Okie Ocho is a unique pepper spice blend made with 8 carefully selected peppers.  It has no additives, preservatives or fillers.

In the beginning, as a pepper farmer, I experimented with new pepper hybrids containing levels of capsaicin that rank them at the top of the Scoville heat scale.  Early on, I realized these genetically modified peppers were completely overwhelming with excruciating heat when used individually.  That revelation led me to combine additional peppers to simultaneously compliment the heat by adding flavor.  I love heat therefore Okie Ocho is a heat specific spice, intended for those of us who love it hot.  Peppers are not only delicious they contain medicinal qualities as well.  The most beneficial component is capsaicin and the component that has been drastically increased through genetic manipulation.  These peppers contain extremely overwhelming burning heat that was difficult to swallow, left your throat on fire, and prevented the hot pepper's flavor from being noticed.

I noticed, and began to put together various pepper combinations.  For years, through trial and error, I was able to achieve the spice I wanted to deliver.  It took a special ratio of 8 different pepper varieties to get these, hence the name Okie Ocho.  The perfect blend of heat intensity and flavor variety to create a symphony for the taste buds, where all notes are heard and where intense heat contributes to flavor harmony.

Okie Ocho's promise:  "Delicious heat and Beautiful flavor".
