Fall club seasonal: Cool Cat

Our first mushroom chili crisp, and a three-way collaboration: lion's mane grown by Amanda Janney at her urban farm in Santa Rosa and chiles from Little Saint Farm in Healdsburg.

The chile blend leans guajillo and cayenne — clean heat up front, roasty sweetness and a tart cherry note underneath — with a few buena mulata peppers on top for a kick. Organic almonds are a first for us, and they bring a buttery crunch that plays against the lion's mane, which is mild, savory, and faintly sweet rather than earthy like the porcini and shiitake in our OG.

Herbalist-formulated, with a very intentional cooking process for fully extracted brain-boosting properties.

Just like all the others: Good on everything. Vegan. Gluten-free. Made by hand in Sonoma County.

First run — limited quantities.

Cheers to a new era.

Hei Ma (黑馬) means “dark horse” in Mandarin — a symbol of unexpected strength, resilience, and comeback energy. The new name feels perfect for the next chapter of this chili crisp project, especially as we head into the Year of the Horse on the Chinese zodiac calendar. 

Thank you for coming along for the ride. Stay tuned for what's in store!

What is chili crisp?

Chili crisp is a family of condiments traditionally made with dried chile peppers, aromatics, and spices infused in oil for a perfectly crunchy, crispy, tingly, flavorful kick. It has roots in Sichuan cuisine, but its versatility makes it universally delicious on any dish.

Our lineup of chili crisp features recipes developed with a former cocktail bartender's approach to balance and building remarkable flavors in each spoonful. Give us a try and watch as chili crisp becomes your favorite condiment on the shelf!
