Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce$15.00 · 5 FL OZ
Where Extreme Heat Meets Master Craftsmanship The Carolina Reaper hot sauce is the pinnacle of the chili world. Developed as a hybrid pepper, it averages over 1,641,183 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) and peaks at a staggering 2.6 million SHU. At Carlos’ Consuming Fire, we’ve mastered the art of bottling this “nuclear” fire, ensuring every drop delivers the pure, unadulterated heat of one of the world’s most powerful pepper (175 to 880 times hotter than a jalapeño). Why Our Reaper Sauce Stands Out Pure Intensity: We use premium Carolina Reaper peppers to deliver a consistent, formidable heat profile without the use of artificial extracts. Complex Flavor Profile: While the heat is immediate, the Reaper is known for its sweet, fruity undertones and savory notes of garlic and onion before the intense burn takes over. Small-Batch Integrity: Handcrafted in Clearwater, Florida, our sauce contains no fillers, just the raw, natural power of the world’s most famous pepper. Artisan Standards: Every bottle preserves the natural oils and potency of the pepper, making this more than just a “challenge” sauce, it's a sophisticated culinary tool.

1.6M Scoville heat units.
Heat threshold and sensitivity varies from person to person. A Scoville is a unit of measurement named for Wilbur Scoville, inventor of the test that measures peppers' heat. A mild chile, such as an Anaheim, is around 500 units, while fierce chiles can clock in around 500,000 units. The Carolina Reaper clocks in at a staggering 2.2 million SHUs—making it 175 to 880 times hotter than a jalapeño.

I love (very) hot sauce and received a bottle of Carolina Reaper as a Christmas present. I had a little on pizza for lunch and think this hot sauce is excellent. It tastes excellent and is very hot. No artificial heat, just peppers. I will rate it as one of the best I have had and plan to buy more when this bottle is empty.
Hi Carlos. I met you in St. Pete, bought your reaper sauce. I absolutely demolished it. Incredible. Then you showed up at my doorstep at the Dade City Kumquat Festival. I bought your Ghost pepper sauce. It was gone in 3 days. You make some of the best hot sauces I've ever had. And I eat a LOT of hot sauce. Your customer service is also top notch. And I love the website. I'll gladly be a life long supporter. Your passion shows. Thank you so much!
i tried the carolina reaper sauce and it was insanely intense. even the tiniest bit, just the tip of a fork, hit me like a fiery wave. it’s super strong but also incredibly flavorful and once you taste it you’ll never forget it
