Sinful Sauces Wicked

Sinful Sauces Wicked

If I was to say the name ‘Sinful Sauces’ to you, what would be the first thing to spring into mind? Devilishly hot? Exceptionally flavoursome? Whatever it is, for me, its pride. And these guys must be incredibly proud of what they have accomplished in over such a short period of time. National chilli awards winner 2011? Best newcomer? Best label? Don’t ask me what’s so great about their products, just get your butt to www.sinfulsauces.co.uk and find out for yourself. I first met this duo down at the Mendlesham Chilli Fiesta in Suffolk last year and was taken aback by their wide range of products from mild, to bloody hot! (Envy to Bliss as they like to say) Products include sauces, spreads, pickles, clothing and giftsets.

The sauce I am reviewing today is Wicked (Hot). And as always, their packaging is stylish, attaractive, fresh and above all, DAMN SEXY! Black glossy label with their trademark Sinful sauce logo and of course, the cheeky devil giving you the teasing wink egging you on to try some sauce. Even the shrink wrap top to the bottle has been placed perfectly on the lid.

This is without a doubt a faultless style of packaging. A real trendsetter. The sauce itself looks rich, red with hint of orange and a loose pulpy texture. Sauce gently flows from one end of the bottle to the other. Once again I must say the word ‘pride’, as they boast using 100% natural ingredients in their products. So what’s in the bottle?????

Ingredients: Roasted Red Peppers (35%), Tomatoes (24%), Red onions, Red Hot Serrano (10%), Sugar, Red Wine Vinegar, Garlic, Black pepper, Rosemary, Olive oil, Salt.

Chilli and garlic together? Sounds spot on to me. I have to open the bottle now but I am struggling to. It seems wrong. Bugger it, I have to try it. Off comes the lid. Straight away a sweet onion smell greets me with a mild Chilli aroma beside it. The tomato smell that comes with it reminds me strangely of spag bol, weird hey. Maybe its mixing with the rosemary to give me that? Either way it smells awesome. Lets have a taste.

Okay now that’s crazy. The sauce actually gives me the feeling that it is warm? Not a chilli hot warm, I mean like it has been popped in the microwave for a few seconds. You get the chilli warmth with it too as well as a beautiful tomato and onion flavour and a slight herby background from the rosemary. Rich roasted flavour from the peppers which takes this sauce to an amazing level of flavour and the heat level is bang on. Texture is smooth and welcoming and encourages more and more of this sauce to be eaten. Very versatile I say, good for most dishes and meals. Heat level is hot but not blistering. If you want to ramp up the heat then have lots, if you want it milder then have a little, simple as that.

So, one question remains. Why the hell are you still reading this and not ordering it??? I’ve just said its one hell of a sauce :D You will definitely not be let down with any of their products. Still reading? O come on, www.sinfulsauces.co.uk.

Bottle kindly supplied by www.sinfulsauces.co.uk and costs only £4.50 for a 148ml bottle. Until next time my fellow Chilliheads remember, if it burns going in, it will burn coming out.

This may sound obvious, but chillies do not grow natively in the UK! That’s what make’s UK chilli growers just that little bit more special!

An exceptional amount of work and time goes into growing chillies in the UK, and this video hopefully shows our delight at having finished planting out into the four tunnels that are the basis of our chilli farm in Bristol.

Filmed mid May and prior to any significant pod development, the footage starts in our show tunnel, which was stocked and planted by the mighty Matt Simpson of Simpson Seeds. This show tunnel is home to a variety of interesting, rare and beautiful chillies, all planted in a way which once mature will add depth and colour to what will seem like a chilli jungle.

The film moves on to our Barts Spices tunnel, where we are growing chillies on behalf of the Bristol based company, who will be using the resulting chillies in a range of limited edition UK grown spices. The video then moves on to our two main commercial tunnels where we are growing a range of chillies, including 7 Pot, Orange Habanero, Dorset Naga, Habanero Fruitburst, Jalapeno and Serrano.

I have also made reference to our smokehouse (that will be used to smoke the 1000′s of Jalapeno’s that we will harvest to make Chipotles) as well as our Chilli Walk that leads visitors up to the tunnels via 8 informative chilli stations

I do hope you enjoy it, and all being well we will make another video once harvest time is upon us!

If you want to see the development for yourself, please do visit. The chilli farm is open every day of the week, with our farm shop and cafe being open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
