Spicy Dish Lifter

Big flavour. Less effort. A warming chilli kick.

UmamiBee Spicy Dish Lifter is a versatile umami cooking paste made in New Zealand to bring rich, savoury depth and warming heat to everyday meals.

We take our time so you can save yours.

Slowly roasted garlic, onion and tomato come together with traditionally fermented ingredients, chilli and carefully balanced seasonings to build layers of savoury flavour.

That slow flavour building work is already in the jar, ready for your next meal.

Filipino roots. A place in every kitchen.

Inspired by the Filipino tradition of building flavour, Spicy Dish Lifter goes well beyond Filipino food. Use it across cuisines and in any recipe that needs a savoury boost with a little heat, from familiar Kiwi favourites to pasta, stir fries and your own kitchen creations.

Make your everyday favourites even tastier.

• Mix into mince or plant based mince for sausage rolls, meat pies, burgers and meatballs.
• Stir through pasta sauces, fried rice and noodles.
• Add depth and warmth to soups, stews, casseroles and gravy.
• Use in marinades for chicken, meat, tofu or vegetables.
• Spread a little on toast, sandwiches or crackers.
• Serve alongside cheese or vegan cheese and your favourite cheeseboard accompaniments.

Use it your way.

Add it at the beginning to build a flavour base, mix it through while cooking, or stir it into a finished dish for extra savoury depth and heat. You can also enjoy it straight from the jar as a spread.

Start with a little, taste and adjust to suit your recipe.

Made in small batches in New Zealand.

For everyone who loves good food but wants to enjoy more in life.

Vegan friendly.

Your recipes. Your cuisine. Your way.

Spoon it in. Stir it through. Spread it on.
