Frequently Asked Questions
How hot is it?
Heat varies by product — see the heat level indicator on each product page. Jalapeño is our mildest (1/5), Habanero is the hottest (5/5). If you're unsure where to start, the Jalapeño is the gateway product most fans love.
How long does it last?
Each jar has a 12-month shelf life when unopened. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and use within 3 months for best quality. Though honestly, most people finish a jar in a couple of weeks.
Is it vegan?
Yes! Don Chilio chili crisps and salsa machas are 100% vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and made with no artificial preservatives. Just real ingredients: peppers, olive oil, garlic, seeds, and sea salt.
What's the difference between chili crisp and salsa macha?
Chili crisp uses fresh peppers crisped in oil with seeds and garlic — it's crunchy and bright. Salsa macha uses dried chiles and nuts, giving it a deeper, smokier, nuttier flavor. Both are oil-based Mexican condiments. We make both — try them side by side.
