Double Oak Smoked Chilli
A piquant hot sauce with clean lemon and full-bodied oak smoke, with a touch of mango masala. It is made with a blend of 25% Bird's Eye chilli and 75% Cayenne. Works well with all BBQ dishes, red meats and cheese, and is the perfect partner for the traditional English fried egg and bacon breakfast.

About the Sauce
Dr. Trouble Chilli Sauce is a limited quantity, small batch, artisanal sauce, produced on a northern Zimbabwean farm, in a custom-built Food Standards Certified facility. Dr. Trouble Sauce is unique in that they only use fresh lemon juice instead of the more commonly used (and cheaper) preservative vinegar. There are no artificial preservatives, thickeners or colourants used in the recipe, making Dr Trouble Sauce a truly all-natural product. 

The lemons they use are sourced from organic trees from the tribal lands in the Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe, providing a vital source of income to rural people living in one of the most isolated parts of the world. Their high-quality Cayenne and Bird's Eye chillies are grown to the highest ethical standards, with full traceability. They are hand-graded to ensure only the finest quality are used in the sauce. 

Dr. Trouble Sauce is batch-fermented in custom-blown glass flagons for up to 100 days, under the abundant African sun. The salt is sourced from the Botswana salt pans, which is unique for its exceptional flavour. The chillies are roasted vigorously in a flame filled chilli roast oven, slightly charring the pods to concentrate and bring out the subtle flavours. 


In the same way we at The Artisan Chilli take great pride in providing unique and high quality products, Dr. Trouble match this pride and passion by producing a high quality and unique sauce in one of the most isolated places in the world, surrounded by the savannah and wildlife in Africa’s Eden. 

It is no surprise that we are now one of the few exclusive sellers of this fantastic product!
