Savage Hombre

Savage Hombre was founded by James Elliot in 2016. James wanted chilli on almost everything but couldn't find a sauce with the right hit. Most either lacked heat or came with flavours that took over the meal, so he started experimenting with his own recipes.

Instead of blending chilli into a sauce, James found that infusing it in oil was the best way to add heat while keeping the subtle flavours of the food. That's the Savage Hombre Chilli Oil we stock: a drizzle-on chilli oil for when you want warmth and flavour, not a sauce that hides your cooking.

Drizzle it over a smash burger, finish steak tacos with it, or try it on pizza straight out of one of our pizza ovens. More heat in hot sauce. Click & collect in Brunswick or free shipping over $149.

How to use chilli oil

  • Pizza: A drizzle over a fresh pizza, especially margherita, salami or mushroom.
  • Eggs and breakfast: Fried eggs, scrambled eggs, avocado toast and breakfast burritos.
  • Grilled meat: Spoon over sliced steak, lamb or grilled chicken after resting. Oil carries the heat without masking the char.
  • Noodles, rice and dumplings: Stir through or use as a dipping oil.
  • Marinades: Swap some of the oil in a marinade for chilli oil to build heat into skewers or wings.

Chilli oil vs hot sauce

Hot sauce brings vinegar, sweetness or fruit along with the chilli. Chilli oil is cleaner. It adds heat and a little chilli flavour, then gets out of the way. That makes it handy when you want to spice up a dish without changing its character. Start with a small drizzle and build up.

Pair it up

Try it on our wings or jalapeno poppers. Store the bottle in a cool, dark spot and shake before using.
