About Us

Matt and Isa are a couple of creatives living and working in Melbourne. Matt is a writer and film lecturer at the Victorian College of the Arts. Isa is a dance teacher and performer as well as an Allied Health Assistant. Their shared interests include chilli, oil and chilli oil.

Together, they started The Brunswick Burn in 2021 after Isa’s ambition to build a side-hustle combined with Matt’s hobby of buying spices at the Vic Market and not yet knowing what to do with them. Over the years since, they have personally cooked, jarred and labelled over 2,000 jars of spicy goodness.

Their goal was and has always remained simple. Make the tastiest, most accessible chilli oil to improve as many breakfasts, lunches and dinners as possible!

As such, The Brunswick Burn is vegan, soy-free, gluten-free and made with GMO-Free, 100% Australian Canola Oil. It’s also batch-made, with fresh ingredients, by hand, every time. 

For the label, Isa and Matt employed the services of their friend and fellow creative, Mete Erdogan - an artist and designer with so many accolades we can’t list them all here. Inspired by the pub and football club signage of Melbourne, Matt provided Mete with an incredibly detailed preliminary sketch (pictured below) which Mete improved on slightly for the final label.

To all our spicy friends who have a spot in their kitchens for The Brunswick Burn, thanks for your support!
