Silk Route Spice Company Peri Peri Sauce Extra Hot 250ml

Very mild. This is not spicy so why lable it as extra hot? Absolutely no heat, competing ketchup u fortunately.

We found this sauce to be decent, enough heat and a good flavour but not £5.99 worth compared to other brands and types of hot sauce.It's a nice one to give as a hostess type gift or as a funny stocking filler but for yourself I'd save a quid or three. If you're looking for something extremely hot then this isn't for you.

This sauce does taste great, quite tangy but a nice flavour - it’s just that we expected a lot more spice to it! For being extra hot we were expecting quite a punch but ended up being disappointed. So if you are used to spicy sauces and like the heat this isn’t going to satisfy that. It is however a nice dipping sauce or topping sauce. Haven’t tried to marinade anything in it yet, but it does go great with chicken.

Personally, I haven't tried as many Piri Piri sauces and thus have taken this sauce to share with my work colleagues to give a better more objective review.I liked the taste profile of this Piri Piri sauce and have found the heat to be just right, it is spicy enough to be considered extra hot by most definitions. My colleagues agreed with me in regards with the taste, they liked it as well, however, all of them like seriously spicy food (Ghost Pepper, Trinidad Scorpion, etc. sauces) which are usually too spicy for most people so to them naturally this was not extra spicy. I would say that extra spicy rating of this sauce is in line with most store-bought extra spicy sauces.The lemon taste is pronounced but is not overpowering and goes perfectly with chicken. The taste profile is full-bodied and perfectly balanced, not too salty, not too sweet, not excessively spicy that it ruins the taste and I would say it struct a sweet spot.However, given the asking price (£6) I would say that it is overpriced as there is plenty of competition for much less, my colleagues agreed.
