Description
Dark as Midnight, our newest sauce uses the world’s hottest chilli: the Carolina Reaper. Â At up to 2.1m SHUs it’s nearly twice as hot as the naga or ghost chilli!
Thick, rich but not over-sweet, first up you get the silkiness of the honey, followed by a mellow hit of gently fried garlic, the tang of dark soy sauce and rice wine vinegar, then an almost imperceptible build of heat from the Carolina Reapers. Â This sticky sauce makes the perfect marinade for all types of dishes, an indispensable addition to stir fries or pulled pork recipes, or – well, use your imagination…
So yeah, it’s a hot one; one of our hottest yet not the hottest. Â How come? Â Well, like all of our sauces, taste has to be the overriding factor. Â Use too many Reapers and all you’ll be thinking is “Who drove that nail through my tongue?” Â Besides, it was all too predictable to make a crazy hot sauce from the world’s hottest chilli. Â What we’ve created here is a showcase of what can be done with a really hot chilli, not what everyone assumes has to be done.
Still hot though but by god it’s delicious!
