    What's inside (in order of heat level):

    Finger Lime x Jalapeño

    The feisty Finger Lime x Jalapeño is made with Australian native finger lime for its zing and pepperberry for its umami, then combined with bright jalapeños, slow-cooked onions, and garlic to deliver mild umami goodness. Not your usual jalapeño hot sauce.

    Heat Level — Mild
    Chillies — Jalapeño
    Try it with — Ceviche, tacos, scrambled eggs, cheese boards, salads



    Davidson Plum x Habanero

    The racy Davidson x Habanero champions Australia's native Davidson plum for a tangy kick, blends it with bold, fruity Habaneros, and rounds it off with ginger and muscovado sugar—delivering hot sauce lovers the perfect balance of pep and flavour.

    Heat Level — Medium
    Chillies — Habanero
    Try it with — Yogurt to make a dip, omelettes, chicken parmas, burgers, dumplings



    Kakadu x Jalapeño

    Hotter than your usual Jalapeño sauce, this one has aniseed tones. It heroes Kakadu plum and Jalapeño, spiked with some extra hot chillies for a little more kick. Pressed green apple juice makes for a sugar-free alternative, and it's finished with ginger, Vietnamese mint, coriander, and fennel giving the sauce a bright herby tone.

    Heat Level — Hot
    Chillies — Jalapeño and Extra Hot Chilli Mix
    Try it with — Pies, pho, soups, souvlakis, wraps, burgers



    Blood Lime x Scorpion

    This peppy, smoky sauce channels the essence of a barbecue without sticking to the script. It's built on the bold tang of blood lime and blood orange with a dash of rainforest lychee adding a tamarind tone. A dash of tamari brings a salty depth, while a touch of maple syrup delivers the sweetness you never knew your barbecue sauce was missing—perfect for those seeking something deep and bold.

    Heat Level — Very Hot
    Chillies — Scorpion
    Try it with — Ribs, sandwiches, beans, grilled tofu, marinades, pulled pork



    Desert Lime x Carolina

    The ouchy Desert Lime x Carolina sauce heroes Australian native desert lime, pepperberry, and the deadly Carolina Reaper. Add organic apple cider vinegar, garlic, and muscovado sugar for a giddy, caramelly flavour bomb.

    Heat Level — Super Hot
    Chillies — Carolina Reaper
    Try it with — Sangas, pies, toasties, swirled through hummus, Pico de Gallo
