Elijah's Xtreme Hot Sauce

What started in a backyard garden with a six-year-old boy and a hot banana pepper became one of America's boldest hot sauce brands. Elijah's Xtreme was born from a father-son mission: create a thicker, more flavorful, hotter hot sauce than anything else on the market. After three years of trial and error, Bret and Elijah perfected their handcrafted Ghost Pepper Sauce in 2013, and by 2014 they'd landed Bass Pro Shops nationwide—where they remain a top seller to this day. The teenager who ate Smokin' Ed's Carolina Reaper to achieve his childhood dream now runs the company alongside his father, pushing boundaries with everything from mild gateway sauces to their legendary Regret Reserve—a sauce that lives up to its name. With over 600 five-star reviews on their Xtreme Regret alone, this isn't just heat for heat's sake. It's bold flavor, serious craftsmanship, and the authentic passion of two people who genuinely love what they do. From beginner-friendly Roasted Cayenne & Jalapeño to challenge-level Reaper sauces, Elijah's Xtreme delivers quality at every heat level.
