Ida-Hotter Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce - 5 oz

Bear Spray Idaho operates from Star, Idaho, and traces the wider Bear Spray brand’s story to a hot sauce kit experiment in 2019. The brand identifies Terry Holmes as its recipe creator and Christy as the person running Idaho operations. Its story centers on family, hard work and pepper flavor balanced with heat, bringing Alaska roots into an Idaho-focused range of sauces and seasoned snacks.

Ida-Hotter Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce - 5 oz

Ida-Hotter is the ghost pepper-led option in the four-sauce Ida range. The supplier describes bold pepper flavor and a burn that builds and lingers, positioning it above Ida-Hot and below Ida-Wild. It is suited to cooks who want more intensity in chili, wings, burgers, soups or pizza without choosing the range’s strongest bottle. The front-label pepper is not the only pepper in the recipe: the reference ingredient label also lists Carolina Reaper. Choose the bottle for its complete blend and relative place in the range rather than an assumed Scoville number.

Serving ideas

For chili or soup, season an individual bowl first so you can judge the lingering heat before adjusting the pot. On pizza, add a small amount to one slice rather than covering the entire pie. Wings can be served with a separate dipping portion, giving guests control over how much they use. If you blend it into a burger sauce, make a small test portion first. These approaches let the pepper flavor become part of the meal while keeping your first experiment manageable.

Ingredients and allergen information

Reference label ingredients: water, distilled vinegar, spice, ground ghost peppers, ground Carolina Reaper pepper, xanthan gum. The pictured label is a reference for the named sauce; compare it with the actual current bottle before use. No gluten-free, allergen-free, organic, preservative-free or U.S.-grown ingredient claim is made. For help interpreting declarations, see the independent FDA guide to food allergen labels.

Storage and serving care

Follow the storage and handling directions on the bottle you receive. The available supplier information does not establish a product-specific refrigeration requirement, unopened shelf life or period for use after opening, so none is promised here. Keep the closure clean, use clean utensils if mixing a portion into another sauce, and retain the bottle label for ingredient checks. For a tasting, identify every bottle and keep each portion separate so guests can choose their own sauce.
