19 awards, three years, one independent jury after another
What makes the best chilli sauce in the world? Not just heat, but the interplay of flavour, balance and craft. That's exactly what independent expert juries judge at the toughest competitions in the industry: the Scovie Awards, the Great Taste Awards and the Flave Awards. And that's exactly where our sauces have kept winning — not once by chance, but year after year.
Between 2024 and 2026, six of our products placed a total of 19 times across these three competitions. Among them: three golds at the Scovie Awards for our Gurkerlfee alone. That's not a one-off hit — it's a pattern.

Gurkerlfee — our most-awarded product, on the podium three years running
No other product in our range has been as consistently successful as our Gurkerlfee: placed at the Scovie Awards three years in a row, awarded gold twice over in 2026 alone, plus bronze at the Flave Awards on top. A jury that puts the same sauce on the podium year after year — that's exactly the confirmation we hope for with every new jar. We'd call it the best chilli sauce in the world.
Sonniger Süden — in the top tier from its very first review
Gold at the Scovie Awards straight away in 2024, two further placements in 2025, plus an award at the Great Taste Awards. This sauce showed where it belonged from its very first competition.
ReapRacha — our hottest sauce, awarded three times over
Silver at the Flave Awards, two stars at the Great Taste Awards, and a placement at the 2026 Scovie Awards — remarkable for a sauce meant exclusively for experienced chiliheads. ReapRacha is the hottest hot sauce in our own range, and even at this extreme heat, it won over an expert jury.
Chilicrack — awarded right at market launch
Bronze at the Flave Awards and a star at the Great Taste Awards — both already in its first full year on the market. Few products manage that right out of the gate.
Drachenblut and Süße Versuchung — two more proof points
Two further Scovie placements for our dragon fruit hot sauce, plus silver at the Scovie Awards and bronze at the Flave Awards for our mango chilli chutney. Here too: no lucky hits, but repeated confirmation from independent expert juries.
