Happy
Chrimbo/Hannuka/Xmas/Christmas
and whatever the
heck else people
celebrate/call it
during the yuletide
season, I know I
usually say “I’ve
got a cracking
review for you all
today” but this time
I haven’t just got a
cracking review, I
have what could be
the ULTIMATE chrimbo
gift for Chilli
headz, and whaddya
know, it comes from
the UK’s answer to
Blair, our very own
Gerald Fowler of
The Chilli Pepper
Company!!
Heart Throb from
The Chilli
Pepper Company
Gerald has created a
one of a kind
artisan sauce, for
those of you who
like your collectors
items, wrap your
peepers round this,
because its a doozy!!
Okay
let me just start
this by saying that
“Heart Throb” is by
no means the hottest
sauce the CPC has
ever done, oh
noooooo that
particular badge
belongs firmly on
the chest of “15
Minute Burn”, but
this is by far the
sauce that CPC has
that covers both
heat and flavour in
equal measures so
you could say (and I
quote) that this is
their hottest and
tastiest sauce yet
so its the hottest
of their tasty
sauces!
The packaging is
nothing short of
fooking legendary, I
thought i had seen
it all, but this
sauce comes in a
heart shaped bottle
with an oldschool
style pop top, the
label hanging around
its neck from gold
thread like a
medallion of
bragging rights,
this one is a
definite collectors
bottle, its the sort
of thing you’d see
in a major sauce
fans collection for
hundreds of
dollars…BUT! This is
the UK we’re talking
about…and its the
CPC so you KNOW its
not gonna be THAT
expensive I think at
this point I’ll let
my video do the
talking, to give you
an idea of the
flavour and heat of
this one, take a
look at this…
What did I tell
you?? Its warm, but
its not off the
charts its tasty,
but its got a kick
like a proverbial
mule! But go ahead
and do a dessert
spoon of it and you
WILL regret it, this
stuff is best used
sparingly, add it to
dips and sprinkle on
chips, chuck a bit
in your chilli or
mix it in to a curry
whatever you do with
you’ll enjoy it, and
that's the main
part!
The sauce comes
in three varieties
and as such,
commands three
different price
tags:
Heart Throb
sauce boxed in
LTD edition
bottle: £5
Heart Throb
sauce boxed in

bottle with wax

Heart Throb

collectors item
and worth £12 on

If you want my
advice, and you know
a big hot sauce fan
head on over to
www.chileseeds.co.uk
and get em the
deluxe £15 edition
to put on display
and the £5 edition
for them to actually
taste the sauce
(because it really
does have to be
tasted!) and they’ll
love you forever,
trust me, ANY chilli
fan will be happy
with this in their
collection, in fact
I’d be extremely
surprised to meet
any chilli head who
DOESN’T want a
bottle of this, then
of course I’ll give
em a slap so they
come to their
senses!!
Anyway, happy
yule my chile
padawanz, and until
we next meet, may
the sauce be with
you…always!!

Our hottest and tastiest sauce yet!
40g of pure taste with tons of heat. Trinidad Scorpion, Naga Viper, spices and
natural chilli flavour give this a heat not to be missed. We
have teamed the sauce up with a fantastic heart shaped bottle
made in limited numbers wrapped in a great looking box with
shredded fill. The picture does not do it justice but, take my
word for it this is a great collectable not to be missed.
Perfect for the present for that special person.
I have a bottle in
my hand, a bottle with a picture of the
Devil as the main image. There’s no doubt in
my mind what that means; pain, heat and lots
of it!
What it actually means is an
attractive artistically labelled bottle of
Naga-basco, a super-sized version of the
similarly named mainstream version. As
always Ged and the team have used great
design to achieve yet another evil looking
product.
The bottle itself has a
similar shape and nozzle to allow the
careful sprinkling of the liquid lava within
(believe me you want full control of how
much you use in one go) and it’s viscosity
is similar too, it’s quite runny which
enables the user to sprinkle accurately.
Once the cap is removed, a
quick wave under the nostrils reveals that
tell-tale aroma of the Naga, although there
are different variants of the Naga, they all
have a similar, fruity, powerful scent when
processed. This sauce uses Naga Jolokia and
by the looks of it, lots of them! The Naga
Jolokia Chilli comes in at just over 1m SHU
(Scoville Heat Units)
Right taste time, I pour out
enough to fill a teaspoon and even before it
reaches my mouth, my nose picks up the
vinegar and Naga fruitiness, then it’s in.
The first impression as I
move the sauce around my mouth is an
unexpected slight sweetness, and then the
sourness of the vinegar comes through, then
the burn starts and builds steadily but not
uncomfortably, so I don’t need to rush to
the fridge for milk!
It’s a pleasant burn but
don’t get me wrong, it’s still very hot as
the label suggests and for those not used to
Naga’s should still take care.
To sum up, this is a very
nice sauce which can be used to spice up
just about any food you want from pizza to
salad. The 140ml Bottle should last a while
too.

15 Minute Burn
Good morning my chilli padawanz!!
How is the sauce treating you all today?
Good to hear it!! Right, my sauce review
today comes from a man who is most famous
for growing the current “Worlds hottest
chilli” in the Guinness book of records, I’m
talking about Gerald Fowler of course!
The sauce I have for review
doesn't
contain any naga viper but it does contain
Bhut Jolokia and whole bucket load of heat!
Obviously Ged needs no introduction as he is
infamous by now and well known at many a
show for always bringing some of the HOTTEST
sauces on earth with him, this particular
review was quite special so I decided to
film it with my friend Richard “Sticky”
Coombes, and with Mrs Naga behind the
camera this was sure to be a damn good
video, read on and find out how it all
went!!
Well with a sauce this fookin mental
where do I start? The sauce comes in a 30ml
bottle in limited edition packaging, which
consists of a nice plastic case and some
shredded red paper, its a perfect thing to
show off in you sauce collection, the bottle
has a nice white label on it with a double
mushroom cloud and the words “Pocket Rocket,
15 minute burn” as well, the ingredients are
down the side of the bottle as well as a
warning too.. and trust me this sauce bloody
well needs a warning!!
The sauce inside is a very deep red, with
swathes of blood red extract running through
it, so before you open this you KNOW its
going to be murder in a bottle! But that
didn't stop me and Sticky from going all out
with this sauce, in fact i don’t think I
need to talk about it much more, check out
the video below and you draw your own
conclusions!!
So there you have it, Sticky is truly now
a Chilli Padwan who was taken from one
extreme to the other and took it like a
fookin CHAMP! I have never met a guy who has
never eaten anything remotely hot in his
life and doesn't even eat kormas, to then
come and do a video review with me of what
is quite possibly the hottest sauce I own!!
A true legend in the making there, oh and
he’s also expressed and interest in doing
more reviews with me MUAHAHAHAHAHA its fun
being a Pith Lord
You can buy a bottle of this right now
for £4.00 over at
www.chileseeds.co.uk, I know I said £6
in the video but I didn't realise Ged was
doing this at such a BARGAIN price!! You’d
pay a lot more for a much milder sauce in
a lot of places, but if you want a sauce that
will annihilate your palate and serve as a
perfect test for those friends who “can
handle anything hot” then this is perfect
for them!!
Until next time my chilli padawanz, may
the sauce be with you, always!!

SHU pure crystal Capsaicin!
Good day my
chile padawanz!! I have noticed that
lately Hot Juan has been posting up his
“Xmas gifts for chileheadz” bit every
other day…well here's a cracker for you
Item #666: 16 Million SHU pure crystal
capsaicin extract! Now, this particular
gift should probably top the list tbh,
as in February next year this stuff
becomes ILLEGAL to sell/import/export in
its purest (crystal) form in the UK! So
now is the time to grab the ULTIMATE
gift for your favourite chilehead, and
you can grab it from none other than Ged
Fowler over at
www.chileseeds.co.uk
at a bonanza price of only £10 for a
vial of the stuff.
Below is a video of
me trying this stuff dissolved in vodka
(as that's the only way to get the heat
out of it) so in theory there’s enough
crystal in the vodka (one vial!!) to
make it stupidly out of this world HOT!!
For your viewing pleasure:
So there you have
it! The hottest product on planet earth,
there is literally nothing hotter, and
while i would recommend doing what i
did, it certainly make s a unique gift
for the chilehead who has everything, so
to speak! Please please PLEASE DO NOT
try this at home, I used gloves, I make
myself sick on purpose to get this out
of my system, I wouldn't have let this
pass through me as its way to dangerous,
hence why its being banned as from
February 2011, so grab a vial of this
NOW for only £10 over at
www.chileseeds.co.uk.
Until next we meet
my padawanz, may the sauce be with you,
always!

Naga Viper 2nd Hottest Chilli in the
World
30ml Bottle Naga Viper Sauce Limited Edition
EU orders
for Naga Viper Chilli Sauce
£3.50
Rest
of the World orders for Naga Viper Chilli Sauce £4.50 including
additional postage
Measured at 1,382,118 SHU’s
(Scoville Heat Units). Our new hot chilli is
called Naga Viper.
We have produced something really special
here and it has taken us a while. In fact it has
taken us over two years. The reason for that is
that it is based on a new chilli that we are
currently developing, the Naga Viper.
Our Naga Viper
has been tested as the hottest chilli
in the world, although we are still in the process of
ensuring that what we have will be consistently the
hottest. Warwick HRI, who have an established name
in the testing of chilli heat levels, say that it is
the hottest chilli they have ever tested, using the
World Standard dried chilli testing protocol.
We couldn’t resist incorporating some of the early
fruits of this exciting development into this brand
new sauce. The idea is to deliver blistering heat,
without the inevitable disadvantages of unpleasant
smell and taste associated with the use of
traditional chilli extracts. And we are confident that
this is what we have achieved.
And the sauce is…
Extremely hot
– just under one million Scoville Heat Units
Hellooooo my chile
padawanz!! Today I am reviewing a
sauce that is made from the now
infamous “Naga Viper” chilli, its
made by my good friend Ged from The
Chilli Pepper Company, and he’s tried
to keep this sauce as simple as
possible so that people can
appreciate the full on heat and
flavour that comes with the Naga
viper, and as you all know from my
pod test a week or so ago, this
particular chilli is really bloody
hot!! Anyway, without further ado
lets kick this review off shall we?
Ingredients:
Bhut Jolokia, Naga Viper Chilli and
Vinegar.
Well there’s a rarity in the
chilli world, a sauce that contains
only 3 ingredients! well if you know
Ged as well as I know him, you’ll
also know that there reason behind
this is a simple but effective one!
He has done this so as to let the
flavour and heat of the naga viper
shine through and not be marred or
possibly tainted by other flavours
along the way, I’m sure Ged will be
making other sauces based on the
Naga Viper chilli and using
different flavours but for now this
is to let people get a taste of the
Naga Viper chilli as pure as
possible without tasting the actual
pods themselves (which are rare atm!)
The sauce is simply called “Naga
Viper”.. now a lot for you are
probably thinking “Hmm Darth has
reviewed a sauce called naga viper
before” and you’d be absolutely
right! BUT Ged decided to change
some things round a bit after he and
i had a conversation awhile back, i
suggested that maybe Ged should
change the naga viper sauce he was
selling at the time to the
“Terminator” sauce he was also
marketing at the time, mainly to
avoid confusion and also because the
name was more fitting, Ged seemed to
have agreed with me as he has now
changed the name of the “Terminator”
sauce to “Naga Viper” (soooo all
those people who bought “Terminator”
at West Dean, you have the same
sauce as I tested here today, but as
luck would have it those bottles are
now limited edition as they no
longer exist!!).
Anyway, I could go on
about the bottle and such but please
watch my video review to get the
full lowdown on this cracking sauce!
So there you have it! this sauce
is without a doubt one of the
HOTTEST natural sauces to date, it
is up there among the greats,
putting us on the map as one of the
best hot sauce producers in the
world!! You need to get your arses
over to
www.chileseeds.co.uk
right now and grab a bottle of this
for £6 while its still at this mad
price, its in very limited
quantities so I would grab a bottle
while you still can chilefanz!!
As another review comes to its
conclusion I can only say that I
hope you all have an awesome time
with this sauce, and may the sauce
be with you, always!!!

Be Damned
Chilli Sauce
What customers say about our Be Damned Sauce
Hi, Received my bottle of Be
Damned and brought it into work today. A few of us have
prepared some food and are noted Chilli lovers. Working in
China for a long while has somewhat accustomed us to hot
stuff but this little beauty is something very special. We
made a nice 3 bean soup and to be safe added a large
teaspoonful. When the first spoonful goes in you are
expecting it to be painful but it isn’t until 3...2...1..
BOOM, wow what an intense burn (everyone who has already had
it falls about laughing at the next victim). Extremely
sharp in nature and unlike any other sauce I have tried.
The heat builds and builds and soon we were all suffering,
you know the signs, nose running, sucking air through your
lips and sweating. It really is like licking the tail pipe
of a drag racing car. Full marks guys this truly is a hot
sauce and one that will be worshipped. Bring it on!

Message: Be Damned? How apt the name! As a veteran of the
super-hot chilli sauce brigade I approach new supposed
self-proclaimed super-hot chilli sauces with a little care and a
degree of scepticism....
I carried out my usual first taste test - a smear from the
inside of the lid on the tip of a finger straight on the tongue,
and Be Damned....
This little monkey does all it sets out to - it tastes superb
for the 3
seconds it takes for the heat to kick in and then I
was in pain...serious pain...nose running...dribbling...all the
usual suspects! I don't know what the average SHU rating on this
is, but it's way hotter than Satan's Blood, Blair's Sudden
Death, Blair's 3am or even Naga Snake Bite, Cobra Juice, Pure
Venom Reserve! The likes of Dave's Insanity Sauce aren't even on
the same planet!
Seriously, it's like putting a flame-thrower in your mouth and
pulling the trigger just for fun! Absolutely magnificent!

140ml Bottle Of Dangerously Hot Chilli
Sauce Now ONLY £4.50 Save a £1
By
Hot Juan, January 9,
2010 9:47 am The Chilli
Pepper Company —10 Minute
Burn
Okay
where to start? This is my first
video review since the new year
started and OMFG I couldn't have
started it with a bigger bang if
i’d have tried! This sauce today
comes from our good friends at
the “Chilli pepper company” and
I have to say this is EASILY the
hottest sauce they sell and its
a f*****g corker!! Ged developed
this sauce to compete in the
ever growing “Ultra death kill ya stupidly over the fookin'
top” hot sauce category and I
have to say it holds its own
rather well, but enough of this,
lets crack on eh?
There ya go,
that's it, no additives or
anything, 100% natural ( I
count extract as a natural
substance, some don’t) in fact
its the Naga’s and extract that
give “10 Minute Burn” its super
natural heat level, but more on
that in a moment. This sauce is
the one that we wrote an
article about
here:
It was banned from the September
09 FFUK show for being “too hot”
and as the interview shows
people passed out and had
reactions to it, thus it was
BANNED!!
And now, of all
people I get given a bottle of
this to do a review of, I'm
scared to say the least, but I
like to think that I'm crazy and
stupid enough to take on
ANYTHING in the Hot sauce world,
so without any more distractions
here it is!
This sauce comes
in a lovely little square glass
bottle that to me is very
ornamental, it has a simple
label on it that is adorned with
flames and skulls (that look
like they are screaming
incidentally!) The sauce inside
is a swirl of light red and dark
red faint lines with seeds
suspended in the sauce here
and there, there are also 2
clear warnings on the rear, one
says “Once eaten this will
really hurt” and the other says
“use to add heat to your
cooking, do
not ingest directly” but as the
following video shows, I paid NO
ATTENTION to these
warnings, HA!
Soooooooooooooooo as you can
see.. I pretty much died right
there! The sauce, as I tried my
best to point out, has a lovely
sweet fruity flavour for a few
seconds, and that's what took me
by surprise! After smelling the
sauce and smelling only Naga
peppers and extract I was sure
this would only taste of extract
and that the heat would blow me
away instantly but it didn't… the
heat was masked amazingly by the
fruit present in the sauce, the
initial sweet taste made me let
my guard down and then the pain
crawled out from under my tongue
and OWOWOWOWOW it hit me hard!!
I’m not over exaggerating when I
tell you it was like being
punched in the mouth by Satan
himself, my lips swelled a
little and I started sweating
immediately, it was a sharp
stinging, burning sensation
coupled with the uncontrollable
hiccups and my eyes streaming as
if I had just been kicked in
the plums!!
So
there you have it, the Infamous
and Notorious “10 minute burn”
officially reviewed by yours
truly, if you like INSANE
amounts of heat in pretty much
anything then I recommend you
give this bottle of life
altering sauce a go, the
endorphin rush is well worth the
burn, I promise you that much!
“10 minute burn” is available
from
www.chileseeds.co.uk
at a wallet pleasing £7.00 for
100ml, but for those of you
thinking that 100ml for 7 quid
isn't a lot, trust me it will
last a while, unless of course
you’re a head case and put it on
everything you eat!! Grab a
bottle while its hot people,
because at that price I'm not
sure Ged will have it in stock
for long, and after the chilli
festivals hit, and this sauce
rockets in popularity its gonna become rare!!! SO GRAB
IT NOW!!!
Until next time my chile fanz,
hope you had a great new year,
and as always may the sauce be
with you!!!

Christmas Special 140ml Bottle Of Dangerously Hot Chilli
Sauce Now ONLY £4.50
Naga Mama
PURE
fresh chilli, no additives or extracts, pure natural burn.
The Naga Morich 'snake or serpent chilli'
is one of the world's most respected chillis. A sample of fresh fruit of
the rare Bangladeshi Naga Morich chilli was tested by Warwick University
using HPLC and registered a tongue numbing 1,598,227 Scoville Heat Units
(SHU).
Fresh Naga
Morich and Bhut Jolokia Chilli Sauce. Naga Morich joins Bhut Jolokia in
a hot sauce that will bring tears to some eyes. We have based it
on our best selling Dragons breath sauce which is a Caribbean style hot
sauce with lots of flavour built in. Once you touch this on your tongue
the burn is instant get past the burn and you pick up the flavours of
Basil, Turmeric, Thyme, Mustard, Nutmeg and Apricot flavour your mouth
explodes with an extreme Naga Morich/Bhut Jolokia heat that pounds your
tongue. This is another genuine hot sauce you have been waiting
for.
What they
say about our Naga Mama
Thanks very
much for a helpful and speedy service - all items arrived safe
and in pristine condition.
I write
this to you an hour after receiving the goods - the Naga Mama
and PPP do exactly what they say on the label, myself and two
friends have already sampled the goods and we are unanimous in
our opinion that the Naga Mama is the tastiest and hottest
all-natural hot sauce we have yet tasted. You have our
extremely warm(!?) gratitude (though at this exact moment
'thanks' would be pushing it a bit considering the burn is only
just starting to fade after 20 minutes!).
Thanks to
all involved, and we'll let you know how we get on with the
plants. We will definitely be re-ordering soon....
Right chile fanz, its been a
while since I wrote a review but that's not to say I'm
rusty, ohhhhh no! I’m still in fine reviewing form and have
been munching all manner of chilli related just to make sure
my taste buds stay ruined! Even if my taste buds were
completely shot to bits I would still be able to taste the
sauce I am reviewing today, it comes all the way from
Cumbria, from our good friend Gerald Fowler of “The
Chilli Pepper Company”
(who from here on in I shall refer to as “CPC” for ease of
reading :o )without further ado lets get on with it!!
I would have to start off by saying that
“Witches Brew” is classified as hot, simply because in my
eyes it is hotter than most of the so called “hot”
supermarket sauces out there today, its in a similar vein to
“8 Ball” that I reviewed a while back in that its a perfect
sauce to break unto the underground chilli culture with, due
to its mid range heat level.
The bottle itself is typical of the CPC
range and comes with a high gloss label on the front,
complete with title and a strange grey looking witch
stirring a cauldron! I do enjoy seeing Ged’s new labels when
they come out as they are always fun to see, the sauce
inside this bottle is a lovely red colour with flecks of
black, bits of pepper flesh and the occasional seed floating
about in the liquid!
“Witches Brew” isn't a thick sauce, its more
of a pouring sauce that would be good poured into stews and
curries as its very easy to stir in and becomes dispersed
very quickly, allowing for a nice even flavour throughout
whatever you are cooking it in, you could also hold your
thumb over the top of the bottle allowing for a tiny gap and
liberally sprinkle this one over salad or chips and many
other things, just make sure to wash ya hands afterwards!!
Upon opening the bottle the smell of scotch
bonnets entered my olfactory senses and gave them a little
kick along with the vinegar, I couldn't detect the cinnamon
or garlic in the smell from the sauce, but as we all know,
the real experience comes from the taste, so not expecting
this to be too hot for me I simply lifted the bottle to my
lips and took a hearty mouthful!
The flavour of the peppers hit me first, a
beautiful fruity and savoury flavour all at once, then the
cinnamon came and after swishing it round and swallowing,
there was a very pleasant garlicky aftertaste, the heat was
very unexpected, my hiccups started about 30 seconds after
the first mouthful, and only got worse after the second.
The heat from this is one that definitely
hits good and hard, making the tongue throb a little and
keeping the mouth warm, not a heat that stays for very long
so obviously you have to eat more of it
It has a flavour that reminded me of “Tabasco” but there
was something else, in fact if “Tabasco” and “Encona
Caribbean Original” made love, I think that “Witches Brew”
would be the offspring, in such a way that it brings the
flavours of both those sauces together in one amazingly
flavoured hot sauce.
“Witches Brew” is available exclusively
from
www.chileseeds.co.uk and is priced
as a measly £4.50 for a nice sized 140ml bottle, I think at
this time of year its a perfect winter warmer and would make
and excellent present for someone who likes hot sauce but
has never bought a “proper” one before! I would definitely
buy a bottle of this, and depending on what you use it in I
think you’ll probably be coming back for more as you might
go through it a little quicker than you realise!
Until next time my chile padawanz, may the
sauce be with you, always!
140ml Bottle Of Witches Brew Hot Chilli
Sauce £4.50
Ahhh its Monday evening
and I’ve done my work for the day
now to sit down and do something I
really enjoy, reviewing hotsauce!!
The sauce I have today comes from
a friend of mine who runs the “Chilli
Pepper Company” his name is
Gerald Fowler and I am sure that
those of you who have been to at
least one chilli festival last year
will have met the man himself, he’s
a larger than life guy who really
loves the burn and everything
associated with it, he’s tried all
his sauces himself even the fabled
“10 minute burn” that was banned
from the FFUK last year, so when I
say this man knows his chilli’s I’m
putting it mildly!!
So here we are, I have a bottle
of one of Ged’s best selling sauces
in my hand and am about to review
it, “Naga Mama” is one of CPC’s
flagship sauces, when the Naga
started to become popular the UK a
few years back, Ged jumped straight
on it along with a lot of other
chilli sauce producers and set about
to create an all natural sauce that
used this amazing chilli as a base
for some wonderfully hot but tasty
sauce and as a result “Naga Mama”
was born. As always with the “Chilli
pepper company” the label on this
140ml bottle is full colour and
glossy, it has an interesting
picture of a crest with a chilli on
and a crown above that, all in
lovely orange and black as you can
see from the photo, I suspect Gerald
had this one specially drawn up for
this sauce!
The sauce itself is a nice bright
orange with flecks of white here and
there in the form of seeds, but the
texture is very smooth and not
lumpy at all, which makes for a good
pouring sauce! Upon opening the
bottle I noted a very sweet and
tomatoey smell coming from the neck
which I can only put down to the use
of sweet fruits in the sauce, but
perhaps they are used merely to take
the slightly bitter edge off the
Naga? (which I find is sometimes a
problem for Naga based sauces, the
bitterness overwhelming the final
product)
I poured some out onto my spoon
and gave it my usual sniff before
placing the spoon on my tongue and
doing my best to ascertain the
flavours present. Surprisingly,
considering its sweet smell this was
quite a savoury sauce and was
abundant with both tomato and Naga
pepper flavours and I have a feeling
my initial judgement was correct
and that the fruits had been used in
this sauce to counteract the
slight bitter taste that can
sometimes be associated with the
Naga pepper!
Again CPC has produced a fine
Naga based sauce with a flavour that
is unlike any of the other sauces
they produce, its both slightly
sweet and very savoury at the same
time which makes this an excellent
sauce for both pouring onto food and
placing into everyday meals to spice
things up a bit!!
And while
this isn’t the hottest completely
natural Naga based hotsauce on the
market it still has a place among
the best tasting ones, coupling a
strong tomato base with the
complexity of two different Naga’s
makes for a very interesting sauce
indeed!
Until next time my chile padawanz!
may the sauce be with you, always!
What they say about our Naga Mama
Thanks very much for a helpful and
speedy service - all items arrived safe and in pristine
condition. I write this to
you an hour after receiving the goods - the Naga Mama and PPP do
exactly what they say on the label, myself and two friends have
already sampled the goods and we are unanimous in our opinion
that the Naga Mama is the tastiest and hottest all-natural hot
sauce we have yet tasted. You have our extremely warm(!?)
gratitude (though at this exact moment 'thanks' would be pushing
it a bit considering the burn is only just starting to fade
after 20 minutes!). Thanks to all involved, and we'll let
you know how we get on with the plants. We will definitely
be reordering soon....
Hello again chilefanz!! Darth
Naga coming atcha like
Cleopatra, once again! Its
starting to get really bloody
cold I've noticed, seeing as its
winter and all this is the BEST
time of year to start getting
into hot sauces and other chilli
related products, and if you’re
interested in breaking into the
“Very fookin hot” category of
chilli sauces, then you should
look at the sauce I have today.
This sauce comes from our old
friends at the “Chilli Pepper
Company” (henceforth known as
CPC) a group of people who over
the time of reading the blog
here at the ChileFoundry you’ll
have come to love them as much
as I do, and if not then where
the heck have you been?!?
If you know CPC
then you’ll know that the
growing trend with their sauces
is that they are pretty much all
natural sauces with only a
couple in their range
containing extract, well this
sauce falls under the “all
natural” banner. “The Beast” as
its known relies on the 13
Naga’s per bottle to give it the
flavour and heat that it touts!
The label is another of CPC’s
beautifully crafted classy ones
with the name of the sauce, an
extremely pissed off looking
demon and “Extremely Hot Chilli
Sauce” emblazoned proudly across
it, the bottle itself is the
same as most of CPC’s range of
sauces which is no bad thing as
I swear Ged and co always put a
little extra sauce into these
bottles!
The sauce itself is a sort of
burnt orange in colour, with
flacks of red white and black
suspended throughout and the
texture is nice and chunky but
easily pourable, in fact the
look of it alone scares me a
little as I know its ALL about
the Naga in that bottle, and
while the Naga is indeed my
favourite pepper it's also
blisteringly hot and causes me
great pain LOL!
I undid the bottles cap and
held it to my nose, allowing my
olfactory senses a chance to
decipher the ingredients
*sniiiiiiiffff*.…Naga. That's
it, seriously! I can just smell
pure naga coming from this
bottle and yet I threw caution
into the wind and decided to
swig straight from the bottle
(mainly as I didn't have my
tasting spoon to hand!) and WOW
what a interesting turn of
events that was!!
Like a sweet chilli sauce
made for psycho’s the flavour of
the mango pushed forward through
the Naga’s and hit my tongue
first, such an amazing
flavour of sweet fruit, then
came the savoury hit of Naga
which was closely followed by a
heat that made my tongue and
lips burn very rapidly and then
subsided a little and left me
with a gentle tingling warmth
that made me take another swig!!
This sauce is something
different for me, I wasn't
expecting the sweetness to be
there and I'm definitely no fan
of sweet chilli sauces at all,
but I have to say between CPC
and Mr Vikki I am starting to
understand why sweet chilli
sauces are so popular, “The
Beast” is a name that conjures
up images of stupidly hot sauce
in my head but that's totally
not the case, this sauce is hot
don’t get me wrong but its also
sweet and they balance each
other out perfectly to make a
unique sauce that has to be
tasted to be believed!
The Beast Hot Sauce
13 Naga Morich Per Bottle Limited Edition
One of the hottest natural chilli sauces on the market!
What They Say: "The Beast Limited
Edition Chilli Sauce - There's only one bad thing about this
sauce - it's a limited edition which means it won't be
around forever! Which is a true shame because it is quite
simply the best tasting chilli sauce I've ever come across.
I've used a third of a bottle in 5 days! Fresh tasting,
fruity start building to an almost meaty flavour and then
finishing with a slow building genuine heat. Not super hot,
just right to add a damned good kick to anything you care to
eat it with. Tip: It's sublime with Wiltshire Honey roast
Ham. 10/10 to The Chilli Pepper Company - they've done it
again!"
140ml Bottle The Beast Limited Edition Hot Sauce £5.50
Dragons Breath Sauce
Our best selling chilli sauce ever, after a
successful run of food shows selling out of our Dragons
Breath every time we decided to cook up another batch. The
sauce is based on a Caribbean style hot sauce we built in
lots of flavour as well as extreme heat. Once you get past
the first 5 seconds of Basil, Turmeric, Thyme, Mustard,
Nutmeg and Mango your mouth explodes with an extreme Bhut
Jolokia heat that pounds your tongue. This is the genuine
hot sauce you have been waiting for.
Its
a Wednesday evening, I've just
finished work only to get home
and realise that I've been a
little slack and must do a sauce
review, then of course the
difficulty comes in choosing
what sauce to review, a quick
look through past reviews and
future bottles in front of me
leads me to notice that I
haven't covered a sauce from the
“Chilli Pepper Company” for a
while, so here it is! Ged at the
Chilli Pepper Company is a mad
northerner who delights in two
things:
Making very tasty homemade
sauces using the freshest
ingredients for everyone
to enjoy.
Attempting to kill me by way of
the hottest sauces he can muster
up.
Thankfully this is one of the
former for a change, but don’t
be fooled its not all fluffy
pillows and candy floss, not in
my world baby!!
“Dragon’s Breath” is a sauce
that on first picking up I
honestly didn't think would be
that hot, even though Jolokia’s
are on the list of ingredients
there were plenty of other
ingredients that I was sure
would bring the heat down a
couple of notches, perhaps even
till it was barely noticeable..
I was wrong.
The bottle is one of the usual
140ml glass bottles that most of
CPC’s sauces come in, this one
is adorned with another of their
high quality glossy labels,
with the name of the sauce, the
website and a blue dragon
breathing fire on the front. It
calls itself a “Deadly Hot
Caribbean Chilli Sauce” but I
t put off by this as a lot
of “Caribbean” sauces claim to
be “really hot” but they aren't!
The sauce inside is quite a
bright yellow with colourful
flecks of black, red, green and
white moving about as I gave the
I
popped the cap and took a big
sniff of the contents, straight
off I could smell vinegar,
apricots, garlic and mustard..
which is good as those are on
the ingredients list LOL!
I grabbed my tasting spoon,
looked at the bottle for a
minute then chuckled and lifted
the bottle to my lips taking a
hearty swig of the stuff within…
I soon learned this to be a
HEINOUS oversight on my part and
I was about to be taught a
valuable lesson.
Usually I wouldn't judge a sauce
without tasting it, but I saw
this one as one of Ged’s milder
sauces so I wasn't worried, I
knew it would taste damn good,
but the heat wouldn't be so bad,
as expected the flavours that
hit me instantly were mango
and garlic, with a bit of
pineapple,
a smatter of mustard and a hint
of Jolokia to keep even the most
fussy “Flavour snobs” happy… then
the heat kicked in, I wasn't
expecting this so of course I
lunged for my milk and after
taking a large mouthful realised
that this sauce gets it heat
from the Jolokia, so I should
have known better! It provides a
strong burning sensation on the
tongue, that transforms into an
intense wave of heat that moves
to the back of your throat and
stays there for a little while!
Not
a sauce to be laughed at, this
one provides enough heat to keep
hardcore chilli nutterz happy,
but the flavour is definitely a
Caribbean one and certainly
tastes better than a lot of
supposed “caribbean” sauces that
primarily use scotch bonnets,
this sauce dares to be a little
different with it use of fiery
Jolokia pepper blended
brilliantly with different
fruits to create a very fruity
sauce. You’ll find no extract
here as the burn is provided
naturally by the Jolokias!!
You
can buy a bottle right now over
at
www.chileseeds.co.uk for the
low price of £5.50, and at that
price I honestly have nothing
more to say except buy it, and I
promise you won’t regret it!!
Till next we meet my
chilli friendz, have a hot one
and may the sauce be with you!
This is an all round
great sauce for, marinating chicken, using
on grilled meats, especially tasty on steak
before grilling, perfect heat to add a
little interest to spaghetti bolognaise.
Mix with mayonnaise for a
great dip to go with pre dinner drinks. Use
on sandwiches, perfect for a bacon and
sausage sandwich. This sauce is so tasty the
list is endless.

Review of Piri Piri
Sauce
Hello again
guys and gals,
Scooby here bringing
you another sauce
review for the
Chilefoundry.
Today’s sauce is
from The Chilli
Pepper Company.
I was first
introduced to these
guys the other week
when myself and
Scottie 2 Hottie
were dragged in by
Darth Naga to try 10
minute burn at West
Dean Chilli Fiesta.
With this in the
back of my mind I'm
thinking, ‘mmmmmm,
these guys REALLY
know how to make a
good sauce, so lets
see how this one
goes down’.
The
sauce is called Piri
Piri and is quite
delicate in colour
compared to many
chilli sauces on the
market today. It is
a lovely warming red
colour with the odd
spec of green red
and white, which
sets it off
beautifully in the
bottle.
Ingredients:
Tomatoes, Lemon
juice, Rice wine
vinegar, garlic,
onion, Kaffir lime
leaves, herbs and
spices and piri piri
chilli.
Upon
opening the bottle I
get hit with an
instant rush of
tomatoes. (The smell
I mean, not actual
tomatoes hitting me
as that would just
be stupid) Behind
the tomato smell I
can just about make
out a sweetness from
the lemon juice and
lime leaves as well
as the garlic trying
to get into the mix.
Anyway, out comes
the teaspoon. This
sauce just pours out
onto the spoon. It
is not completely
smooth which is
great and as it
glides out of the
bottle you can see
more of this
glorious red with a
few sneaky seeds
which have made it
into the bottle
which will
definitely make a
difference to the
texture.
First taste, a very
strong tomato
flavour. This lasts
for couple of
seconds before this
begins to take a
seat at the back and
let the sweetness
from the lemon and
lime come through.
This also lasts for
a few seconds before
suddenly the tomato
flavour jumps back
onto my tongue and
this time he has
brought a friend,
the piri piri
chilli. The heat is
mild and does not
interfere with the
flavour. Tongue has
a very mild tingle,
more of a warming
than a tingle to be
honest, but the
flavour is awesome.
The Chilli Pepper
Company have
definitely done
their homework here
on this sauce. The
flavours keep taking
their turns to sit
on my tongue before
swapping again
whilst this mild
heat sits there
watching until it
slowly fades.
I
highly recommend
this sauce for a
summer bbq to
marinate your meat,
the only downside is
that I cannot stop
eating the sauce
neat right now it is
that good.

Okay
where to start? This is my first
video review since the new year
started and OMFG I couldn't have
started it with a bigger bang if
i’d have tried! This sauce today
comes from our good friends at
the “Chilli pepper company” and
I have to say this is EASILY the
hottest sauce they sell and its
a f*****g corker!! Ged developed
this sauce to compete in the
ever growing “Ultra death kill ya stupidly over the fookin'
top” hot sauce category and I
have to say it holds its own
rather well, but enough of this,
lets crack on eh?
Its
a Wednesday evening, I've just
finished work only to get home
and realise that I've been a
little slack and must do a sauce
review, then of course the
difficulty comes in choosing
what sauce to review, a quick
look through past reviews and
future bottles in front of me
leads me to notice that I
haven't covered a sauce from the
