The Black Widow is a chef-developed balsamic chilli sauce built around layers of sweetness, smoke and serious heat.

Carrot and brown sugar provide a rich, rounded sweetness, balanced by the depth and acidity of balsamic. Fire-roasted red peppers add a gentle smokiness before four chillies build the heat in stages — Scotch bonnet, naga, ghost and finally scorpion chilli.

Despite its strength, Black Widow is designed as a flavour sauce first. The combination creates a deep, complex sauce with sweetness at the front, savoury richness through the middle and a powerful chilli finish that lingers.

Use sparingly with steak, burgers, pizza, prawns or eggs, or add a little to marinades and sauces when you want both depth and serious heat.
