The Spark
Ember & Co. was born from a simple observation: Chili crisp is a timeless staple—but many modern versions had lost their way. Too often, jars on the shelf are weighed down by inflammatory seed oils, excessive sodium, and gritty fillers that mask the true flavor of the pepper. They deliver heat, but not harmony.
We didn’t want to make just another condiment. We set out to create a culinary reduction—stripping away the excess to reveal what truly matters.
Born in Texas—a place that understands heat—we honor the origins of chili oil while reimagining it for the mindful, modern palate. By removing the noise, we found the signal:
Heat. Texture. Purity.
Redefining the Foundation
Great flavor should never come with compromise.
That’s why we broke from the industry standard and replaced cheap soybean and canola oils with 100% pure avocado oil—chosen for its clean finish, heart-healthy profile, and ability to carry flavor without overpowering it.
Where others bulk up their jars with heavy garlic and onion bits, we take a chef-grade approach rooted in infusion and extraction.
Our oil is slow-simmered with a curated blend of fresh aromatics and warm spices to extract deep, savory complexity—then carefully strained. This labor-intensive process leaves behind a liquid gold that’s rich in flavor yet clean in texture.
No grit.
No sludge.
Just the pure crunch of hand-selected chilies and a clean, balanced finish.
Years of Craft
Perfecting clean heat takes patience.
We spent years refining our process in small batches, guided by a simple philosophy: when you remove fillers, there’s nowhere to hide. Quality becomes everything.
Whether it’s the velvety dust of our Signature Powders, the rustic crunch of our Chili Flakes, or the layered depth of our Artisan Crisps, the standard never changes:
- The Oil: Always avocado—clean, neutral, and intentional
- The Spice: Sourced for flavor first, heat second
- The Finish: Clean, lingering, and never greasy
This is heat with restraint. Flavor with purpose.
SMALL BATCH. BIG SOUL.
Every jar of Ember & Co. is handcrafted in Fort Worth, Texas.
We reject industrial shortcuts in favor of time, patience, and precision. Because while speed can create heat, only craftsmanship creates character.
We exist for home cooks who plate with intention, for flavor seekers who read ingredient labels, and for anyone who believes the finishing touch should be the best part of the meal.
