It’s not everyday you come across a sauce that states on the label, ‘Add to everything’. Very bold statement, but then again it is from The Wiltshire Chilli Farm so I have no doubt they can back this up with its ‘Hellish Habanero’.

The Wiltshire Chilli Farm - Hellish Habanero

The Wiltshire Chilli Farm - Hellish Habanero

The bottle is stumpy and probably around the 200ml kind of size with nothing less than there professionally marketed glossy labelling which offers class, character and charm to its appearance. This bottle has a cheeky yet evil feel to it with its frightful and comical pumpkin grinning away.

‘This limited edition HOT sauce is packed with Habanero’s, Nagas and just a few Chipotles. Add to everything’ Followed with a humorous warning, ‘Pretty darn hot’. All I can say is bring it on Wiltshire Chilli farm, trying to intimidate me with your scary pictures and lingo on the bottle. You don’t scare me.

Ingredients: Habanero (35%), Cider vinegar, Naga Chilli, Onions, Chipotle, Garlic.

Short list of ingredients here which makes it a nice and simple sauce. The smell is fairly typical of a Naga sauce but you get a mild Habanero aroma coming through too. To be fair Nagas do have a powerful smell so even a small amount would stick out. No other smells to report of, no overpowering vinegar or onion ect, just Chilli galore.

Nothing to fear in this sauce I reckon so come on Hellish Habanero, lets dance!!!

Ok so that’s the spoon done, and may I take this opportunity to take The Wiltshire Chilli farm to court for false advertising. ‘Pretty darn hot’???? Don’t you mean ‘Blow your head while kicking you in the stones with steel toe caps hot??? Jeez guys, for a non extract sauce that’s evil in a bottle. Last time I judge a sauce like that. The flavour is very much a Habanero taste but it strangely acts like a Naga where it takes a good 10-15 seconds before any heat comes off it. Before hand its just a lovely Hab flavour with a touch of fruitiness and naga. I was very tempted to have a second helping as it was soooo mild to start with, I just started chuckling to myself, it has no heat. More fool me. The heat started building at a stupid rate and before I knew it I was world hiccup champion with tears of joy for the flavour, but at the same time a pleasant pain. This sauce has immense heat and gorgeous flavour. Tastes are complimentary of each other and I am struggling to think of what this will not go with. I take my hat off to you Hellish Habanero, you caught me by surprise but was happy you did. Great bottle, great sauce. Simple as that.

I cannot tell you the price as it’s a limited edition bottle so pop www.justchillies.co.uk and drop them a mail. These guys wont rob you so don’t stress, good products at good value for money.

So until next time Chilliheads remember, if it burns going in, it will burn coming out.

Hot-Headz  Ringstinger!

Hot-Headz Ringstinger!

When this arrived at ChileFoundry HQ, you can guess this is not a very serious sauce, more of a lads night out sauce.. 

Apart from the label let see if this sauce is any good! It is a reddish orange colour with seeds and bit of chilli flesh floating in the  a slightly thickened sauce, thanks to the Xanthan Gum and not having all the ingredients blended to a liquid.

The sauce contains a mix of  Habanero’s and Naga Jolokia chillies, so I am expecting it to be hot enough, but it was a surprise how fruity it smells, and for a few moment you can also taste both the Lime and Passion fruit, but then the Naga’s get a hold of me and I can feel the cough reflex, for a potentially joke sauce this has some real bite.

Ingredients: Water, Habanero Chillies, Naga Jolokia Chillies, Salt, Carrots, Onions, Lime Juice, Acetic Acid, Food Starch, Passionfruit Juice, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Garlic.

I am quite enjoying this sauce, I must admit I did not expect to, many of the sauces I have purchased for the fun label have turned out to be a complete let down, but put another label on this and this would pass as a good mid range hot sauce..

At £3.99 this sauce is a bit of fun, hot enough to cause the offered side effects, and tasty as well, may make a good gift for a Stag night out, or as just a fun gift, these style of sauce label have there moment, and this time of year is it.

It’s taste is good, so for a bit of fun, give then to some friends as gifts, we all know someone who needs a bottle www.hot-headz.com

The Chilli Jam Company was established in 2005 by Tessa and Sue, during their first year they managed to win a prestigious Great Taste GOLD award.

The Chilli Jam Company - Chillirissa

The Chilli Jam Company - Chillirissa

We have a jar of their Chillirissa, which is a mix of Onions, Sun Dired Tomatoes and Chillies with Garlic, sugar and spices, it was developed to be used in cooking to add both heat and flavour.

On opening the jar, the contents is a thick light red/orange paste with a lovely smell of garlic and onions, the taste is wonderfully hot and pungent, the initial taste is from the onions, quickly followed by the chilli and then the richness of the sun dried tomatoes, this leaves a beautiful flavour in the mouth, it is hot and rich and yes I am really enjoying this.

Ingredients:- Onions, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Fresh Red Chillies (12.5%), Garlic, Sugar, Spices and Salt.

This makes an great dip when added to yoghurt the same mix can even be used as a marinade, or how about just stuffing some under the skin of a chicken breast and roasting in the oven.
