La Anita Salsa Kut De Chile Habanero Hot Sauce Review

I had never heard of La Anita Salsa Kut De Chile Habanero Hot Sauce until I visited the duty free store in the Cozumel airport. I had two hours to kill and was peso-heavy so decided to peruse the items in the store. 


There were a number of hot sauces available for purchase. Immediately I recognized Cholula and El Yucateco, however there were a few unfamiliar ones including Salsa Kut from La Anita. I noticed immediately that it was brown in color and said "De Chile Habanero" which my simple mind understood from high school Spanish to mean "from habaneros". The top three ingredients are agua (water), habanero, and sal, which I believe is salt. 


In general I would review La Anita Salsa Kut De Chile Habanero Hot Sauce as 4 out of 5 stars. It is strong on the salt, however it tastes clean, spicy, strong and somewhat more "authentic" than habanero sauces marketed in the in US. I enjoy the smooth texture as well; it is not as thick asEl Yucateco XXXtra Hot Kutbil-ik Habanero Hot Sauce which I reviewed here, likely due to the fact that it is more watered-down, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I also very much like that when you look hold the bottle to the sunlight you can see orange flecks of habanero pepper. Very cool. 


While I was hoping to find a product link to post on this review, it appears that La Anita Salsa Kut De Chile Habanero Hot Sauce is only available in Mexico; according to their website they help people ship in Mexico only and Amazon does not carry the product. We need to get this product in the states!!

So, if you get down to visit our southern neighbor make sure to pick up a bottle or five.

Cheers.
