Bio

A La Brava is a brand dedicated to showcasing the vibrant flavors of Mexican hot sauces. Their Salsa Habanera is a tribute to the fiery habanero pepper, known for its intense heat and fruity flavor. The company prides itself on using traditional recipes and high-quality ingredients.

Bottle Inspection

The bottle is sealed in a Non-Perforated Shrink Wrap with a twist off cap. Definitely need to use a cutting utensil to remove it. THe artwork is minimal but it is appealing and deffinitely caught my attention on the shelf. Sauce is a light tan with a lot going on inside. Bits of pepper pulp are visible throughout the sauce.

Pourability

Fully open cap. One needs to be careful when pouring this cause. It is very thin and gushes out of the bottle.

Smell & Taste

This sauce smells almost exactly like Yum Yum Sauce. It’s uncanny. It feels very safe and does not resemble the smell of a hot sauce at all. Quite a bit of frontal tongue burn right away. Upon first sampling the sauce, you get a rich flavor. It dissipates quickly though. At this point I felt that it tasted almost exactly as it smelled: like Yum Yum Sauce! The heat eventually moves throughout the entirety of your mouth. Lips tingle and nose runs a little bit.

Final Thoughts

I enjoyed this sauce, but I am not crazy about it. I picked it up at my local grocery store in the condiment isle. It is not as insane as the label implies, but there is another hotter variant that I will be trying next!

Chris found his love for hot sauce in 2009. After moving away from home and learning to cook, he ruined many meals. Being too poor to throw the food away, it was then covered in hot sauce just to make it edible. This quickly evolved into a love for the nuances and intricacies of various peppers and how they can change the overall depth of a dish.
