True chili, or kamulali as it is commonly called in Uganda, is supposed to have a frightening effect. It has got to keep you focused when applying it such that you do not put too much in your food to render it too hot.

For a true lover of chili, this careful application is one of the beauties of the experience. It’s almost like unboxing a new phone—you move slowly, with a touch of caution and excitement, knowing exactly what’s at stake if you’re careless.

Newman’s UG Kamulali falls strictly in this category. Available both as a paste and a refined chili oil, we shall be focusing on the oil in this piece. With just a few drops, your food is instantly turned into a flavorful experience. You really need to ‘be in class’ while making the application because too much and you may be in ‘hot’ soup!

But there is more good news about taking kamulali. The secret lies in capsaicin—the natural organic compound that gives chili peppers their fiery heat. When plants make capsaicin, they actually produce it as a natural defense mechanism to stop mammals from eating their fruit.

Yet, over thousands of years, humans learned to use that very same “heat” compound to retrain our nervous system into turning off pain signals. So taking chili can actually help ease joint pains and inflammation—a benefit well recognized in modern medicine.

Beyond the heat, Newman’s UG Kamulali carries a story of purpose. It was their very first step in the agricultural value-addition story. Before this, they were exporting fresh chili peppers to Europe. But over time, they witnessed a major challenge. As farmers brought their produce to the warehouse after long journeys on unreliable transport, some of the peppers were rendered unfit for export.

It’s not that they were bad; they were simply unfit for export because of those rigid international standards.

It was here, in the midst of the farmers’ woes, that an idea was born: turning these fresh peppers into something valuable right at home. In this way, Newman’s eliminated wastage while bringing real joy to the farmers, who would now get full value for their hard work. UG Kamulali was born.

From that moment to today, Newman’s UG Kamulali has proven its place as the right condiment for any meal. It stands out as one of many products validating their core vision: turning Uganda’s agricultural abundance into global excellence.

There is nothing quite as disappointing as having to apply chili like tomato sauce—simply adding more and more because tomuwulira! You just don’t feel the effect on the taste.

Newman’s UG Kamulali is here to give true chili lovers the real thrill they crave. Just a fair word of caution as you uncork the bottle: beera mu! This is REAL kamulali.
