Melinda's Naga Jolokia Hot Sauce, 5 Oz

I love the taste of this fire breathing dragon sauce! A little goes a long way so it’s economical. Melinda’s is the best. I use 4 or 5 different sauces they make and have never been disappointed!

This hot sauce is fantastic in so many things. My son was adding to his pasta sauce. Let me tell you it adds another dimension of flavor. I’ve purchased this set multiple times already. We always have a bottle in the refrigerator.

I love the heat and flavor of this sauce! I like to sometimes have it on its own when cutting through really greasy foods, or mix it with sauces and soups when I want some of the smoky flavor and the kick. It isn't as spicy as Dave's Ultimate Insanity hot sauce, so I go through these bottles a bit quicker. If you've never put a few drops of this on your pizza or in your spaghetti, you should definitely give it a try.

This sauce will haunt you. I bought a bottle on sale somewhere in an impulsive purchase. Liked it okay. A year or two later I had to find another bottle, like it was priority number one. Now I can’t go without one in use and at least one on backup. I have a bottle at work and one at my in-laws house. Anywhere I eat regularly I have a bottle of this hot sauce. So if you don’t want to live with this haunting crave, do not impulsive purchase this product or you will have a hard time enjoying food without it. Perfect balance of heat and flavor.

I've been using this fine product almost daily for years. There are far hotter hot sauces. Naga jolokia (~1 million Scoville units, about three or four times as hot as a habañero; also called bhut jolokia and ghost pepper or ghost chili) was the hottest known chili until about a decade ago. Since then it has been surpassed in heat by the Infinity chili, the Naga Viper, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, and the Carolina Reaper. Melinda's trades away a bit of heat (it's still quite hot, but more like eating a habañero straight) to emphasize flavor, which IMO is superior to other 'hottest' hot sauces; obviously others may (and do) see this differently.Ordinarily I purchase this product locally, but that channel isn't conveniently available at present due to local and state mitigation rules. Amazon Prime delivered in slightly longer than the normal 'Prime time' of one or two days, but still much faster than some other Amazon purchases, which currently can take weeks to arrive. It cost about a couple of dollars more than buying it locally.As my dad would have said, "That should be the worst thing that happens to you today". So it's all good.

I am a heat junkie with a preference for Naga Jolokia hot sauces. I have tried numerous Naga Jolokia hot sauces, including Dave's Ghost Pepper, The Ghost Hot Suace, and the Tropical Pepper Company Naga Jolokia.Out of all the Naga Jolokia sauces I have tried, this one has the best flavor. The Naga Jolokia hot sauces tend to have a bitter and astringent flavor. This sauce brings out a much more mild, smooth flavor that I really enjoy.The downside of this sauce is that it isn't that hot for a Naga Jolokia sauce. Many of the other reviewers rave about how scorching this hot sauce is, but in my experience this is by far the mildest Naga Jolokia sauce I've had. I still use it a lot because I love the flavor, but I go through it at least 5 times faster than the other Naga Jolokia sauces since I use so much of it to try and hit a decent heat level.

Great flavor.

Great flavor and great price.
