Flavors That Hit Different

Hella Foods, originally known as Hella Herbivore, began as a small pop-up concept in Denver focused on sharing the bold, nostalgic flavors of Southeast Asia through handcrafted condiments. What started as a passion project evolved into a growing brand with a loyal following, thanks to its commitment to flavor, quality, and authenticity.

​

Founder Kris Cariño set out to create products that elevate everyday meals — sauces and crisps that bring depth, heat, and texture in every spoonful. The company quickly became known for three signature offerings:

​

• Garlic Crisp – crunchy, savory, and addictively aromatic

• Chili Oil – balanced, bold, and rich with layers of spice

• Szechuan Oil – uniquely tingly, complex, and perfect for adventurous palates

Hella Foods continues to grow through local markets, online sales, and word-of-mouth — building a brand rooted in culture, community, and undeniable flavor.
