Say hello to Hog Roast, a Warthog hot sauce that brings serious heat and a fantastic depth of flavour.
Bred by Matthew Arthur, the Warthog could be one of the hottest chillies in the world. I grew this monster through my 2025 season and the pod I tried live on stream was the hottest chilli I have ever eaten. So, of course, I had to make a sauce with it.
After fermenting the chillies for nine months, I blended them with cardamom and white wine vinegar. That long, slow ferment builds a real depth of flavour and the cardamom adds a warm, fragrant note that sits right alongside the heat. This is SERIOUSLY hot.
Treat it with respect, a little goes a long way.

Just received my Hog Roast – it’s absolutely great! Very rare to find a really hot sauce that is so delicious. You’ve really nailed that, nice one!

The Hog Roast Sauce arrived today, very well packed and in pristine condition. It was even sealed at the top with the plastic sealer. Sauce is hot but leaves a really nice taste in your mouth. Easy to eat but don’t be fooled it has a real kick. Goes really well with chicken we found. We are using it like piri piri and adding the hog roast sauce to mayo etc to spice it up a bit. Will try it on pork next week.
