From the bottle: “Marie Sharp’s Habanero Pepper Sauce is the finest product of its kind. This unique cactus-based blend achieves the perfect balance between flavour and heat.”
Cactus for the win! Compared to most sauces I’ve tried, this one is certainly a little unusual. Many sauces use content such as tomato or carrot as a base. Here, nopal is used. The taste is fresh and light, with a bit of sourness from lime. At first taste it doesn’t seem all that hot, but then there’s the distinctive habanero after-burn, though not overwhelming.
I’ve used this on salads and sandwiches predominantly, adding a bit of fresh zing and subtle heat.
7/10 – Yay for cactus
