rather than being combined with other spices into a blend. Because it's not mixed with anything else, you get the true, unaltered flavour of that spice.

A blend (like a Ras El Hanout or Souvlaki Rub) combines multiple spices to create a new, layered flavour. A single origin spice is just one ingredient on its own, which can be used in cooking, to create your own blends, or to season a dish with a distinct flavour.

We source each spice from its authentic land of origin, or from wherever in the world the quality is best. That's why you'll find, for example, Tasmanian Pepperberry, French Lavender and Cinnamon from Sri Lanka in our range, each is chosen because that region grows or produces it best.

Many of our ground single origin spices are milled locally in small batches to lock in freshness, rather than being milled overseas months before reaching Australian shelves. Whole spices are packed as they arrive from origin, so you can grind or use them as needed.
