Review: Tabasco Rocoto Pepper Sauce

[transmaster]

Rocoto Pepper Sauce is very interesting basically it is a real refined Jamaican Pepper Sauce. The main ingredient is the Rocoto chili. It has a Tabasco Pepper Sauce base. There is Maple Syrup, sweet osmanthus, here called Sweet Olive Flower, Red Bell Pepper, lemon. Plus spices.

As above this tastes like a real refined Jamaican Pepper Sauce. The Maple Syrup really adds an interesting hi light to this sauce. I don't know about the Sweet Osmanthus flowers this is my first known encounter with the ingredient. By my standards this not a particular "hot" sauce it has a nice flavor enhancing burn. By it's self it would great on grilled hamburgers, steak, a thick pork chop. This sauce would be great added to a BBQ sauce.

This is another sauce available from the Tabasco Country Store.

Interesting. It's about time to order more Family Reserve. Maybe a bottle of this too. Hmmm.

3 bottles of Family reserve was included in this order, I never want to be out of it.

The Sweet Osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans) Is a rather handsome small tree there are several subspecies. It will grow in climate zones 7-10. It blooms in the fall. Has very fragrant flowers. It is the flowers that are harvested.

Can't comment re: "small" based on the photo, but it is rather a handsome feller (gal... it...?)
