How is the spiciness of Kawoekie Souse sauces measured? What is the Scoville scale?
We use the Scoville scale to estimate heat levels. For example, Bird’s Eye chilies can reach between 25 000 and 35 000 SHU, and ghost peppers can hit 1 800 000 SHU. Each Kawoekie Souse product is labelled with a heat level from 1 to 10 – so you know what you’re getting into.
Which Kawoekie Souse sauces are the hottest and which are milder?
In the Chili Sous lineup, Bird’s Eye Chili Oil starts things off with a subtle infused warmth. Lekker Warm brings gentle, everyday heat. In the middle, you’ll find Knoffelgat, our garlicky firestarter, and HolBrand, sharp and tangy with a fresh basil bite. Bird’s Eye Chili Mash kicks it up with bold, earthy depth. Then come the Habaneros: Sjoe!!! is a sweet, sharp hit of raw Habanero intensity, while Habanero Chili Mash and Pureé offer a slower, deeper burn that lingers long after the first taste. From smooth to scorching, pick your burn and pour it on.
