There are hot sauces—and then there is Kutbil-Ik.
El Yucateco XXXTRA HOT Chile Habanero Hot Sauce draws its inspiration from the culinary traditions of the ancient Mayan civilization of the Yucatán Peninsula. The name “Kutbil-Ik” comes from the Mayan language, meaning “crushed chili”—a direct reference to the time-honored preparation of freshly ground habanero peppers that form the heart of this powerful recipe.
Founded in 1968 by Priamo J. Gamboa, El Yucateco began as a small family business devoted to crafting authentic habanero sauces. From those humble beginnings, the company has grown into a globally respected pioneer in fiery habanero hot sauces and traditional Mexican products, exported throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, and Oceania—while preserving the integrity of its classic recipes.
A Mayan-Inspired Masterpiece
XXXTRA HOT is not simply about intensity—it is about heritage and craftsmanship. Made from select habanero peppers crushed and blended according to traditional methods, this sauce delivers a bold and commanding heat ranging from 10,000 to 12,500 Scoville Heat Units.
Unlike many extreme sauces, El Yucateco relies on no extracts or artificial concentrates. The fire comes purely from real habanero chiles, ensuring that flavor remains rich, layered, and authentic.
Expect a robust texture and full-bodied consistency that coats the palate with vibrant heat and savory depth. The initial brightness of habanero gives way to a sustained warmth that true chile enthusiasts will appreciate.
Heat with Purpose
Kutbil-Ik is designed for those who crave serious spice without sacrificing balance. A few drops are enough to transform a dish:
Intensify grilled meats and roasted pork
Add fiery character to tacos and traditional Mexican dishes
Elevate marinades and hearty stews
Reinvent guacamole with a bold, ancient twist
Ignite a Bloody Mary, Michelada, or classic Sangrita
Its strength demands respect, yet its flavor invites exploration.
