Heiße Schokolade is a deep brown chilli sauce with an unusual character. Habanero Chocolate from our own growing meets Chocolate Beauty pepper and balsamic vinegar. Together they create a layered aroma with a fine sweetness and a flavour reminiscent of dark chocolate.
At heat level 5 out of 12, the sauce brings plenty of fire while staying well-balanced. Sweetness, acidity, bold chilli aroma and heat work together in harmony, so it's not just the heat but the flavour that takes centre stage.
Made for bold dishes
Heiße Schokolade gives goulash and chilli con carne extra depth and a pleasantly spicy edge. Its bold, slightly sweet character also pairs beautifully with game, dark meat and juicy steak.
You can stir the sauce in while cooking, serve it directly with the finished dish, or use it sparingly to adjust the seasoning. It works especially well with dishes that already bring bold roasted flavours or hearty sauces of their own. A fitting dish is our original kettle goulash with chilli.
Why does the sauce taste like chocolate?
The sauce contains no actual chocolate. The chocolatey impression comes from the interplay of Habanero Chocolate, dark Chocolate Beauty pepper and balsamic vinegar. That gives the sauce its deep brown colour and its dark, slightly sweet flavour. According to the ingredient list, the chilli content is 25 %; the contents are 100 grams.
Dark chillies from our own growing
The Habanero Chocolate chillies for this sauce come from our own growing. Together with Chocolate Beauty pepper and balsamic vinegar, we process them in-house into a chilli sauce that stands apart visually and in flavour from classic red sauces.
The result is a special balance of heat, fine sweetness and dark aromas – for chilli fans, meat lovers and adventurous home cooks. We also offer both varieties as young plants: the chocolate-brown Habanero Chocolate with around 250,000–425,000 SHU and the mild bell pepper Chocolate Beauty.
In the Käsekenner Set
For raclette, fondue and cheese boards, Heiße Schokolade is part of the Käsekenner Set together with Süße Versuchung and Gurkerlfee – at heat level 5 out of 12, it's the hottest of the three. You'll find more sauces from mild to extremely hot among our chilli sauces.
Our serving tip
Add a small amount of Heiße Schokolade to your goulash or chilli con carne, then taste and adjust. With steak, you can serve the sauce on the side so everyone can decide the heat for themselves.
