Chilli sauce reviews

It's monthly sub box time!

(Yes, totally aware of the implications of that sentence :ROFL:)

The Cholula Limón is a very mild sauce with an earthy flavour profile and a zesty lime kick. This would kill on a nachos dish, but if you really want to push it up a notch, head on over to https://www.instagram.com/p/CPhuF35HMF-/?utm_medium=copy_link and check out the recipe for an authentic Mexican Michelada cocktail recipe that incorporates the Cholula sauce. Imported from Mexico by Azteca Mexican Products in Midrand.

We've had the Peri Peri sauce from Fury Piri-Piri that we loved, so we were excited to get into their Prego offering! Your initial hit is sweet and acidic, the garlic note tickles you, and then the zesty citrus lingers. It's a good tasting mild sauce but, honestly, we expected a much larger garlic hit from a Prego sauce, but that's our personal preference. Still a great sauce! Locally produced in CPT.

We've not had anything from Picante before, and were very intrigued reading the ingredient label that includes Serrano, Ghost, Reaper, Habanero and Peri Peri chillis. The sauce has a nice tomato nose to it, and the flavour journey is interesting, with a slightly sweet yet hot first hit, followed by a suggestion of smoke close on its heels, and rounded off with a good warm burn. It's hot, but not in a way that makes you edge towards the abyss of panic that some sauces with reapers in them will make you do. Locally produced in KZN.

Again, a great selection from The Sauce Shop team. Would recommend them all.

The locally applied label for Cholula states lemon, but a quick Google search confirms it should be lime.

Hmm. first time i've heard of them. Gonna try it. Certainly easier than Amazon/Walmart through mail forwarders.
 
My favorite ones that I can get at my local is banditos habanero, and another called Lava. These are good on pizza

I keep a mix of store bought + home made

Best Quality, Sustainable Food & Produce | Forage and Feast

Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, SA’s only Michelin Star Chef has given our new and exclusive Forage and Feast range his stamp of approval. Our range is made with the best quality ingredients and sourced responsibly.
www.checkers.co.za www.checkers.co.za

Tried the following:
Forage And Feast Habanero: This is very hot, gave up half way through the bottle
Forage And Feast Red Chilli Sauce: Just the right amount of burn and taste
Forage And Feast Jalapeno Sauce: Bit sweat not much burn to it, good all rounder.

Bought some hot sauce from a bottle store, Chilli & Garlic and was chunky homemade so not mass produced loved it will see if I can find it again and post a pic. I think I only paid R25 or R30 but much better than the mass produced over priced crap that you buy at shops.

Forage and Feast are top stuff!

Habanero when you want to add heat without altering flavour too much.
Red chilli when you want a bit of chilli goodness.

These are my new go-to sauces.

I still have to try the full range, but the two I tried are awesome.
 
Bought this on a trip a while back because needed something hot. It now irritates me every time I take it out the fridge. If it was rated 7/10...fine, but these domkoppe rate it a 15/10. Firstly...wtf is that rating even? Second...it's not even that hot. It's like Habenero hot. 15/10 should be one of the hottest sauces on earth. This isn't it.

Clearly made and tested by a pansy then...

I find that way too often, that people call a sauce overly hot or mindblowing and when you try it, its got a relatively mild bite that is quite pleasant. People then look at you sideways like you have some sort of handicap. :P

I'm not really a fan of this range myself
 
Bought Tabasco's habenero version. Not bad but I'm now looking for something with more kick for buck . Will maybe try that banditos habenero.
 
Ive got an ice cream container full of dried chillies (no idea what kind, they are pretty mild) I don't know what to do with. If you have a use for them and make your own sauce your welcome to fetch them (Wynberg, Cape Town)

Ill swop them for a bottle of the sauce you make
