REBUILDING HAITI ONE PEPPER AT AT
TIME
Bel Soley
produces Haiti Is Hot! pepper sauce – the first world class
pepper sauce from Haiti. Haiti is Hot! Is called Nap Boule! in
Haiti, which is a Creole phrase meaning…We Are On Fire!
The sauce is well named. The fiery heat in the sauce is
produced by using piman bouk peppers. Piman bouk peppers are
one of the varietals of the habanero family. Piman bouk
peppers are native to Haiti and are a cross between scotch
bonnet peppers and habaneros. Piman bouk peppers are red,
orange, yellow or green – and hot in any color. Measured raw,
piman bouk peppers come in at the sizzling rate of 124,000
Scoville Heat Units.
Bel Soley works
with a number of small farmers and farming co-operatives who
specialize in growing piman bouk peppers. When the peppers are
harvested, they are combined with Haitian papaya, plus
carrots, onions and other special ingredients in a traditional
Haitian recipe. After cooking and bottling in modern
facilities, Nap Boule! is shipped all over the world to hot
sauce lovers and people who just want a great tasting and
unique flavor.
Try Haiti Is
Hot! Nap Boule! sauce in all sorts of foods – from traditional
barbecue to fish, chicken and goat. Nap Boule! adds zest to
