Understanding the Carolina Reaper Pepper
Our story begins with the star of this fiery show, the Carolina Reaper Pepper. Named after the Grim Reaper himself, this little pepper sure packs a punch! It hails from the heart of South Carolina, the brainchild of cultivator Ed Currie. In 2013, the Guinness World Record recognized this blistering pepper as the world’s hottest.
The Carolina Reaper parades a unique tasteful blend of sweet, fruity flavor that deceives before unveiling a heat that makes your tongue tango. So why on earth did we decide to mix this heat bomb with our beloved cheese?
