Habanero Pilpel - Secret Stash

$14.00

“Pilpel “ is a nod to the dry spice blend, and this sauce is our love letter to one of the most overlooked, common spices - Black pepper. Fruity, tropical habaneros bring the heat while fresh serranos keep things bright. Toasty mustard seed adds a subtle fermented funk, fresh orange zest cuts through with citrus, and an unapologetic amount of cracked black pepper ties everything together.

It's bold, aromatic, and layered—the kind of sauce that keeps revealing something new with every bite.

Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (8.5/10)

How to Use It

For anyone who loves big flavor as much as big heat:

  • drizzle over grilled chicken, shawarma, sausages, or roasted vegetables

  • mix into aioli, mustard, or vinaigrettes for a pepper-forward kick

  • pair with soft cheeses, roasted potatoes, burgers, or sandwiches

  • splash into soups or grain bowls when black pepper just isn't enough

Ingredients: habaneros, serranos, black pepper, orange zest, mustard seed, dried mint, sea salt, water, chia seeds.
