World Hot Sauce Challenge – Luxury 12-Sauce Gift Set

12 world flavours. 14 Great Taste stars. How far can you go? 🔥🌍

Gather your favourite people and take the Chilli No. 5 World Hot Sauce Challenge. This luxury hot sauce gift set takes you on a culinary adventure through 12 internationally inspired sauces, with the heat rising as you travel from England to a fiery African finale.

Explore authentic world sauce traditions, discover interesting ingredients and turn your table into a tasting game. From gentle warmth to intense chilli heat, every stop offers a different flavour, a new food pairing and something to talk about.

A Hot Sauce Challenge to Enjoy Together

Make it a dinner-party game, a couples’ night in, a barbecue with friends or a family discovery around the table. Taste each sauce, guess the ingredients, compare the heat and choose your favourites.

Everyone can take part at their own pace. Enjoy the flavours, find your perfect pairing and decide how far you want to go.

How to Play the Hot Sauce Challenge

1. Prepare your tasting table. Put out small bites of bread, vegetables or your favourite sharing foods, with a separate spoon or dish for each sauce.
2. Begin with the milder flavours. Follow the tasting journey, starting with a small amount of each sauce.
3. Guess the ingredients. Can you identify the fruit, herbs and spices behind each flavour?
4. Score each stop. Rate the flavour and heat, then compare everyone’s reactions.
5. Find the winning pairing. Try the sauces with different foods and choose your favourite combination.

There’s no need to finish every stage to enjoy the adventure. Parents can introduce children to small tastes of the milder sauces where appropriate, leaving the hottest stages to adults. Check each sauce’s ingredients and allergens before tasting.
