Hot Sauce Review: Local Talent Pineapple Mango Habanero

by

Back at it again in 2023 with a review for one of my favourite Canadian hot sauce makers. This is Pineapple Mango Habanero from Local Talent Hot Sauce.

I opened this bottle on New Year’s Eve to share with a few friends over some wings. I think they made a good choice when choosing this sauce.

Pineapple Mango Habanero is a sweet, saucy, and spicy addition to any meal that needs a kick. With its colour as vibrant as the taste, this hot sauce is a knock-out for sure.

Smoke Show: Lightly Smoked Jalapeno Hot Sauce Review

by

Smoke Show out of Montreal makes a really awesome Jalapeno hot sauce. They lightly smoke the jalapenos to boost the flavour of this sauce. The jalapenos also provide a mild but sharp heat.

This hot sauce tastes savoury, smoky, and just a little bit tangy. If you are into hot sauces that add flavour with a tiny bit of heat, this one from Smoke Show might be the sauce for you!

Hot Sauce Review: Dawson’s Big Smoke Chipotle Sauce

by

Another gem from Dawson’s Hot Sauce, Big Smoke Chipotle is a smoky and spicy hot sauce. This quality hot sauce is made with peppers like Chipotle, Jalapeno, and Red Chili. The heat level on this one is about a medium-high, it will tingle your tongue, but not enough to make you recoil in pain.

The smoky flavour of Big Smoke Chipotle makes this a great sauce for just about anything. If you’re looking for gourmet heat, this hot sauce is for you, not too hot and definitely not mild.

Roothams Gourmet Ontario Red Crimson Hot Sauce Review

by

Ontario Red Crimson Hot Sauce by Rootham’s Gourmet is a Sriracha-style sauce made with locally grown ingredients. This hot sauce is great for those who prefer the mild side of the spicy life. There is not too much heat but plenty of flavour.

With a consistency similar to ketchup, Red Crimson is great for both coating and dipping. I especially enjoyed this one with some carrots and celery.

Smoky Chipotle by Supernova Hot Sauce Review

by

Smoky Chipotle by Supernova Hot Sauces is a smoky and tangy thin hot sauce that pairs well with many North American staples. It is not very hot but does a good job of adding a pleasant zip to your meal.

You can find it in most big-name grocery stores across the country. If you’re looking for something cheap and easy, this might be the hot sauce for you.

Hot Sauce Review: Ruthless Hot Sauce Habanero

by

I found a bottle of Habanero sauce by Ruthless Hot Sauce at a Farmboy in Kingston, Ontario. It was the only one on the shelf made in Canada so I picked one up to try.

This is an onion and carrot-based hot sauce that tastes quite a bit like mulligatawny soup.

It is not very spicy and has a somewhat bland, watery taste. While it doesn’t taste bad, it is definitely not on my list of favourite hot sauces.

Meryl’s Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce Review

by

Meryl’s Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce is a great take on a classic Caribbean-style sauce. It is thin and chunky, a little bit tangy, and a little bit sweet.

It is pretty mild considering it is made with Scotch Bonnet peppers but it is a tasty heat.

The only thing I did not like about this hot sauce was the amount of Apple Cider Vinegar. I find it a little too much. The ACV is the first and last thing you taste with Meryl’s.
