Onions
The flavour base
Grown for us by the same partner network, the onions give our sauce body, balance and a naturally rich foundation.

The partnership
Grown for the chili that thunders
Chili-Oa-Tunya buys its African Birds Eye chilies and onions from the Food Forest Foundation. Their network of 115 outgrowers puts local knowledge, local land and local livelihoods at the centre of every harvest.
The chilies bring the unmistakable heat. The onions build the rich base beneath it. Together, they help us make a sauce that is grown and made in Zambia.
From their fields
Two crops. One local story.
African Birds Eye chilies
The Zambian heat
Carefully grown, harvested and dried, these small red chilies deliver the bright, direct heat at the heart of Chili-Oa-Tunya.
Care at every step
Harvested and prepared by hand
From tending the plants to preparing the dried crop, people are at the centre of the process. That care travels with the chilies from the field to our kitchen.
Our shared promise
One carton. One tree.
For every carton of Chili-Oa-Tunya sold, we support the planting of one tree — growing more than ingredients for the future.
