Could this be the World's Hottest Chilli Sauce?
- only for the brave! -

‘The Source’, priced £100 from Selfridges
A chilli sauce 1420 times hotter than Tabasco and measuring 7.1 million on the Scoville scale is launching at Selfridges on 10th July 2009.

The ‘Source’ sauce is made using the Habanero chilli, one of the hottest chillies in the world. Only 20 of the limited edition bottles are going on sale priced £100 and it is recommended that only 2 drops is used of the sauce at any time. The Source comes complete with a warning that due to its extremely hot nature the sauce must only be used as a food additive and should be consumed at the user’s own risk.

Natasha Jolly, Grocery Buyer at Selfridges says “Anyone who loves chillies must try this sauce, it certainly adds some extra fire to your barbeque this summer. But be warned it’s not for the fainthearted!”

For anyone wishing to sample The Source for themselves it will be available from Selfridges’ Food Hall on Oxford Street from 10th July.
