The Chuck Norris of chilli peppers, the Carolina Reaper held the Guinness World Record as the hottest chilli on the planet for a decade, until it was unseated by the newly developed Pepper X in 2023. At 2.2 million Scoville heat units – roughly four times the heat of a habanero – it’s been likened to eating molten lava, and a pinch over your pizza or pasta will have you snorting fire. Use sparingly, brag freely.
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.
