Lao Gan Ma Crispy Chili Oil

Lao Gan Ma, which translates to 'Old Godmother', is a globally recognized brand of chili sauce produced in China. The brand was founded in 1997 by Tao Huabi, who originally developed the recipe to serve with noodles in her small restaurant in Guiyang, Guizhou province. The brand became an cultural phenomenon due to its distinctive flavor profile and the iconic portrait of its founder on every jar.

All Lao Gan Ma products are primarily manufactured in the company's massive production facilities in Guizhou, China. Despite its immense global reach, the brand remains privately owned by the family of the founder. It is celebrated for its authentic taste and has grown from a local Chinese condiment to a staple in international kitchens, distributed worldwide through various third-party retail partners and local subsidiaries depending on the region.
