Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce

If you’re looking to elevate your cooking with bold, unforgettable flavor, few ingredients deliver as much excitement as the Scotch Bonnet pepper. Famous for its intense heat and fruity sweetness, this Caribbean favorite brings a unique tropical kick to every dish.

At Mama Maisas, we’ve turned this island gem into something special — the St. Croix Fire Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce. Handcrafted, sugar-free, and gluten-free, it’s the perfect blend of authentic Caribbean taste and health-conscious innovation — made for flavor lovers across the United States.

🌶 What Is the Scotch Bonnet Pepper?

The Scotch Bonnet pepper (Capsicum chinense) is a staple in Caribbean cuisine, recognized by its bright color and signature bonnet-like shape. It ranks between 100,000 and 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) — similar to the habanero but with a sweeter, fruitier flavor.

This combination of heat and sweetness makes Scotch Bonnets stand out from other chili peppers. You’ll find them in classic Caribbean dishes like jerk chicken, pepper shrimp, and goat curry, but their use has spread globally — now appearing in American kitchens as the perfect way to add heat with personality.
