Reaper Roja is Nomad's fiercest sauce — the original Roja blend cranked up with Carolina Reaper, one of the hottest chillies on earth. Local produce meets imported Mexican chilli, six weeks of ferment give it real flavour under the fire, and it took Silver at the 2024 Melbourne Royal food awards. This one is for chilliheads who still want a sauce worth tasting.
Mango and tomato sweetness lands first, then habanero, guajillo and pasilla build the familiar Roja depth — before the Carolina Reaper arrives and takes over with a serious, lingering Hub Heat 9/11 burn. Fruity and smoky, then genuinely fierce.
A deep red, pourable sauce that looks just like the original Roja — right up until it bites. Start with a drop, not a dash.
Ingredients: Tomato, onion, habanero, guajillo, pasilla, Carolina reaper, mango, carrot, chipotle, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sea salt, black pepper, xanthan gum.
Dietary: Gluten free, dairy free and vegan, as stated on the label. Naturally fermented, no artificial preservatives as described by the maker. Allergens and full statement — always check the physical label.
How hot is Reaper Roja? It's a genuine Hub Heat 9/11 — built on Carolina Reaper, it's Nomad's hottest sauce and best treated a drop at a time.
Is Reaper Roja gluten free? Yes — the label states it is gluten free, dairy free and vegan. Always check the physical label if you have a severe allergy.
What do you use Reaper Roja on? Use it sparingly to fire up slow-cooked beef, tacos, chilli, marinades and anything on the grill that can carry serious heat.
Handle this cargo with respect. Coat a brisket in Butchers Axe Bullseye Beef Rub and smoke it low till it probes like butter, then let the table add heat with a drop of Reaper Roja and a smear of Uncle Mungo's Habanero Ketchup. A drop at a time — this one doesn't negotiate.
