A great Taste Award-winning South African chilli oil made in small batches from locally grown Bird's Eye chillies in non-GMO canola oil, vegan, Halaal and Kosher certified. After infusion, the chillies are drained and the oil passed through a 16-stage filtration process to produce a crystal-clear, rosy-hued oil with a perfectly calibrated heat. The result is a chilli oil that enhances rather than overpowers, bringing a clean.

Banhoek Chilli Oil is a versatile cooking oil, available at Saporia. Banhoek Chilli Oil is a Great Taste award-winning, beautifully clear chilli-infused canola oil born out of a simple ambition: to create the most perfectly balanced chilli oil imaginable. It is part of our cooking oils collection, chosen for quality and flavour.
The right oil can transform a dish, and Banhoek Chilli Oil brings both flavour and versatility to the kitchen. Chosen for its purity and carefully pressed to retain its natural character, it is the kind of store-cupboard staple that earns its place in everything from weekday cooking to weekend entertaining. Made in the heart of South Africa's Cape Winelands, it starts with premium non-GMO canola oil harvested from the Overberg district of the Western Cape, cold-pressed from golden fields an hour from Cape Town. Into this neutral, clean base go locally grown Bird's Eye chillies from the Banhoek Valley, sun-dried, hand-crushed, and gently infused using induction heating, a precisely controlled method that ensures even, consistent extraction that open flame or conventional methods simply cannot replicate. It is suitable for vegans, making it an easy choice for a wide range of diets.
Banhoek Chilli Oil is a true all-rounder: use it for sautéing and roasting, whisk it into dressings and marinades, or finish dishes with a glossy drizzle. It pairs well with the rest of our cooking oils for even more variety in the kitchen. After infusion, the chillies are drained and the oil passed through a 16-stage filtration process to produce a crystal-clear, rosy-hued oil with a perfectly calibrated heat. The brand was founded by brothers-in-law Ken Kinsey-Quick and Adi Meintjes over Sunday family lunches, following more than 60 experimental batches before they were satisfied with the result.
Banhoek Chilli Oil is one of the carefully selected brands in the Saporia range, chosen for its commitment to quality, flavour and honest ingredients. Whether you are discovering Banhoek Chilli Oil for the first time or stocking up on a firm favourite, Banhoek Chilli Oil is a brilliant example of what the brand does best.

Banhoek Chilli Oil is wonderfully versatile. Use it for everyday cooking, roasting and baking, or as a finishing drizzle where its flavour can really shine. Check the label for any specific guidance on heat suitability for this particular oil.
Most plant oils are naturally free from cholesterol and rich in unsaturated fats. Cold-pressed varieties retain more of their natural flavour and nutrients, making them a great choice for dressings and finishing.
Cold-pressed means the oil has been extracted mechanically without heat or chemical solvents. This gentle process preserves more of the oil's natural flavour, aroma and nutritional qualities.
Different oils have different smoke points, so it is worth checking the label. As a rule, refined oils handle higher heat, while cold-pressed and unrefined oils are best kept for moderate cooking, dressings and finishing.
