A Fresh New Chapter at Ricci’s
At Ricci’s, we’ve always believed in making good food better. Since 2003, we’ve been known as the home of the original Pita Crisp—a staple in Australian households for over 22 years.
Now, we’re going beyond bikkies to bring you something completely new: Ricci’s Crispy Chilli & Candied Garlic. Made in Thailand and inspired by our love of Asian flavours, this savoury condiment is already winning hearts across Australia.
What Makes Ricci’s Crispy Chilli & Candied Garlic Different?
There are plenty of chilli oils out there—but none like ours. Ricci’s Crispy Chilli & Candied Garlic has been designed for real food lovers who want flavour without fire. It offers:
A balanced sweetness from the candied garlic
A crunchy texture that adds bite to any dish
A gentle heat that complements rather than overpowers
A vegan and gluten-free profile, perfect for all households
Use it to elevate your scrambled eggs, pizza, rice bowls, noodles, pasta, dumplings, or even sushi. It’s that versatile. Want to try it? Grab a jar now from our online shop.
