Hotter than hell. Deceptively fruity. You know the drill. Pint of milk on the table, toilet roll in the freezer. The Naga Jolokia – better known as the Ghost Chilli – has a reputation that precedes it. Apart from the incendiary 1 million Scoville heat units, what catches people off guard is the flavour: sweet and fruity before the heat arrives, which it does like a screaming white-hot asteroid shortly afterwards. Scatter these potent little flakes sparingly over pizza or use in a marinade – you won’t need much… FEATURES THE BRAND Ghost chilli (Naga Jolokia) flakes 1 million Scoville heat units Tasting notes: sweet, fruity, extremely hot Superfood ingredient – rich in antioxidants and vitamin C 15g glass tube Great Taste Award winner Vegan Most hot sauces are designed to blow your face off, pure and simple. A quick look at the ingredients will reveal sugar, vinegar, some sort of capsicum-based battery acid, and a list of chemical additives as long as your arm. Who needs flavour when you've got fire? The boys behind Chilli No. 5 disagree. Between them, Rumble and Colin – one a clean-eating chilli obsessive, the other a classically trained Scottish chef – have spent years backpacking around the world, tickling their tastebuds with spicy sensations from Central America to Southeast Asia. Years of travel made the gap between authentic flavour and supermarket hot sauce increasingly hard to ignore, so they got on and did something about it. The sauces, spice mixes and chilli flakes from Chilli No. 5 are made fresh in the UK in small batches, featuring whole ingredients and superfoods without the usual laundry list of synthesised additives, acids and starches. The Jamaican Jerk rub is aromatic and zingy. The Harissa is earthy and garlicky. The Piri Piri is bright and citrus-forward. Even their most ferocious concoctions boast complex flavour profiles that'll make your mouth water as well as your eyes. Award-winning hot sauces and spices, inspired by real adventures and ready to accompany you on yours.
