The habanero sits at a respectable 600,000 on the Scoville scale – well into face-reddening territory – but what sets it apart from the screaming intensity of your Scorpions and Carolina Reapers is that it’s actually got quite a nuanced flavour profile: smoky and a little sweet before the heat kicks in. Chilli No. 5 dry these savoury little chillis into flakes and pack them into a neat 15ml glass tube, ready to scatter over pizza, stir into marinades, or finish a pasta that needs a little lift. And did you know chilli is also classified as a superfood? It’s packed with antioxidants and vitamins that help with everything from blood clotting and kidney function to wound healing and immunity.
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.
