A Chilli Market with Spiced Sussex

Since 1707, Fortnum & Mason has championed the exceptional work and time-honoured making methods of talented artisans around the world.Earlier this year, we added a new chapter to that storied history, by launching a search for the UK & Ireland’s very best new and undiscovered food and drink producers.

And now, after an impossibly competitive and very delicious judging process, we’re delighted to introduce the winners of our first Open Call – each of which will soon be found on the shelves at Fortnum's.

About Spiced Sussex:

We are proud to work with one of our Fortnum & Makers, Spiced Sussex. They're an artisan chilli condiment business based in the heart of Brighton called Spiced Sussex. They roast and smoke everything with live fire using sustainably sourced local wood. They’re all about flavour over crazy, chilli heat and have current Great Taste awards for all of our products. They’re the only condiment company that solely roasts with wood, so a different spin to other businesses offering condiments.

High quality ingredients and provenance are key to their products, they use very few ingredients with no artificial additives, their products have few carefully selected ingredients. The Finishing Salt Contains 3, Infused Oil 4 and Hot Sauce 11.

About this session:

This isn’t just a tasting — it’s a full flavour experience.
