29 Nov 08 Matouk’s Flambeau Sauce

Today at the Lazy Flamingo on Sanibel Island I was surprised that my reliable bottle of Matouk’s West Indian Hot Sauce had been changed out with a redder cousin. Matouk’s Flambeau Sauce, Salsa Flambé.

Matouk’s hot sauce is one of those product’s so authentic, that you can’t find a website for the company. Apparently established in 1968 by the Matouk Family, they now create a whole line of sauces, condiments and other canned goods. Unfortunately, I’ve only had their hot sauces. Today I add their “Flambeau” sauce to that line up. Although I can’t testify to its authenticity, I can 100% testify to its deliciousness. The sauce has a flavourful bite that fills your mouth with chiles, but at the same time is mild enough to dip fries in. It’s one of those sauces that hits the balance perfectly between heat and flavour. Unlike their other hot sauces which in my opinion focus way to heavily on scotch bonnets, this Flambeau Sauce gets the formula right. Simply fantastic. Found it on Amazon too.
