Emberelle Foods / Nagaland

Our origin / Nagaland, India

Fire from the hillsof Northeast India.

Emberelle begins in Nagaland, a state of steep ridges and cloud forest on India's border with Myanmar, where the king chilli has long been part of everyday cooking.

Place is partof the flavour.

Nagaland sits where the eastern Himalaya folds into the Naga Hills, along India's border with Myanmar. Ridges climb from the Brahmaputra plains to more than 3,800 metres at Mount Saramati, and the monsoon shapes every farming year.

That landscape is where our story starts. For every order, origin travels with the lot and its documents, so you can check it rather than take it on trust.

Field to market

A chilli witha home.

The Naga king chilli grows on terraced and hillside plots and moves through local markets long before it reaches a jar. These photographs give a sense of that landscape.

Provenance

Origin youcan check.

Beautiful landscapes prove nothing on their own. For every order, origin is part of the paperwork: the lot, its grade and the documents agreed for your destination.

District, supplier, farm and harvest details are shared when they can be verified and are appropriate to disclose. If a detail is not documented, we do not claim it.
