I really love umami papi chilli oil. It’s not super hot but delicious. You can now get it at some Coles (in the deli section)
Edit: it’s made in Melbourne
Oh god I had no idea Melbourne Bushfoods was going into liquidation, how incredibly sad :(
I don't know if this is the exact thing you're looking for, but Ugly Foods Crunchy Chilli Oil is amazing.

I've only tried the standard one, I've only realised from that link that there's an extra spicy one!
Bagels and toast are my favourites. Otherwise I also use it in cooking - sticky roast pork with a bit of a kick.
Oh and glaze veggies (honey glaze potatoes and carrots but anything works here)
Try Olio Bello? They're from the Margaret River (WA) and all products are made on their grounds I believe. I bought a chilli oil from them a while back that was amazing. Hopefully they still sell it!
One jar of Unami Papi doesn't seem to last longer than 3 weeks in my household.
I think I better look for wholesale deals.
I will never buy a Made in China one after seeing Gutter Oil.
2 sisters’ kitchen does a spanking good chilli oil! They have a shop in Waverley I believe but you can find them at Kings Cross markets on Saturdays and Marrickville organic markets on Sundays. Bonus points cause it’s delicious but the two owners are some of the loveliest people you’ll ever meet
Try farmers market - there may be some stalls that sell condiments, that also make chilli oil?
Can’t think of anything Australia, for a non Australian made recommendation, we really like S&B’s La Yu chili oil. It comes in a small bottle, almost like a perfume and a little dispenser.
Geokoji sichuan chilli oil. This is THE best chilli oil me and my partner have had. Works with asian, italian, you name it this oil amplifies it to a 10/10 meal everytime.
They're located in Byron Bay but they've dropped off the map. We're down to our last 2 bottles and desperate for more.
I also make from home and love that it’s so simple but so tasty, and you can alter to suit what you like.
OP if you’re willing to give it a go, could try https://youtu.be/omuoTY3T16w?si=yE8DuUNLirrEKIHs or there are plenty of other styles on YouTube

This, I have some and I bought it from the meat emporium in Alexandria. It’s amazing.
Umami Papi somehow manages to taste like it has chicken salt in it ... and I bloody love that about it.
I've been eating Mama Liu's, they're Sydney based.
Seconding mama liu’s

I was going to suggest that one. It's my crack, so good on anything.
To be fair, all oil should be liquidated
Ugly food also does amazing chilli honey !! They’re a bit pricy but so worth it- a little goes a long way !!
Thanks for the tip - I'll try it! What do you mostly use it with, eg on toast or in recipes?

Oh that sounds amazing. If they've got it in our IGA I'll grab some.
Chotto motto is really good. https://chillibom.com.au/products/chotto-motto-crispy-chilli-oil-200ml
Seconded.
+1 on this. I’ve also found an extra spicy version at Thai Kee IGA in Haymarket.

Mr Cs chilli oil is banging and seriously spicy
Six-Eyed Scorpion is delicious! The extra spicy one is great.
UmammiPapi is very nice and different - as you'd expect from the name extremely savoury
Honestly I mix the Sichuan chilli oil they sell at harris farm with crispy chilli Lao Gan Ma. It's damn good to my tastes
Piña Potts Point chilli oil - the best / made in house

Poopadoodle chilli oil is amazing! So crispy and fragrant, Sydney based. https://www.instagram.com/itspoopadoodle
Find a canva employee and ask them to get you some from their in house chef. Soooo goood.
My husband makes really awesome ones and I often said he should bottle them. Sorry can’t be more of a help lol.
I also make from home and love that it’s so simple but so tasty, and you can alter to suit what you like. OP if you’re willing to give it a go, could try https://youtu.be/omuoTY3T16w?si=yE8DuUNLirrEKIHs or there are plenty of other styles on YouTube
Umami Papi. You’re welcome.
