4.0 out of 5 stars The Hottest of the Hot (for now), February 16, 2009

It seems like there is a new "Hottest Pepper in the World" every couple of years or so. Not too long ago it was the Red Savinaź Habanero with a Scoville heat rating of 577,000 units. Then it was the Dorset Naga which was rated from 876,00 to 970,000 units. Now it is the Naga Jolokia (also known as the Naga Morris, Nai Miris, Bih Jolokia and Bhut Jolokia) with a whopping 1,001,304 Scoville Heat Units according to the New Mexico State University Chile Pepper Institute. In February 2007, Guinness World Records certified the Bhut Jolokia (aka Naga Jolokia) as the hottest pepper in the world. It is reportedly called the "Ghost Pepper" because after one bite of the pepper you "give up the ghost".

Now Dave's Gourmet has made a sauce from this serious pepper. This is nothing to fool around with, it will cause pain, a lot of pain. So why would anybody want a sauce that hot (other than for bravado)? I for one like the taste. It is a little smokier that Habanero. I also use it in sauces where I want heat but not the red color of chili peppers, such as a cream based sauce. Since it only takes a drop to give me the heat that I want it will hardly change the color of a white sauce.

My only reservations about it is that it contains hot pepper extract (which is what they call the stuff that they spray in the eyes of criminals). I've seen hot pepper extract for sale as a commercial additive. It's low on flavor but big on heat. Was this added to give the sauce extra pain inducing heat while using fewer actual Jolokia peppers? I don't know but it makes you think. Dave also has a special edition sauce that uses the Bhut Jolokia pepper and cost about four times more than this one does. I like this sauce, but use with caution.

By	Nathaniel A. Getchey - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i buy hot sauces for my friends to try i like them as well this stuff is the reason a little bit goes a long way was coined as a phrase when ni got the bottle i did the finger test where as you put your fing over the bottle and shake it that was a grave error on my behalf i have never had something that could cure cancer before but this stuff may be the answer i dont have or never had cancer but this stuff is so hot that my friend who would drink hot sauce couldnt handle it he was asking for bread and milk and what ever else i had to take the burn away so read the label and believe it
