Label:
Green all around, peppers flying about, text font captures the funky flavours of the country. The bottle has a convenient drip top with cap that seals nicely.
Looks:
Strong red colour with very small pieces of chili and garlic. Drips nicely, liquidy, mixes well in dishes like rice and beans. Tabasco like consistency. Slightly lighter colour.
Aroma:
That olivy smell like other hot sauces have, being a sign of fresh chilis. Vinegary, but peppery. Medium pungency. Your food will take on a more peppery smell, but nothing too drastic.
Taste:
Fresh chili and that vege taste. The garlic is very subdue, but its there. Your food will take on a little flavour, much less the garlic, but as if you cracked some black pepper and some capsicum/tomato juiciness. Not a roasted flavour, but the garlic and salt brings that up a bit. Very standard.
Heat:
Heat increases quickly, but not immediately. I wouldnt call it a punchy sauce. The heat to flavour ratio is perfectly balanced. Spicy enough to amp up a dish, but not spicy enough to make an experienced nose drip. Classic heat for a store shelf sauce.
Overall:
A decent sauce to have in your fridge. Drip it over rice and other dishes to work well. It has a small mexican influenced air about it, so meat dishes work great with this sauce. I tried this with rice and falafel and it was exactly what it needed.
