Our Story
Welcome to The Chilli Tribe
We’re a family-owned business run by husband-and-wife team Steve and Claire, based on the beautiful Sunshine Coast.
Steve discovered his love of cooking at a young age and followed that passion to TAFE, qualifying as a chef in 2001. Since then, he has worked in restaurants across the Sunshine Coast and the United Kingdom, developing his skills and exploring a wide range of cuisines and flavour profiles.
A passion for bold flavours naturally led Steve into the world of chillies. What began as experimenting in the family kitchen soon grew into something much bigger, with The Chilli Tribe launching in 2017. Over the years, the business has evolved into a true family venture, with Claire and their three daughters all playing a part alongside Steve.
Steve works closely with a chilli grower in Bundaberg, a region known for its ideal chilli-growing conditions. This partnership provides access to an incredible variety of chillies, each offering unique heat levels and flavour characteristics.
Every product you purchase is handcrafted by Steve, ensuring consistency, quality, and attention to detail in every batch. His focus has always been on creating sauces with real depth of flavour — balancing heat carefully so you can still experience every ingredient, while giving chilli lovers the challenge they crave from the superhot range.
At The Chilli Tribe, we want every bottle to take you on a flavour journey. Our range is designed for everyone — from the chilli-curious to the chilli-obsessed — and with Steve constantly experimenting and developing new combinations, there’s always something exciting on the horizon.
Thank you for being part of our chilli journey. Your support truly means the world to us.
