Flavor, up close

Big flavor. Longer fire.

The same toasted, savory foundations as Habanero Koji, with Trinidad Scorpion peppers taking the heat much further. Rice koji, onion, garlic and smoked paprika build the flavor; aged sherry vinegar brings it into balance.

Our super-hot. Begin with a few drops, taste, and build from there.

The finishSilky, savory and long on the finish.

Trinidad Scorpion

Real fermented peppers deliver the intensity. No capsaicin extract.

Toasted rice koji

A deep, savory base with onion, garlic and smoked paprika.

Sherry vinegar

A rounded lift that keeps the rich base balanced.

Now, put it on something

A few drops. A whole new dinner.

Best with rich food that can carry the heat. Start small.

A bowl of chili

Add a few drops to a finished bowl with sharp cheddar and green onions.

Slow-cooked comfort

Stir a little into a rich braise or serve alongside brisket and pork shoulder.

Turn up the richness

Add sparingly to mac and cheese for a deep, toasty kick.

Beef and bean chili topped with sour cream and three small drops of Scorpion Koji hot sauce.

A little more detail

Curious about something?

How does it compare with Habanero Koji?

Both share a toasted rice koji, sherry vinegar and smoked paprika base. Scorpion Koji swaps in Trinidad Scorpion peppers for much more intensity. If you want that savory character with less heat, start with Habanero Koji.

Does it contain pepper extract?

No. The heat comes from fermented Trinidad Scorpion peppers, with no capsaicin extract.
