Description:
Official: "No one knows for sure how the sweet, fiery Datil pepper found its way to the Sunshine State, but many believe they were brought to Florida from a small Mediterranean island named Minorca. The Minorcans were said to have cultivated the peppers near St. Augustine in the late 18th century. Legend has it, a small number of Minorcans migrated south and settled on the banks of a secluded, mystic spring-fed stream called Happy Creek. There they created the legacy of this unique, sweet Datil sauce which has been passed down through the generations and remains within the contents of this bottle for your enjoyment."User Reviews

Label:
Appealing and interesting. Smart.
Looks:
My least favorite aspect of this sauce.
Aroma:
The scent entices mouth juices!
Taste:
Tastes of sweet peppers and ripe tomato. The ketchup in the base comes through.
Heat:
I'm not sure about this rating. 5 means I'm pleased with the heat of it, not that it's the hottest. This is a sweet heat, which is just about right for me. I'm not a lover of intense heat. I want to taste my food, and this allows it.
Overall:
I like to use this sauce on chicken of just about any kind. This sauce is mild enough to use a lot of it and flavorful enough to use as a marinade. I recommend it.

Label:
Love the "Old Florida" theme and style.
Looks:
As good as it tastes I wouldn't care if it was pink. The texture is ideal and it doesn't run off whatever you shake it on.
Aroma:
Yummy, I smelled yummy when I opened the bottle!
Taste:
I'm not a huge fan of sweet pepper sauces and though the sweetness of its ketchup base comes through it totally works!
Heat:
If you're a pepper sauce person this one will satisfy your taste buds without cauterizing them.
Overall:
Not too sweet and not too hot making it a perfect compliment to many dishes. Yep, this product is for more than chicken wings and scrambled eggs. I found it a welcome addition my home smoked spare ribs! My first bottle lasted all of a week...

Label:
Love the label. A sort of nostalgic look....
Looks:
Bit thin for my liking but still love it as a sort of dipping sauce when eating baked chicken
Aroma:
Great smell. After you heat it you can almost smell the heat.
Taste:
Exceptional Taste , better than just about anything I've bought over the counter
Heat:
Hot enough to give you a kick but not over whelming
Overall:
Don't think I will be buying any other hot sauces other than this one from now on unless I want to get a hotter sauce from time to time for that special wam of heat which I do like from time to time. Trying to get all my friends to give it a go.
