One of the hottest peppers in the world meets an American classic - Monterey Jack. Bhut Jolokia in Hindi translates to Ghost Chili, also known as Naga Jolokia. Named after the Naga warriors of Northern India, fearsome headhunters, one gets the idea that this is no mild-mannered heat. Before the discovery of Ghost Chili, habanero's were known as the hottest pepper. So, that has been added to the Jack for good measure! Monterey Jack is always a great melter, so this is a great cheese for adding punch to burgers, dogs, casseroles, a fiery mac 'n' cheese and of course, chili. No need for additional hot sauce when grilling!
