Congo B Pepper Sauce is built around the Congo Black — better known as the Chocolate Habanero — a Trinidad-origin chilli that runs well past a standard habanero on the Scoville scale. Cobra Chilli sourced it fresh and 100% Australian, then let it do the work in a straight-up vinegar-and-salt base. This one's for cooks who've worked through the habanero sauces in the cupboard and want the next step up.
Sharp vinegar arrives first, bright and clean. Then the Congo Black takes over with a deep, dark, almost earthy chilli character — richer and more brooding than a regular red habanero. The finish is where it earns its name: a ferocious, lingering heat that sits well above typical habanero sauces and takes its time to fade.
A thin, vinegar-based liquid with the deep reddish-brown hue of the Congo Black chilli at its core.
Ingredients: Vinegar, Fresh Congo Black (Chocolate Habanero) Chilli (30%), Sea Salt
Dietary: Gluten free, vegan and vegetarian, made with 100% Australian ingredients — always check the physical label.
Splash sauces are for finishing, not cooking, so this one goes on after the knife. Smoke a brisket rubbed with The Feedlot Black Angus Rub, slice it into tacos, mop the slices with a little Kosmos Q OP-X 1 BBQ Sauce, then a few shakes of Congo B over the top. The vinegar cuts the fat; the heat does the rest.
