The Mala Market is America's source for premium Sichuan ingredients
At harvest time each year, we import several varieties of top-grade Sichuan pepper and Chinese chili peppers, and we are the exclusive importers of Sichuan's most esteemed brands of Pixian chile bean paste and handmade soy sauce
Direct sourcing from renowned Chinese factories and farms ensures authenticity, safety and freshness
Ma (the numbing of Sichuan pepper) + la (the heat of chili pepper) = mala (the defining taste of Sichuan food)
