Founded in 2019 in the Czech Republic, HOT-CHIP has quickly become a global sensation for chilli lovers and thrill-seekers alike. What started with the viral HOT-CHIP Challenge—a single tortilla chip seasoned with the world’s hottest peppers like the Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion—has evolved into a premium brand offering a diverse range of spicy delicacies.
At HOT-CHIP, it’s not just about the heat; it’s about quality and craftsmanship. From spicy syrups and jams to protein-rich snacks and gift sets, every product is crafted in small batches using high-quality, natural ingredients. Committed to sustainability, the brand uses eco-friendly packaging and supports reforestation through its “Fire to Help” initiative. Whether you’re looking to test your limits or enhance your culinary creations, HOT-CHIP brings the authentic fire of real chillies to your table.
1. What is the HOT-CHIP Challenge? The HOT-CHIP Challenge is a world-famous “extreme heat” test featuring a single tortilla chip coated in the spiciest peppers on earth. It is designed for entertainment and personal challenge, often shared on social media under the hashtag #HotChipChallenge.
2. Is the challenge chip safe for everyone? No. Due to its extreme spice level (up to 2 million Scoville units), the chip is not suitable for children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals with health conditions, particularly those with digestive issues or capsaicin sensitivity.
3. What other products does HOT-CHIP offer? Beyond the challenge chip, the brand offers a wide variety of spicy products, including:
Snacks: Spicy popcorn, jerky, peanuts, and high-protein chips.
Pantry: Chilli sauces, jams, honey, spices, and syrups.
Gifts: Curated gift boxes and sets for chilli enthusiasts.
4. Where are HOT-CHIP products made? All products are proudly made in the Czech Republic, focusing on small-batch production to ensure the highest quality and flavor consistency.
5. Do you ship internationally? Yes. HOT-CHIP delivers to over 35 countries, including major markets in the EU, the UK, and beyond. Shipping times and costs vary depending on the destination.
6. Are your products eco-friendly? Yes. Sustainability is a core value. We use eco-friendly packaging and plant a tree for every order over a certain value (e.g., 1000 CZK) through our environmental initiative.
7. How can I soothe the burn if I eat something too spicy? If the heat becomes overwhelming, we recommend drinking milk or eating dairy products (like yogurt or ice cream) to help neutralize the capsaicin. Avoid drinking water, as it can spread the heat further.
