Why It’s On Our Shelves
Norfolk Larder Chilli Jam combines sweetness, tang and warming chilli heat to create one of those wonderfully versatile jars that can quickly become a permanent fixture in the fridge.
Rich and sticky with a satisfying chilli kick, it delivers heat without allowing the chilli to overwhelm everything else. The sweetness balances the spice, while a gentle acidity keeps the flavour bright and makes it particularly good with rich foods.
Spoon it alongside cheese, add it to a burger or sandwich, glaze meat with it or simply use it as a dip. This is far more than something to put on a cheeseboard – it's a brilliantly useful ingredient to have within reach whenever food needs a little extra flavour.
Perfect Pairings
- Mature Cheddar and strong British cheeses
- Brie and Camembert
- Goat's cheese
- Pork pies and sausage rolls
- Burgers and grilled meats
- Chicken and pork
- Charcuterie and cold meats
- Spring rolls and Asian-inspired dishes
Ideal Uses
- Serve alongside cheese and charcuterie
- Add to burgers and sandwiches

- Spoon onto grilled chicken or pork

- Stir into stir-fries and noodles
- Add to marinades and sauces
- Spoon onto pizza or flatbreads
- Mix with mayonnaise for a quick sweet chilli dressing
A little can completely transform something as simple as a cheese sandwich – although there's nothing to stop you being rather more generous.

Why We Stock It
A good chilli jam shouldn't simply be about seeing how much heat you can squeeze into a jar.
What makes chilli jam useful is balance – enough sweetness to make it sticky and moreish, enough acidity to keep it lively and enough chilli to provide a satisfying warmth.
That's what makes this such a useful deli staple. Cheese, sausage rolls, burgers, sandwiches, grilled meats – there aren't many savoury situations that aren't improved by having a jar of chilli jam somewhere nearby.
