Achilles Heat® is an artisanal Brooklyn brand specializing in smoked chili crisp and small-batch smoked hot sauces that celebrate global flavor through a local, handcrafted lens. Every jar is made by hand using a slow-smoked pepper process that layers depth, umami, and bright, balanced heat.
 
Their Smoked Chili Crisp, winner of ‘Best New Sauce’ at ‘Sauce King NYC 2025’ is smoky, crunchy, and deeply flavorful, made with hickory-smoked peppers, crispy garlic, and shallots fried to perfection in a bright spice-infused soy bean oil. It’s nut-free, sesame-free, and gluten-free, and pairs beautifully with cheese.
