Reviews
Chas on 2023-05-28 (3 stars): I didn’t see anything about fermentation which many of the pepper sauces are. Any comments?
Marcelle on 2022-10-05 (5 stars): Super great alternative for those who love the heat but can't do nightshade chillies
MJ on 2021-12-16 (5 stars): I was skeptical. This is THE most fabulous hot sauce that I have come across. I use it daily for just about EVERYTHING...from wing sauce to creamed soups. The floral notes offer a reminder of sunshiny days, with the beautiful, colours of flowers in full bloom. When given as gifts, folks are astounded at the "use of flowers!" and the beautiful hues. Thank you!
