Dubai-based entrepreneur and culinary whizz Ahmad Obeid has created a delicious line of artisanal chilli oils and chilli crisps
Ahmad Obeid is the man you have to thank for Jinxy’s artisanal chilli oil and chilli crisp, a brand that was born and raised in Dubai.
The founder and chef has created some excellent culinary creations that promise to elevate your dishes. The brand currently has five delicious products in its portfolio and each one is meticulously handcrafted in the Co-Kitchens, the UAE’s first and only Dubai SME-certified food business incubator.
They also use the brand’s own chilli recipe that packs in ancho, guajillo and chipotle chillis, following a traditional Mexican salsa macha recipe.
Jinxy’s hot honey chilli oil, for example, blends floral wildflower honey with fragrant chilli peppers and Ahmad’s spicy signature chilli oil base to create the perfect sweet-meets-spicy condiment for everything from pizzas to barbecue fare and even ice cream.
The XXXCrispy, meanwhile, is Jinxy’s bestseller for good reason. Firstly, it goes with absolutely everything. each jar is packed to the brim with crispy shallots, sliced garlic, chillis and crunchy peanuts, then immersed in the brand’s artisan chilli oil to create the perfect union of texture and spicy umami.
