Subiaco Monk Sauce, Green

This Habanero Pepper Sauce begins with Habaneros grown in the gardens of Subiaco Abbey by Benedictine monks. The intensity of the heat scale for these peppers is enhanced by the hot and dry Arkansas summers and the cool and moist Arkansas fall. These peppers are left to grow to their maximum ripeness and then picked by the monks just before they turn red. The peppers are then blended into a monastic recipe composed of vinegar, onions, carrots, garlic and salt. This unique cooking, heating, cooling and blending that is required produces a pepper sauce that is not only massively hot, but also one that is intensely flavorful.
