Blak Ember Sauce is a delicate yet ferocious tomato and habanero chilli sauce. A sweetness from fresh tomatoes lends itself to a wonderful savoury note from earthy curry spices, while a vinegary sharpness cuts through to bring balance and elegance. This is followed by an aggressive heat, holding those flavours together. As quickly as it arrives, the heat fades, leaving you with a slow-burning ember of flavour that lingers beautifully.

Born in the kitchen of a tiny West London flat during the Covid lockdowns, Matt Burgess, a London-based New Zealand Māori chef and food consultant, created Blak Ember Sauce to brighten up meals for local families who were isolating at home. His sauces became a way to bring comfort and excitement to home-cooked dishes during challenging times.

Now available on Todelli, the ethical marketplace supporting independent makers, Blak Ember Sauce reflects a commitment to bold flavours and sustainable craftsmanship. Enjoy this versatile sauce, knowing it carries a story of community, resilience, and ethical production.
