Meet the Makers of KariKari

Ruby Sparks & Rob Griset

How They Started It:

KariKari started in Seattle in 2018 as a very small, very crunchy idea. We became completely obsessed with getting the texture and layers of flavor just right — giant crispy garlic, shallots, peanuts, and chilis, all packed into a rich, savory oil.

Somewhere along the way, it stopped feeling like a little project and started feeling like our thing. Now it’s basically our whole lives — in the best possible way.

People Are Always Surprised to Learn: 

That every jar is still hand-made here in Seattle. We fry, build, and pack KariKari in small batches so we can get that signature crunchy-spicy-garlicky magic just right.

It's Special Because:

There’s no mistaking that CRUNCH.

What to Try Next:

The BIG jar (16oz) — more crunchy-spicy-garlicky magic to go around!

Anything Else to Know:

We’re pretty convinced most food could use more CRUNCH. Have a jar on the table, put it on everything, and try it on something unexpected — vanilla ice cream included.
