Ausfahrt to Hell by Jordan Prince – We’re not averse to a cool collab from time to time, like the ones with EtenMetNick or with Sef & Faberyayo. We’ve added another one to the list, and this is our first international collaboration. This time with comedian Jordan Prince, a born American living in Germany. He’s been a hot sauce fan for a long time and regularly ordered from us. A logical result is this collaboration where we’ve created ‘his perfect hot sauce’. A base of bell pepper, complemented with Jalapeno, Chipotle in adobo, onion, garlic, super tasty and very versatile. Fantastic on chicken, but also on a bratwurst with sauerkraut, pasta, an egg, and so on.
Onima Lemon Ginger Jerk – The bottle itself already looks super cool, but the stuff inside is even cooler. With lemon, ginger, and fermented Scotch Bonnet peppers, it has a fresh & funky flavor, but at the same time, it also has a spicy taste that warms you up a bit. It’s somewhat reminiscent of pumpkin spice or allspice. That’s why it’s also a very suitable hot sauce for this time of year. Pour it on your chicken, fish, or into a curry, you won’t regret it!
Heatsupply’s Hot Honey – MUSTAAAAAAARD! Not only is this a quote from Kendrick Lamar’s hit TV Off, but it’s also something I’ve been shouting occasionally for years. You see, I’m quite the mustard fan. Sandwiches, burgers, sausage rolls (I’m a Brabander after all), everything gets better with mustard. In this case, we’re talking about spicy mustard, because this Spicy Mustard from Piko Peppers is simply an excellent mustard-style hot sauce that’s delicious with all of the above.

Karma Holé Molé – With the cold winter months approaching, this is an incredible sauce. Ingredients like 100% pure Mexican chocolate and sweet, dark fruits such as blackcurrants, figs, mulberries, and plums provide the warmth you’ll need in the coming months. The spiciness is subtle, but the richness of flavors is unparalleled. In addition to habanero, they’ve added Guajillo & Ancho for a smoky touch. It’s truly exceptionally delicious. Fantastic on a taco, but also perfect in stews.
ONIMA Cajun Sumac – My first bottle was empty within 2 weeks! ONIMA Cajun Sumac has an addictive savory flavor, but also a considerable tanginess. I love that in tomato sauces and pasta dishes. The heat level is medium, which also makes it widely applicable. Its versatility is truly impressive, enhancing a variety of dishes with its perfect balance of flavors.
Heatsupply’s Hot Honey – Getting high on our own supply, that certainly applies to this product. It’s our very own hot honey, after all. Since this product is literally flying off the shelves, we recently had to make a new batch, and it got even better. I drizzle it over pizza, in curries, on pancakes, and of course, (fried) chicken. Warning: once you start, you can’t live without it.
