“Blues Habanero Reserve” Hot Sauce Review
By admin | July 22, 2007 |
Hot product review courtesy of Chef Wes:
I’ve been bragging about Blues BBQ Habanero Sauce for some time. Basically it is the perfect sauce to cook with..I am very pleased with all the dishes I have created with Blues Habanero Sauce, along with my fellow chef’s..Let me give you my uses for the sauce..
INGREDIENTS: Lemon Juice, Fresh Red Savina(R) Habanero Peppers, Cider Vinegar, Tomatoes, Cayenne Pepper, Chile Pepper, Black Pepper, Sugar, Salt, Garlic and Xanthan Gum
For starters the label is great! Any label with a gee-tar on it is cool!
SMELL: The two definate smells are Habanero Pepper and Lemon…I won’t go any further saying spices and seasoning they are not pungent enough to smell. This goes for almost all sauces in general. Like a Fine Wine, people say they smell a hint of cherries…yeah right..no cherries in that wine. It just sound’s good…
APPEARANCE: The color is deep red, that is a perfect red. There is a very minute visible evidence of black pepper and seeds.
CONSISTENCY: Perfect. I’m not kidding. You don’t have to smack the bottom of the bottle. It pours out nice and smooth. It wont drip off the side when you bite into a sandwich etc…
TASTE AND HEAT: This is not a full kick Habanero taste. More of a relaxed flavor, followed by lemon and vinegar….Relate this to when you eat raw oysters. You add sauce, lemon, maybe horseradish etc, but all you really need is a shot of Blues Habanero, and you are covered….I’ll give the heat a 6.95
MY FINAL WORD
Blues Habanero Reserve is a perfect all around sauce!! Especially on a Raw Bar in the summer. When you first taste it, you get the Red Savina (R)flavor that mellows out from the other ingredients. To say the least, I’ll give Blues Habanero Sauce as a pouring sauce an 8.75 on my scale, which is a very complex scale. As far as cooking with it, I’ll give it a SOLID
10 !!!!…On a final note I am glad to pour this sauce on almost anything I eat. It has a very wealthy flavor!
