Review: Torchbearer Sauces -- Mechanicsburg, PA

Friday, October 23, 2009 ·

Spicy food is probably one of my favorite things to eat in the world. I was absolutely thrilled when I ran across a Pennsylvania Preferred local purveyor of hot sauce.

Torchbearer Sauces, LLC is based out of Mechanicsburg, PA and is run by three local guys who were bored and had a bunch of extra Habanero peppers in their garden. They messed around and made their own sauce. Once they tasted it, they realized they had something that was not only unique – but better than anything else on the market.
They were correct.

The sauce I’m focusing on today is the Torchbearer Ultimate Annihilation Sauce. It isn’t an extract sauce like many others on the market… meaning its ingredients are used whole and not as processed. This is one of the hottest natural hot sauce in the world. Also one of the best tasting.



Cost: $20.00

Ingredients:
Bhut Jolokia, Chocolate Habanero Peppers, Carrots, Mandarin Oranges, Tomatoes, Vinegar, Garlic, Sugar, and other all-natural spices.

The Bhut Jolokia pepper – also known as the Ghost Pepper in India, has a rating of roughly 1,000,000 Scoville units. It is certified by the Guinness World Records as the world’s hottest chile pepper.

Most hot sauces – especially the ones that are this hot are not enjoyable to eat. I’m very pleased to announce that the Ultimate Annihilation sauce is delicious. Good for my tastebuds, perhaps not as fantastic for my stomach the next morning.

I’m working on a few recipes to use this sauce in… but I’ll tell you flat out. Put it on everything. You’ll love it.

Bottom Line: They have many other sauces and I’ve tried a few of them. While all of them taste great, if you really want to light a fire in your mouth, go with the Ultimate Annihilation. It's a little pricy at $20.00 a 5oz bottle, but those 5oz really have legs. Since it is so potent, you use a lot less.

Enjoy!
