The world's great hot chilli
Bhut Jolokia — the Ghost Pepper, Naga Jolokia, or Bih Jolokia — held the Guinness World Record for the hottest chilli from 2007 to 2011 and remains the most famous superhot in food. Native to Nagaland, Assam, and Manipur in north-eastern India, it carries a Geographical Indication (GI) tag that restricts the name to genuine regional cultivars. We source from indigenous grower cooperatives in Kohima and Mon districts, preserving origin integrity and paying a premium to the farmers who've kept the variety alive.
