Arigatou Gozaimiso
by Chicos Farm
That umami flavour bomb packed with serious heat you never knew you needed. The savoury beast from the East, Arigato Gozaimiso, pays homage to the rich, complex flavours of South and East Asian cuisine. It’s a deep dive into umami, blending tangy, savoury, sweet, salty, citric, and earthy notes, all brought together with serious heat in one unforgettable bottle. Fermented with hoisin, fish sauce, lime, lemongrass, and powered by our signature Naga Vipers, Brazilian Ghost Peppers, and a finish of Red Carolina Reapers, it delivers both full flavour and full fire. Expect an umami-rich flavour journey with smoky, deep earthy tones, and crisp savoury bursts, balanced by zesty citrus and a touch of sweetness. We’ve been caught “smuggling” bottles into our favourite ramen spot, but at home it’s a go-to for stir-fried rice, noodle bowls, or as a dipping sauce (mix it with soy!) for gyozas or summer rolls. Rumour has it, it’s also great on schnitzel... hey, we don’t judge.
Not Your Abuela's Sauce
by Chicos Farm
Suave, zesty, smoky hot sauce with just the right amount of fuego. Cue up the music, because your mouth is about to sing. Inspired by a recipe from a real Mexican abuela, this is our signature Mexican-based sauce. Fermented con mucho amor, sweet peppers, tomatoes, smoked dried chillies, orange, dried cumin and coriander seeds, cinnamon, and our very own homegrown Red Big Mama, Yellow Scorpion Butch-T, and just a touch of Red Carolina Reaper, just enough to keep things interesting without overwhelming. Not Your Abuela’s brings your food to life with a deep citrusy-smoky flavour and a crisp, slightly sweet edge. Please try not to use it all on your tacos or chilli. Save some to liven up your grilled meat, roasted veggies, potatoes, or even just a piece of bread (no judgment).

Historia y cultura
UK grower Gerald Fowler at the Chilli Pepper Company bred the Naga Viper through repeated backcrossing of Naga Morich, Ghost Pepper, and Trinidad Scorpion. Guinness recognized it as the world’s hottest in 2011, though it has since been surpassed. The pepper’s fame sparked global interest in British-grown superhots and inspired countless challenge products.
