El Yucateco Extra Hot Habanero Salsa, 120ml

El Yucateco’s XXXtra Hot Kutbil-ik is the best commercial hot sauce I’ve found as a daily all-rounder. There may be much hotter sauces out there but Kutbil-ik has a fantastic flavour that’s rich and full of depth, with a decent warming heat and a zingy acidity. The base for Kutbil-ik comes from crushing whole roasted habaneros which is different to how other sauces are generally made, and it shows. It’s versatile and delicious and has gone with every meal I’ve tried it with so far. It’s not an artisanal or “craft” hot sauce but it’s cheap, hot and tasty, takes breakfast and lunch to the next level and doesn’t overwhelm food.

Somerset Foodie are also brilliant - my order was well packaged (each bottle was well-wrapped in a recyclable stretchy cardboard to stop breakages) and arrived the next day. Thank you Ben and Alice!
