The products come nicely presented in a reusable crate. |
Does the Dad in your life like hot sauce? My kids' dad just happens to LOVE hot sauce, even
keeping his favorite bottle on the kitchen counter. When I got the chance to try out Fuego Box, I
just knew it would be the perfect Father's Day gift for him.
We received Fuego Box's The Chile Cause Crate which
includes: Zana Organic Hot Sauce (medium
heat), Fat Cat Surprisingly Mild Guajillo Hot Sauce (mild heat), Yellowbird
Serrano (medium heat), Hot Hive Spicy Honey (medium heat), and Bravado JalapeƱo
and Garlic Spicy Seasoning (spicy seasoning) all nicely presented in a custom
hand-branded wooden crate. What's
awesome about this curated box is that these small-batch goods focus on flavor rather
than extreme heat.
My daughter and I went straight to drizzling the Hot Hive
Spicy Honey on popcorn and peanut butter toast.
The handmade honey is infused with the Carolina reaper pepper - the
world's hottest pepper. We both enjoyed
the sweetness and mild heat of the honey.
The label warned that the longer the honey sits, the hotter it
gets. Next time we will let it sit out a
little longer for a more intense heat flavor.
Each jar contains an entire pepper! |
The entire family was eager to try the three hot sauces
so we made a quick run for some takeout tacos.
First up was the Zana Organic Hot Sauce which is described as an
everyday hot sauce and can complement any meal.
We agree. Zana was flavorful and
the heat was manageable. Next we tried Fat
Cat Surprisingly Mild Guajillo Hot Sauce and it was just that, mild. It was my least favorite because I like spicy
but it's interesting to know that this mild sauce is created from the ghost
chili - one of the world's hottest peppers.
I think this sauce would be fun to use to enhance another sauce. Lastly, we tried the Yellowbird Serrano which
turned out to be our favorite. We liked
the heat of the sauce and really enjoyed the standout flavors of the vinegar
and lime. I had steamed dumplings the
next day and they were so much tastier with the Yellowbird sauce!
