matouk soca hot sauce 10oz

matouk soca hot sauce 10 oz, I love my hot sauce, and did recommend it to my girlfriend who wants to get some for her self. And pretty soon I'll be back to get some more.

A friend introduced it to him. Glad we found it on Amazon.comIf nothing is too hot for you, then try this!

One star: Not the stuff—the additives: lots of chemicals. Not "hate", just not acceptable. (Don't need more words thought Amzn asks for more.)

This sauce has a fairly simple flavor profile: a lot of heat from the Scotch bonnet peppers and a lot of tang from the vinegar and mustard. There is a touch of sweet from the cane sugar, but nothing like the Jamaican hot sauces. It also has an easily detected saltiness that the other sauces from Trinidad and Tobago do not.I was surprised by the pungent characteristics. It is hotter than I expected, but still has the more mellow spreading and building heat than habaneros or their Trinidad cousin the Congo pepper. The onion, celery seed and garlic in this sauce combine to impart a savory taste. I am not quite sure what the 'West Indian herbs' listed in the ingredients are, but I can taste thyme.There is a mellow quality to the sauce that balances the heat. I am sure that is from aging the Scotch bonnets in vinegar and salt. However, the sodium content is high at 90mg per five gram serving - over double that of Matouk's West Indian Hot Sauce. Not terrible, but something to note if you do have restrictions in your diet.The sauce itself is thick and has a relatively high viscosity. It's an orange color, probably due to the coloring agent called FD&C yellow #5. This is the only synthetic ingredient in the sauce and can pose a risk to folks who react to tartrazine. The other ingredients are natural, including modified corn starch and xantham gum used as thickening agents, and potassium sorbate, which is a natural preservative.This sauce lacks some of the flavor that I have come to love in most sauces from Trinidad and Tobago, but makes up for it in heat. I reach for it when I want a little more kick than I usually enjoy.
