Melinda's Naga Jolokia Hot Sauce, 5 Oz

Love Melinda’s sauces. This is my go to HOT sauce. Different flavours and some are hotter than others. Very tasty indeed.

My new favorite. If you're familiar with their bhut jolokia sauce, don't think this will be just a little different. It's much brighter and fruitier, and obviously has a greater proportion of ghost peppers to habanero. Quite a bit hotter. Other than the significant difference in the taste of the chilis, the rest of the ingredients don't seem to have changed much or at all. The peppers carry most of the flavor as usual. Now for the two cons: $10 is expensive for a single 5oz bottle. And as usual their plastic caps occasionally don't survive shipping. If you're looking for something both bright and fruity but not nearly as hot, I highly suggest their Scotch Bonnet sauce.

I've been using this fine product almost daily for years. There are far hotter hot sauces. Naga jolokia (~1 million Scoville units, about three or four times as hot as a habañero; also called bhut jolokia and ghost pepper or ghost chili) was the hottest known chili until about a decade ago. Since then it has been surpassed in heat by the Infinity chili, the Naga Viper, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, and the Carolina Reaper. Melinda's trades away a bit of heat (it's still quite hot, but more like eating a habañero straight) to emphasize flavor, which IMO is superior to other 'hottest' hot sauces; obviously others may (and do) see this differently. Ordinarily I purchase this product locally, but that channel isn't conveniently available at present due to local and state mitigation rules. Amazon Prime delivered in slightly longer than the normal 'Prime time' of one or two days, but still much faster than some other Amazon purchases, which currently can take weeks to arrive. It cost about a couple of dollars more than buying it locally. As my dad would have said, "That should be the worst thing that happens to you today". So it's all good.

Für "normale" Menschen ist diese Sauce zu scharf. Für mich ist sie perfekt. Der fruchtige Geschmack ist super und nicht so künstlich wie viele Saucen. Ich wünschte diese Sauce würde in jedem Restaurant auf dem Tisch stehen.

Delicious hot sauce! Not the hottest, but the flavour is just so good. I can’t get it too often since it can’t ship internationally, so I stock up when possible.
