CaJohns Select Habanero Puree Sauce Review

Recently I purchased CaJohns Select Orange Habanero Puree at Spice Merchants in Traverse City, Michigan while I was doing some Christmas Shopping with my lovely wife. With a sticker price of $9.99 this certainly was not the cheapest hot sauce, however what attracted me to this particular bottle were a few things:
  1. The bottle (image below) was simple, attractive and allowed the customer to see how thick the sauce was.
  2. There were only FOUR ingredients: Habanero Chiles, Distilled Vinegar, Citric Acid & Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), to preserve color. 
  3. It was the only habanero sauce in the store (makes it easy to stand out in a crowd, huh?)
You are probably going to laugh at me when I say this, but despite eating habanero hot sauces for many years, I always get a little bit of nervous tension before I try a new sauce. I think crazy things like, "Oh my God, what if I can't take it!". I should know better. 

While the CaJohns Select Orange Habanero Puree does not have as good of a flavor as the El Yucateco XXXtra Hot Kutbil-ik Habanero Hot Sauce, it is extremely satisfying. My review of CaJohns Select Orange Habanero Puree would be to give it 4.5 out of 5 stars!The flavor is of pure, freshly diced habaneros and with NO WATER, the has an extremely satisfying thickness (it almost comes out in chunks so watch it when you pour into your burritos or salsa!). 

You can order it on Amazon. Based on flavor, texture and freshness I would strongly recommend:
