Achilles Heat

Wait… Achilles Heat® Smoked Chili Crisp is in Inc.?! 🌶️📰🤓

Definitely wasn’t expecting to stumble across this today! So incredibly excited to see Achilles Heat® mentioned alongside industry names like Carbone and Fly By Jing in a story exploring the new wave of global flavors and all the different ways chili crisp is being reimagined.

Especially wonderful to see Achilles Heat called out as “a less-spicy version made with smoked peppers.” We’ve always been about flavor-forward heat, using smoked peppers to build layers of smoky, savory depth rather than simply making things hotter.

A huge thank you to Jennifer Conrad and Inc. Magazine for including Achilles Heat, and to the Specialty Food Association for giving emerging brands like mine a platform through the Debut District at this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show.

There’s more than one way to chili crisp, and we’re pretty excited to be part of where it’s going. 🌶️

Find Achilles Heat Smoked Chili Crisp at The Fulton Stall Market!

Lower Manhattan moves fast, and then there is one storefront where the pace drops and the groceries come straight off New York farms.

Girl dinners are pretty all right with some Achilles Heat® smoked chili crisp, goat cheese, prosciutto, and tiny toasts.

📍 BOERUM HILL, BROOKLYN!

Very excited to announce that Achilles Heat® Smoked Chili Crisp is now on the shelves at Shelsky’s of Brooklyn! 🔥

Shelsky’s is a Brooklyn destination for Jewish appetizing and delicatessen, with incredible smoked and cured fish, bagels and bialys, schmears, herring, caviar, sweets and a great selection of specialty grocery finds.

Which makes us especially excited to see our award-winning Smoked Chili Crisp joining the lineup.

Smoke-forward, deeply umami and loaded with crispy garlic and shallot, our chili crisp is built to be used as both a condiment and an ingredient. And there are A LOT of things at Shelsky’s we want to put it on.

🔥 Smoked salmon or whitefish on a bagel or bialy
🔥 Cream cheese and a generous spoonful of chili crisp for an Achilles Heat Schmear
🔥 Eggs and pastrami
🔥 Latkes
🔥 Kippered salmon for a little smoke-on-smoke action
🔥 Or whatever combination you dream up at the counter

Stop by Shelsky’s on Court Street in Boerum Hill, grab a jar and tell us what you pair it with.

And this is just the beginning… 👀🥪

📣 🥯 + 🌶️ = something special coming next month.

We’ve got a Shelsky’s × Achilles Heat sandwich collaboration in the works, so stay tuned! 🔥
