Ground paprika - Chilli paste

Brutal natural heat — hotter than Da Bomb, but without extracts!

A thick, brutally hot superhot paste – pure chilli essence.

Gargamel’s is made from over 1 kg of the world's hottest chillies, including:

• Carolina Reaper

• Scorpion

• Habanero

• other superhot varieties

All with seeds and placenta — where most of the capsaicin is found.

Only added:

• garlic

• fresh lemon + lime

• apple cider vinegar

• a little salt

No capsaicin extract.
No additives.
No dilution.

The result is a thick paste reminiscent of ajvar in texture, but dozens of times hotter.

• deep, natural aroma of superhot chillies
