AWARDS AND PRESS
What started as Mama Teav's family recipe has become one of the best hot garlic chili crisps you can get your hands on (their words, not ours—okay, maybe also ours). Award givers, food editors, chefs, and spice lovers have been spreading the word about our garlic chili oil, and we're grateful every single time. Here are the people and places singing our praises:
