About Chilica

Founded in October 2007, TOMCARE began as a provider of nutritional supplements for aquaculture and achieved remarkable success in the field. In 2018, the company expanded into the food manufacturing industry, and by June 2020, it officially launched a brand-new product line named Chilica.

Made from 100% fresh chili peppers, naturally fermented and produced using modern technology, Chilica preserves the original flavor, aroma, and nutrients of fresh chilies – delivering a uniquely rich and aromatic taste that complements every family meal.

What makes Chilica special

  1. Unique Fermentation Technology – Preserving the Essence of Fresh Chili

Chilica uses a 12-month natural fermentation process with rice vinegar and no heat treatment. This method retains the natural color, distinctive aroma, spiciness, and nutritional value of fresh chili peppers.

  1. No Additives – No Preservatives

Chilica products contain no preservatives, artificial colors, flavorings, or industrial additives — a clear differentiator that sets them apart from other chili sauces on the market.

  1. Authentic Flavor – Global Taste

Chilica offers a naturally sweet and lingering heat, delivering the authentic taste of fermented chili that appeals to both local and international consumers. The products have achieved major export certifications including BRC, HALAL, HACCP, FDA (USA), and GACC (China).

  1. Aligned with the Global Green & Healthy Living Trend

Chilica is 100% vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO, catering to health-conscious consumers and those following vegetarian or macrobiotic lifestyles — a rapidly growing market segment worldwide.
