Angel Hair Chilli

Angel hair chilli is one of the more visually arresting dried chillies you can buy. These impossibly fine, thread-like strands are cut from whole Capsicum annuum peppers after harvest and sun-dried to preserve their vivid colour and concentrated flavour. At 5/10 on the Scoville scale (roughly 30,000 SHU), they sit comfortably above Espelette pepper but well below bird's eye — enough heat to make their presence known without overwhelming a dish.

The strands work across a wide range of cooking. They bring warmth and colour to soups, stews, sauces and terrines, lift a simple salad, and make a striking garnish for finished plates. They're particularly good fried briefly in oil with prawns, garlic and spring onion, or crumbled over noodles and rice dishes. A small pinch goes a long way.

Producer: Terre Exotique, a French spice house founded on a pepper plantation in Cameroon. The company sources directly from growers worldwide and processes at its facility in France, maintaining close relationships with producers to ensure traceability and quality across its range.

Storage: Ambient. Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight.

Net: 10g

Note: The image displayed is only a small fraction of the number of Chilli strands inside the pot.

Order Cut-Off Times & Delivery Date Selection

Orders placed before 2 PM (Monday to Friday) are dispatched the same day, unless you select a future delivery date at checkout.

Our Delivery Service

We use reliable third-party express courier services and high-quality insulated packaging. While our couriers are generally excellent, occasional delays can happen. We pack everything to stay fresh, even if transit takes a little longer.

Time-Sensitive & Event Orders

Can we guarantee delivery on a specific day? Unfortunately not - we rely on third-party couriers and can't control their schedules. All items leave us in perfect condition with good use-by dates, but final timing depends on the courier.

If your order is for a specific event, let us know in the notes section at checkout. We can often dispatch a day earlier to give you the best chance of timely arrival.

DELIVERY Changes After Dispatch

Once dispatched, your package is with the courier and we're unable to redirect it or change delivery details.

Saturday Delivery

Saturday delivery is available, though please note our couriers don't operate phone support at weekends and our office is closed. For event-critical orders, a weekday delivery gives us more flexibility to help if any issues arise.
