[REVIEW] Red Clipper Green Papaya Mango & Pimento
Open this funky bottle, and before you chow down, take a really good sniff of this sauce, you're hit with the fruity papaya and mango aromas that get your mouth-watering. This is a chunky-style sauce with lots of pieces of fruit and chilli that you can bite straight into.

[REVIEW] Kaitaia Fire Chili Pepper Sauce
I discovered Kaitaia Fire on a trip to New Zealand about 5 years ago and have finally managed to get this stocked at ChilliBOM! All chillies are locally NZ grown in the "Winterless Far North" of Kaitaia, which is at the very North of the North Island of New Zealand.

ChilliBOM Red Box Summer 2019
Bang those bongos, this Red Box showcases three hot sauces from Fiji, Australia and NZ. Fiji Fire is the only known hot sauce made with the native Fijian Bongo chilli, and club members are the first to get exclusive access to this hot sauce in Australia. Kaitaia Fire is the last of our NZ features for 2019 and this one is a personal favourite, so I really hope you enjoy it, and if you haven’t been introduced to the Red Clipper range of hot sauces then say hello to the Habanero and Green Papaya. BONGO! BONGO! BONGO!

ChilliBOM Red Box Spring 2019
We had to physically break out of the box for this edition of the ChilliBOM Red Box! Mark from The Chilli Effect has been a long-time friend of ChilliBOM, and we have been wanting to feature this sauce for a while now, but it just wouldn’t fit no matter how hard we tried, so while Mark and I were wracking our brains over a beer (or two) to work out how to make this work, Mark came up with the great idea of just sending it outside the box…genius…and the ‘Out of the Box’ edition was born.

[REVIEW] The Chilli Effect Wizard's Lingering Burn
The inclusion of this hot sauce in the Spring 2019 Red Box is a long time coming! We started talking about it in late 2016 and the issue was that the bottle is too big for the ChilliBOM Red Box was built to hold the regular 150ml hot sauce bottles. So we tossed around a few ideas and then it got too hard then just decided over a beer one day not to even put it in the box and send it separately outside the box...pretty smart hey...well it shouldn't have taken almost 3 years to work it out! What really matters was getting this sauce in the hands of the ChilliBOMers as it is a cracking hot sauce.

[REVIEW] Orcona Fire in the Hole
I love trying hot sauce when travel and I discovered Orcona sauces while I was in NZ in 2018 in a corner store in the town of Whitford. After trying the sauces, I immediately got in contact with Tricia and Alvin about how we could get them onto the ChilliBOM store and into the Red Box.

[REVIEW] Changz Trinidad Yellow Hot Sauce
This is the second of the Changz range to feature in the ChilliBOM Red Box, the first was the Green Jalapeño in one of our very first boxes back in the of Summer 2017.
The Trinidad Yellow 7 Pot chilli is a fruiter, sweeter style of chilli that packs some serious heat and has been complemented perfectly with pineapple juice to enhance its fruitiness.

ChilliBOM Winter 2019 Red Box
The ‘Dimension’ edition Red Box features 3 hot sauces across the taste spectrum – savoury, smoky, sweet(ish) and all with a good dose of heat! We have an example of a sauce that uses a few simple ingredients to create layers of flavour to another that uses an abundance of ingredients to create a sauce with an intense depth of flavour and lastly a sauce that use a whole different “cooking” process to create dimension and complexity.

[Review] The Ferm Hot Sauce
The capsicum and chilli are definitely the heroes, each combining to give it a very earthy flavour, this then is finished off with a little hit of lime. The heat builds at the back of the throat and has a nice lingering burn thanks to the Ghost Pepper.

[REVIEW] Culley's Carolina Reaper Chipotle Hot Sauce
Culley's Carolina Reaper and Chipotle is a collaboration between Culley's NZ and the Pucker Butt Pepper Company USA, which is the home of the Carolina Reaper. This is a thick dark brown sauce with spices you can definitely see, and it has a noticeable smoky aroma from the chipotle. The abundance of ingredients is combined perfectly to create just the right balance and layers of sweet, tang, salty and of course smoky.
