No blurb on this one. Picked it up at the wonderful Chilli Island (I highly recommend dropping in if you’re around Leighton Buzzard)
A sauce based on a Scotch bonnet mash should be a win with me. The ingredients list is relatively straight forward with vinegar, sugar, water, Habanero, spices, garlic, lime juice, salt, pepper and Xanthum gum completing the list.
I’d say this is a pretty good “house” sauce. It’s hot, but not overly hot and the first thing on the palette is the spices, giving it quite a rich, savoury taste before the heat arrives, slow fade with hints of spice in the aftertaste. Pretty well balanced for me; maybe a tiny bit more sweet than I would ideally like, but not enough that I’d mark it down.
Consistency is good. Not too thick, not too thin & you can see small fragments of chilli suspended in the liquid which gives a nice textural addition.
8/10 – Back to Leighton Buzzard we go!
