A beautifully balanced caramelised red onion relish from Filfla Chilli Co., Basli is inspired by Malta’s rich local flavours. Made with olive oil, brown sugar, sea salt, and smoked chilli flakes, all gently cooked in balsamic vinegar and malt, it delivers the perfect mix of sweetness, tang, and a subtle smokey heat.
Basli isn’t just a condiment, it’s a flavour enhancer that transforms any dish. Whether you’re drizzling it over grilled meats, stirring it into pasta, or spreading it onto sandwiches and burgers, it adds a rich depth that is mouth watering.
