Description
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.
10 Health Benefits of the King of Peppers
Beyond the world-record sting, the high concentration of capsaicin offers significant medicinal rewards. Every bottle supports:
- Mood Elevation: Experience a natural endorphin boost that helps brighten your day with every spicy bite
- Metabolic Support: Infused with capsaicin, our sauce provides a natural way to support a healthy metabolism.
- Cardiovascular Wellness: Contains beneficial compounds that contribute to overall heart health as part of a balanced diet.
- Comforting Relief: Capsaicin is widely recognized for its ability to provide natural, temporary relief from minor aches and discomfort.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Packed with potent chili-derived antioxidants known to help the body manage inflammation.
- Sinus Clarity: Enjoy the immediate, clearing sensation that helps promote clear, comfortable breathing.
- Antioxidant Powerhouse: Rich in natural antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and support cellular health.
- Digestive Aid: A zesty way to help support healthy digestion and stimulate the palate.
- Circulatory Support: Supports healthy blood flow and circulation, helping you feel energized.
- Immune System Boost: Loaded with vitamins and capsaicin to provide essential support to your immune system.

How to Use (With Extreme Caution)
A little goes a long way with the King of Heat; often, a single drop is enough to transform an entire dish. This sauce pairs perfectly with anything, including eggs, pork, red meat, poultry, seafood, and much more!
- Breakfast with a Kick: Add a single drop to your morning eggs or avocado toast for an instant wake-up call.
- The Grill Master’s Secret: Brush it onto pork ribs, red meat, or poultry during the last few minutes of grilling for a caramelized, spicy crust.
- Seafood with Zest: Elevate seafood dishes by mixing a tiny amount into shrimp tacos or grilled fish glazes.
- The Final Touch: Add one drop to your chili, stews, or bold marinades for a deep, lingering heat that lasts.
Warning: This is an extremely hot product. Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive areas. Keep away from children and pets. Handle with caution.

3 reviews for Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce
Pepper description
Stand down Trinidadian Moruga Scorpion, there’s a new hottest pepper in the world in town according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The Carolina Reaper kicks super-hot peppers into another stratosphere.
This is an extremely hot chili pepper developed by a grower named Ed Currie, and is currently the hottest pepper in the world. It is also called HP22B pepper. As of 2013 it was over 7 generations old. Ed created this chili pepper plant variety by crossing a Pakistani Naga (Ghost Pepper) with a Red Habanero type from St Vincents Island in the West Indies. It was bred in South Carolina and tested at over 2.2 Million Scoville Heat Units (with an average of 1,641,000 SHU) by Winthrop University.
Flavor Profile & The Heat Experience
This “thing” called the Carolina Reaper (AKA HP22B) is better described as the demon pepper child that was invented by man. There is nothing normal about this pepper because it was bred for heat and that it is. Oddly enough, this pepper has excellent flavor as well.
In fact, at its extreme, the Carolina Reaper is hotter than typical pepper spray. That’s insanity in edible form. Despite the extremely scorching heat of this super hot pepper, the Carolina Reaper is surprisingly fruity and sweet. It is outstanding as a dried powder for adding both heat and flavor, and also as a sauce or hot sauce.
Heat threshold and sensitivity varies from person to person, so although there is little consensus on how hot is hot, we can get an objective estimate by looking at a chile’s Scoville score. A Scoville is a unit of measurement named for Wilbur Scoville, inventor of the test that measures these things. A mild chile, such as an Anaheim, is around 500 units, while the fierce chiles can clock in around 500,000 units. The aforementioned Carolina Reaper clocks in at a staggering 2.2 million SHUs. Shew boy.
Nutritional Value & Health Benefits
Yes, spicy heat hits the spot in the South, but those potent potions might be doing us more good than we realized. Research suggests that there are health benefits to chile consumption. From their capsaicinoids, to be more specific, which are the fiery compounds inside hot peppers that give them their oomph, from a hint to a wallop. Paradoxically, capsaicinoids are tasteless, so when we say that a chile pepper tastes hot, what we really mean is that it is irritating and aggravating our mouth, lips, eyes, and all the tender things from stem to stern.
The good news is that we don’t have to duel with something as wicked as a Carolina Reaper to still reap benefits. Researchers are working on linking hot peppers to pain management and to the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, weight loss and cancer. Here’s some of what they’ve found so far, but keep in mind that you should always seek guidance and corroboration from a medical professional.
Health benefits notwithstanding, eating hot chile peppers brings joy to some of us. Embracing the burn makes us feel robust, burly, and indomitable. That’s bound to do us some good. No matter what hot sauce brings to the table, we’re going to keep bringing it to the table.

Rick K –
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.

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

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!
