The Complete Ottolenghi Range at The Gourmet Pantry

By Emily Patrikakos· 1 November 2025

Pestos, sauces, marinades, spice tins, dressings and snacks: the whole Ottolenghi range in one place, with the size and price of every jar, what each one is for, and which to buy first.

The Ottolenghi range at The Gourmet Pantry splits seven ways: pestos and pastes, sauces, marinades, spice tins, dressings, preserves and snacks, plus cookbooks, gift sets and FEAST tableware. Every jar, bottle and tin we stock is below with size, price and job.

Two things before a first order. Nearly all of it arrives wet; the only dry things are the three spice tins, so one jar and one tin covers more dinners than two jars. The 350g sauces are the only things in the Ottolenghi range built to feed four; the rest is condiment, finishing spoon or marinade.

Yotam Ottolenghi is the London chef whose delis and cookbooks put roasted vegetables and preserved lemon into ordinary kitchens. Each jar collapses what you would otherwise buy, toast, grind and blend into one spoon: not cheaper than doing it yourself, but the difference between cooking it on a Tuesday and not.

Pestos and pastes

Six jars, one shape, one spoon. Ottolenghi Miso Pesto is the one most people take home first; our miso guide covers substitutions.

Jar	Size, price and what it does
Ottolenghi Miso Pesto	170g, $12.95. A pesto first: the bright, nutty classic, with sweet caramelised onion and miso underneath for depth.
Calabrian Chilli & Tomato Pesto	170g, $12.95. Tomato led, warm rather than fierce. Pasta in the time the water boils, or a prawn linguine.
Green Harissa	170g, $15.95. Herb led and fresh, not fiery. Eggs, white fish, roast vegetables.
Rose, Pomegranate & Preserved Lemon Harissa	170g, $15.95. Bright and tangy, not hot. Tray-baked chicken, pasta, shakshuka. how the harissa styles differ and what preserved lemon does.
Hawaij Paste	170g, $15.95. Warm Yemeni spicing: ginger, cardamom, turmeric. Soups, chicken, pulses. Read what hawaij is.
Pilpelchuma	180g, $15.95. Libyan garlic and chilli paste: garlic first, then building heat. How to use it.

Sauces: the pourable half

Three of these five are finishing sauces, spooned over cooked food. The two 350g jars behave like passata with the seasoning done.

Jar	Size, price and what it does
Kalamata Olive & Harissa Sauce	350g, $14.95. Tomato and kalamata olive with harissa through it. Pasta for four, or olive and harissa pasta.
Roasted Aubergine & Tomato Sauce	350g, $14.95. Sized for a meal: baked eggs, or an aubergine lasagne.
Chilli Sauce	170g, $15.95. Fermented chilli, funky rather than hot. A table sauce.
Green Chilli Shatta	170g, $16.95. Green chilli in oil, sharp and salty. What shatta is.
Sticky Date & Tamarind Sauce	180g, $15.95. Dates for sweetness, tamarind for sour. It goes on late.

Marinades: five jars, two price tiers

The shawarma jar is 180g at $12.95, the other four 260g to 270g at $22.95. That gap is format, not quality: the larger jars brush on and thin into a dressing, so one covers marinade, glaze and sauce.

Jar	Size, price and what it does
Shawarma Marinade	180g, $12.95. The cheapest way in. Chicken thighs, lamb, cauliflower steaks.
Yuzu, Ginger & Miso Marinade	270g, $22.95. Sweet, salty and citrus sharp. Salmon, prawns, beans. Nine things to brush it on.
Preserved Lemon Marinade	260g, $22.95. Salty and bright, no heat, ready to eat straight from the jar. What to do with it, or a barbecued whole snapper.
Smokey Honey Marinade	270g, $22.95. Caraway, chipotle and smoked paprika. How it behaves over coals.
Black Garlic & Scotch Bonnet Marinade	270g, $22.95. Sweet aged garlic first, a genuinely hot chilli second. Nine ways to use it.

Spice tins: the only dry things on the shelf

Three tins, all $12.95. Two hold 50g, the chilli tin 40g: it goes on by the pinch at the end, the other two by the teaspoon before the heat. Our guide to the three tins takes each apart.

Tin	Size, price and what it does
Aleppo & Other Chillies	40g, $12.95. Fruity coarse flakes, mild, late heat. Scatter on finished food.
Citrus & Spice	50g, $12.95. Dried citrus peel over savoury spice. Lemon you can apply before roasting.
Sweet & Smokey	50g, $12.95. Paprika led, smoky and faintly sweet. Cheese on toast, wedges, corn, popcorn.

Dressings, preserves and things to serve with a drink

The tail of the range needs no cooking at all.

Honey Mustard Dressing, 250ml, $24.95. Shake and pour. It carries a warm potato salad as well as leaves.
Orange Marmalade Dressing, 250ml, $24.95. Orange and aleppo chilli over olive oil. Bitter leaves, fennel, beetroot.
Apricot & Passionfruit Preserve, 225g, $15.95. A breakfast preserve with the acidity to sit next to cheese.

Rosemary Spiced Nuts, 110g, $14.95. Rosemary and salt, for a glass of something dry.

Cookbooks, gift sets, and the only way to get the grater

Four cookbooks sit with the jars: SIMPLE and FLAVOUR at $60, COMFORT at $65 and Ottolenghi Test Kitchen: Shelf Love at $49.99. They are the reason the pantry range exists, and the answer when someone already owns every jar.

The gift sets earn a second look for one reason: the Ottolenghi grater is not sold on its own here, so the sets are the only way to get one. The Grater & Pantry Gift Set pairs it with pantry jars at $99.95, and the COMFORT set and the SIMPLE set add the book at $199.95. If you would rather someone else did the choosing, the Ottolenghi hampers are built from the same range.

The homewares sit apart: FEAST plates, bowls and serving dishes, tote bags at $44.95, mini totes and tea towels from $29.95, all on the Ottolenghi homewares and textiles page.

Questions we get asked about the Ottolenghi range

Where can I buy Ottolenghi products in Australia?

From us, online, shipped Australia wide. The pantry range, the cookbooks, the gift sets and the FEAST homewares are in one place here, and shipping is free on orders over $100. Orders placed before 12pm on a weekday are dispatched the same day from our Corio, VIC warehouse, tracked with Australia Post.

Which Ottolenghi jar should I buy first?

Miso pesto for the widest use at the lowest price, green harissa if you cook a lot of vegetables, the shawarma marinade if you mostly cook meat, and a spice tin alongside whichever you pick. Buying two wet jars at once is the common first mistake.

Are the Ottolenghi sauces spicy?

Most are not. The rose harissa is floral and sour, the preserved lemon marinade has no heat, and the citrus and spice tin is bright rather than hot. The hot end of the shelf is short: the chilli sauce, the green chilli shatta, the pilpelchuma and the black garlic and scotch bonnet marinade. The Calabrian chilli pesto sits below all four, warm rather than fierce.

What is the difference between the sauces and the marinades?

Timing. The marinades go on before the heat and the sauces go on after, which is why the marinade jars are looser. Two of them cross over: both the preserved lemon and the yuzu jars thin into a dressing, and the preserved lemon jar is ready to eat straight from the jar.

How long does a jar keep once it is open?

Go by the label, since the wet jars differ, and refrigerate them with any oil left sitting on top. Ground spice fades rather than spoils, so finish a tin within a year and keep it out of the light.

Where to start

Buy one wet jar and one tin, and cook them out before adding a third. For most kitchens that is the miso pesto and a tin of sweet and smokey, a $25.90 way to find out whether this cooking suits you. The whole shelf sits in the Ottolenghi range, and for the festive version start with our Christmas hampers.
