Over the years of operating a ‘Hot Saucery’, we’ve heard a few similar questions asked by our customers.
Here’s a list of them.
We made “Mean Jalapeno” with you in mind, and we’ve seen friends and family who ‘just cant handle the heat‘ graduate to hot sauce fanatics using our Mean Jalapeno as a stepping stone! Yes, really!
The best part about hot sauce is you can pour as much or as little as you’d like. That helps too.
The Habgoblin believes in you! Look at that face. Pure confidence.
At the moment, It is our “Smoky Ghost” Sauce.
Made with the notorious Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia Pepper) which at this time stands as the 7th hottest pepper in the world, clocking in with a 1,041,427 Scoville Heat Unit rating (SHU).
Not at this time, but we’re looking into it as more of you ask!
Scoville ratings are a popular method of measuring the perceived heat of a pepper or sauce. With the advent of “High-performance liquid chrometography” getting a scoville rating is becoming more accessible as the traditional method was hard to track down.
For now you can use the Scoville Heat Unit ratings of our peppers to gauge your interest:
– Jalapeno: 2,500-8,000 SHU
– Habanero: 150,000-575,000 SHU
– Ghost Pepper: 800,000-1,000,000 SHU
Our sauces have a shelf life of 1 year from production date.
For best longevity store in a cool, dry location while sealed and refrigerate after opening.
On our most recent stock there will be a stamp code on the bottle like this example which shows the batch number, and best by date:
#100 bb 00/00

Yes, just give it a good shake and it’s good to go!
Habgoblin Hot Sauce is naturally made with real food ingredients, including our emulsifiers which are responsible for binding oils and liquids in the sauce. We are a small batch operation, and the consistency may vary from batch to batch. After some time undisturbed you may see this separation occur.
Not to worry, it’s completely safe.
