I can always tell by looking at a sauce if I’ll like it.

Anyone know what I mean?

The look of this one is almost ‘creamy’ but it’s not actually creamy and has no dairy, of course. I just love the way they look and always know.

This is a peri-peri sauce that has delicious notes of ginger, hot peppers (Thai, jalapeños, Fresno), garlic and some acidity to round it out. I taste the ginger at first, which I love. The texture is not chunky at all but is thicker than many other sauces. Flecks of red peppers come through.

The heat is medium but don’t be fooled. It’s got a nice mouth burn that lasts but is not overpowering. Both experienced chili heads and newbies will enjoy.

When I think peri-peri my head goes to chicken. This would pair wonderfully with that, especially if you make hot wings with it.

I can also see myself using this when I cook a white, flaky fish or seafood stew. Peri peri was popularized by Portugal, so think foods from that region.

I really like this sauce and find it to be very versatile and different from many other sauces out there. It’s always fun to try new ones.

Here’s some info about it from the company website :

“An ancient South African family recipe carefully blended in a time-honored tradition of Portuguese culinary excellence here in Denver, Colorado. We source only the freshest and finest ingredients. No colorants or preservatives ever make it into a bottle of Mamas Peri Peri hot sauce, and it is gluten-free.”

The sauce is very citrus forward, with a great tartness from the lemon that you expect from a peri-peri sauce.

The other flavors blend beautifully with the other ingredients. They kept it very traditional, but with their own touch. The onions, red peppers, and garlic give this a complex flavor that will have you wanting more.

The heat is on the milder side, but i think that allows you to taste the more subtle flavors. This is a sauce that you could go through an entire bottle in a meal and still want more.”
