Everyone like a bit of Encona. If you are buying from shops in the UK where not much is available it is a nice alternative to Cholula. I prefer Cholula, but Encona is a fruity, sharp taste as opposed to the deep smoky taste of Cholula. It's obviously not a fraction as hot as some of the sauces on offer here at Scorchio but it is very tasty and a good beginner sauce. Personally I think it goes great with good ol' British fish and chips from the chip shop!!

I've ate Nandos extra hot and xx hot sauce before which brought a bit of a sweat on but was enjoyable. This sauce is pretty darn hot!. I am surprised to see it has 3/5 and am looking for a sauce hotter than this that does'nt have the "add to soups and sauces" advice. I would say this is at least as hot as Nandos X hot sauce, if not XX hot depending on batch. Very nice on chicken in small doses and has a nice burn if you breathe through your mouth!.

This was my first introduction into hot sauces (apart from red tobasco which is too watery to be used as a dipping sauce) and soon after I started eating it I became addicted to it! It is fiery enough for the beginnner but tasty enough for the more hardened enthusiast to maintain its interest while you develop your taste for hot sauces. I have heard real hot chilli professionals say it is a little too vinegary, but I love this element, its very addictive and the more you eat, the more you want until you are dreaming about it at night and considering having it on your cornflakes! Great value too and available everywhere.

Unreal, This has got to be the best sauce you can buy, small drizzle on chicken and cheese wraps with a creamy garlic really sends you taste buds wild. This sauce however is not for the faint hearted. In my house this is known as mans sauce... Its not for girls.

I love this sauce! It is a fantastic sauce for adding while your cooking, I use it in soups, stews and a variety of other dishes. It works well with many different types of food and it can turn even bland meals into something a bit more interesting in fact by adding a dash to your favorite chutney or relish for example you can give your other sauces a fiery kick. As the name suggests it is hot, but not so hot that it is not enjoyable, it's just right and easily worth the money.
