Eaten Alive – Scotch Bonnet Fermented Hot Sauce

“Scotch bonnets and sweet peppers are slowly fermented with a touch of garlic to develop an intense fruity flavour.  It’s a deceptively simple sauce with medium heat and maximum flavour.  From soups and stews to eggs and oysters, it’s our perfect everyday sauce”OK!  Fermented … check!   Garlic … check!  Medium heat … check!

It’s quite runny sauce, but then for most things I wasn’t adding it too liberally; drops here and there rather than slathering it all over.

Flavour starts with that “fermented” umaminess, growing into a rich peppery punch, with a sweet edge, before fading to a relatively short tail of heat.  It’s certainly very flavoursome, though for me I could take it a touch hotter.

8/10 – Great sauce, getting more.
