[REVIEW] Kaitaia Fire Chili Pepper Sauce
I discovered Kaitaia Fire on a trip to New Zealand about 5 years ago and have finally managed to get this stocked at ChilliBOM! All chillies are locally NZ grown in the "Winterless Far North" of Kaitaia, which is at the very North of the North Island of New Zealand.

ChilliBOM Red Box Summer 2019
Bang those bongos, this Red Box showcases three hot sauces from Fiji, Australia and NZ. Fiji Fire is the only known hot sauce made with the native Fijian Bongo chilli, and club members are the first to get exclusive access to this hot sauce in Australia. Kaitaia Fire is the last of our NZ features for 2019 and this one is a personal favourite, so I really hope you enjoy it, and if you haven’t been introduced to the Red Clipper range of hot sauces then say hello to the Habanero and Green Papaya. BONGO! BONGO! BONGO!

ChilliBOM Red Box Spring 2019
We had to physically break out of the box for this edition of the ChilliBOM Red Box! Mark from The Chilli Effect has been a long-time friend of ChilliBOM, and we have been wanting to feature this sauce for a while now, but it just wouldn’t fit no matter how hard we tried, so while Mark and I were wracking our brains over a beer (or two) to work out how to make this work, Mark came up with the great idea of just sending it outside the box…genius…and the ‘Out of the Box’ edition was born.

[REVIEW] Orcona Fire in the Hole
I love trying hot sauce when travel and I discovered Orcona sauces while I was in NZ in 2018 in a corner store in the town of Whitford. After trying the sauces, I immediately got in contact with Tricia and Alvin about how we could get them onto the ChilliBOM store and into the Red Box.

ChilliBOM Winter 2019 Red Box
The ‘Dimension’ edition Red Box features 3 hot sauces across the taste spectrum – savoury, smoky, sweet(ish) and all with a good dose of heat! We have an example of a sauce that uses a few simple ingredients to create layers of flavour to another that uses an abundance of ingredients to create a sauce with an intense depth of flavour and lastly a sauce that use a whole different “cooking” process to create dimension and complexity.

[REVIEW] Culley's Carolina Reaper Chipotle Hot Sauce
Culley's Carolina Reaper and Chipotle is a collaboration between Culley's NZ and the Pucker Butt Pepper Company USA, which is the home of the Carolina Reaper. This is a thick dark brown sauce with spices you can definitely see, and it has a noticeable smoky aroma from the chipotle. The abundance of ingredients is combined perfectly to create just the right balance and layers of sweet, tang, salty and of course smoky.

[REVIEW] Kaitaia Fire Waha Wera Kiwifruit and Habanero Sauce
The unusual combination of Kiwifruit and Habanero at first glance might seem a bit strange, and guess what it is, but this hot sauce completely over delivers both from a flavour and heat perspective. The kiwifruit gives this sauce a really fresh and unique fruity flavour as well as that striking green colour.

[REVIEW] Culley's Ghost Chilli Bhut Jolokia Hot Sauce
I have been enjoying Culley's Hot Sauces for a few years now and got to try some of their range again at the 2017 Herb & Chilli Festival in Wandin Victoria. This one was a stand out for me because it reminds me of a tomato chutney but the weird thing is there are no tomatoes!
