There's a moment in every cook's journey when you discover an ingredient that changes everything. For countless food lovers across New Zealand, that moment arrives with the first spoonful of Mary Magdalene Crispy Chilli Oil.
This isn't your ordinary chilli oil. It's what happens when Apostle (New Zealand's finest artisan condiment makers) take the time-honoured tradition of Asian chilli crisp and craft it into something uniquely Kiwi. Each jar is a carefully orchestrated blend of toasted spices, crunchy fried onion and garlic and those irresistible crispy chilli flakes that make every bite utterly addictive.
Transform the Everyday into the Extraordinary
Imagine elevating your weeknight stir-fry from ho-hum to 'I can't stop eating this' with just a generous spoonful. Your morning eggs will be singing with layers of umami depth and gentle heat.
The beauty lies in those crispy bits suspended in aromatic oil. While the oil carries waves of complex, toasted spice flavour, it's the crunchy texture that makes this condiment genuinely addictive. Every spoonful delivers that satisfying contrast: silky oil meeting crispy, flavour-packed morsels that cling to noodles, coat rice and transform steamed vegetables into the 5+ a day you just can't enough of.
Your Secret Weapon for Flavour
Whether you're drizzling it over dumplings, swirling it through soup, spooning it onto pizza (trust us) or using it to give your roasted vegetables that little je ne sais quoi, this chilli oil works harder than almost anything else in your kitchen. It's the condiment that makes you look like you've spent hours developing flavour when you've simply reached for the right jar.
The 250ml size means you'll have plenty for experimenting too. Once you discover how it transforms everything from avocado toast to grilled fish, you'll find yourself reaching for it on the daily.
Crafted in New Zealand, Inspired by Tradition
Apostle brings the same dedication to their condiments that you bring to your cooking. Each batch is made with quality ingredients and the kind of attention to detail that separates the good from the unforgettable. It's the difference you can taste.
How to use: Spoon generously over rice, noodles, soups, dumplings, steamed or roasted vegetables, eggs, pizza, or anywhere you want a hit of umami-rich, textured heat. Don't be shy with those crispy bits either (cos they're the best part).

The Apostle story began when Lydia and Mat, moved to Paekākāriki in 2018. Mat had been experimenting with sauces, ferments and spice mixes for years, so in an effort to connect with their new community they started selling Mat’s homemade creations at the village market.
Encouraged by an overwhelmingly positive response, they turned their hobby into a business at the end of 2019. Combining Mat’s love of crafting unique sauces with Lydia’s background in graphic design, Apostle was launched.
Using high-quality ingredients like organic apple cider vinegar and cold-pressed, New Zealand rapeseed oil or locally grown chillies and Kawakawa from their garden. Flavours are inspired by the wonderfully diverse culinary landscape of Aotearoa. A melting pot of different cultures and styles of cuisine, blending the very best of local flavours to make every dish one to enjoy.
Drawing on Roman Catholic artwork, Greek Orthodox iconography, Irish illuminated manuscripts and Tarot de Marseille for inspiration, each label is designed to be a miniature work of art, hand-drawn by the remarkably talented Juju. Today, Apostle operates from a dedicated commercial kitchen space, still based on the Kāpiti Coast as a team of three.
The range has expanded to include other sacred sides such as hot honey, chilli oil and kimchi ketchup and is now stocked in more than 200 stores across New Zealand, Australia, Japan and the UK.
But the core focus remains the same: creating small-batch, lovingly crafted products that bring joy to your meals.
