Unless you’re lactose intolerant, you probably love cheese. Chances are, you have requested extra cheese on pizzas, breads, pastas, hotdogs, tacos and a lot more. There’s just something about the gooey goodness of cheese that makes any dish better with its slightly salty nature. Pepper cheeses are becoming a culinary trend because of the taste outcome of cheese and spices, one example is the pepper jack cheese with a slightly spicy note. But what if the pepper cheese has the hottest chili on Earth as a side ingredient; would you dare to order an extra layer?
According to the Guiness Book of World Records, ghost peppers, or Bhut Jolokia peppers, are the world’s hottest chilis with over one million Scoville units (units used to measure the hotness of chili peppers). That’s about 500 times hotter than your usual hot sauce, or even more. Originally grown and cultivated in India, ghost peppers are becoming quite popular in the Western market because of its spiciness. Fresh ghost pepper pods are still quite rare, that’s why Americans and Europeans are only used to its dried or ground form. The use of ghost peppers in modern cooking depends on the consumers. In Indian and Mediterranean restaurants, it is usually requested, and one of the common forms of ghost peppers aside from the hot sauce is the ghost pepper cheese. The ghost pepper cheese is turning stomachs upside down because of its intense heat that resembles eating 500 raw chili peppers on a pressed dairy. The succulent taste of cheese is completely cloaked by the hotness of the ghost pepper, even though dairy products are meant to reduce hotness in the mouth. Ghost pepper cheese is widely used as bar snacks with crackers or biscuits, maybe because a person who eats it is sure to order a gallon of beer or any liquid afterwards. In some online specialty stores, there are blocks of home-made ghost pepper cheeses for sale, but because cheeses are hard to transport (because of the controlled temperature and humidity involved), they are pretty pricey. A simple recipe involving cheese and ghost peppers would be the Jolokia dip, which consists of ranch dressing, cream cheese and ghost pepper hot sauce.
If you happen to stumble across a ghost pepper cheese, think twice before you order an extra heap. Think about ingesting a shyer version of lava with your meal if you’re curious as to what kind of heat it can give you. But for those who think they can do it, go ahead and enjoy a death-defying bite of the ghost pepper cheese!
