When we say this is playing with fire, we’re not kidding! On the Scoville Scale, Naga Viper peppers measure 1.3 million SHU.įor our Flamin’ Naga Chilli Sauce, we use a combination of plump peaches and Indian jolokia naga chillies to create a lip tingling sauce with a fabulous fruity hot flavour. We use three of the hottest chillis on the Scoville Scale to create you super spicy and delicious sauces that are absolutely guaranteed to turn up the heat! What is a Naga chilli on the Scoville scale Speaking of human tasters, fancy a taste? We make a fire breathing range of Smokin’ Hot Sauces at Cottage Delight, perfect for you to test your chilli heat limits! From Stingin’ Scorpion Chilli, Kickin’ Carolina Reaper and Flamin’ Naga Chilli Sauce, we have the ultimate taste testers for you. Scoville heat units (SHUs) are simply a measurement of the number of times capsaicin needs to be diluted by sugar-water, so a panel of human taste-testers can’t detect the heat of the pepper.īecause human palates vary so widely, today a process known as High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is used as a more scientifically accurate way of measuring capsaicin concentration than human tasters. What the scale actually measures is the amount of capsaicin (the chemical found in peppers) that makes your tongue burn, your body sweat and your ears ache if you were to eat a pepper high on the Scoville Scale. The Carolina Reaper, now famously known as the world’s hottest chili pepper, averages 1,569,300 SHU on the Scoville Scale with levels that even peak over 2,200,000 SHU. An American pharmacist, Wilbur Scoville, originally developed the Scoville Organoleptic Test in 1912 as a way to quantify the burn (spiciness, heat) of various peppers.
