This bold riff on Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce features the same silky texture and bright flavor as the original—but with three times as much habanero, you’ll delight in the added (but nuanced) spice. While far from tame, Extra Spicy Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce isn't designed for daredevils interested in pushing their Scoville intake to the limit, either. It’s about balance.

Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce sits at 1230 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) while the extra spicy edition reaches 1620 SHU: the yellow habanero gives a fruity kick. Exact spice levels may vary from batch to batch.

About Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce, Extra Spicy

Stone-milling lends a level of texture, warmth, and roundness to the picture that you just can't achieve with a modern blender. It allows us to pulverize the particles so finely that the resulting paste is ganache-smooth and glossy, avoiding any off-flavors from blade friction at the same time.

Try Extra Spicy Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce anywhere you use hot sauce already, from barbecued fish and vegetables to fried eggs and salads.

To make our Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce, we gather ingredients during their peak season. In winter, we harvest the Yuzu fruit and preserve its zest to capture it when it’s most aromatic. In summer, we harvest sweet corn, fruity habanero chiles, and the tender, green branches of the blackcurrant bush. We infuse the branches to create our fresh Blackcurrant Wood Oil (also featured in our Forager’s Vinaigrette). We blend them all together to create a textured, fruity, and aromatic hot sauce.

Enjoy it anywhere you use hot sauce already, we think it’s especially delicious for barbecue because its brightness pairs well with grilled fish and vegetables.

Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce was created in noma’s test kitchen as part of a challenge to the five-person team. Each member was tasked to develop two unique and creative hot sauces over two days. Out of several strong contenders of varying viscosities, heat levels and compositions, this recipe for Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce was the favorite. To date, noma has yet to use it in a menu at the restaurant, so this is our first product to come straight out of the test kitchen to your home.
