Funkee Foods sauces last up to 3 months in the fridge (that’s if it lasts that long)

No, as it is a sauce that is made with all natural preservatives and no added colouring, and therefore must be kept in the fridge before and after opening.

No, but it does contain cloves. Refer to the allergen list on the bottles.

I did catering for over 15 years. Prior to that, my mum had a restaurant back in West Africa that I helped out throughout most of my teenage years. This is where most of my catering ideas came from, which is how I managed to gain the experience that I have today to run this successful, tasty food business.

Apple & Mint Chilli Oil is rated 4 out of 5 for heat — serious scotch bonnet heat that builds slowly over 20–30 seconds. The mint creates a brief cooling sensation that actually makes the scotch bonnet feel more intense when it arrives. Start with a small drizzle if you are new to scotch bonnet heat, and wait a moment before adding more.

Apple & Mint Chilli Oil opens with sweet, tropical fruitiness from rescued apples, followed by a cooling freshness from real mint. Beneath both, natural hickory smoke and paprika add a warm, smoky depth that gives the oil its distinctive light brown colour. Lemon and lime add citrus brightness, then slow-building scotch bonnet heat arrives. Customers describe it as 'surprisingly fresh' and 'different but delicious.'

Apple & Mint Chilli Oil pairs exceptionally well with roast lamb — the mint is a classic complement to lamb, while the apple and hickory smoke add natural sweetness and depth.

Apple & Mint Chilli Oil is stored in a cool, dry cupboard — before and after opening. Unlike Funkee Foods' refrigerated hot sauces, the chilli oils are infused and do not require refrigeration.

Classic BBQ Chilli Oil opens with a warm, natural hickory smokiness — genuine woodsmoke from hickory smoked powder and hickory smoked pepper, not artificial smoke flavouring.

Customers describe it as having 'a smoky, different taste that I love.'

Classic Garlic & Black Pepper Chilli Oil is rated 4 out of 5 for heat. The scotch bonnet peppers build gradually over 20–30 seconds, layering on top of the black pepper's immediate dry bite to create a compounding heat. The sweetness in the base provides brief balance before the warmth settles in for a long finish. Start with a small drizzle if new to scotch bonnet heat.

Classic BBQ Chilli Oil is rated 3 out of 5 for heat — a medium level that most palates can enjoy without discomfort. The scotch bonnet peppers deliver a slow-building warmth over around 15–20 seconds. The natural hickory smoke rounds the edges of the heat, making it feel more approachable than a straight scotch bonnet product at the same level.

It opens with a surprising sweet, almost tropical warmth, then bold garlic takes hold. Black pepper adds a dry, peppery sharpness. Thyme and a hint of natural hickory give savoury herbal depth. Then slow-building scotch bonnet heat arrives. Customers consistently react: 'Wow! Just wow!' — the combination is familiar enough to be comforting but distinctive enough to be genuinely surprising

Forest Mushroom & Rosemary Chilli Oil is rated 5 out of 5 for heat — the hottest product in the Funkee Foods range.

The earthy mushroom and warm spice base provides a rich opening before the heat takes hold. This is an oil for confident heat lovers.

It opens with deep, umami-rich forest mushroom earthiness — a flavour profile genuinely unlike any other UK chilli oil.
