The principal ingredient in Matouk's Flambeau is a hefty helping of aged, pickled scotch bonnet peppers, giving this thick and savory hot sauce its extreme heat and flame-red color. Straight from Trinidad & Tobago in the West Indies, Matouk's Flambeau Sauce easily rates a 10 on a 1 to 10 heat scale (10 being the hottest), and is not for the tender-tongued! In fact, Matouk's Flambeau is about as hot as a hot sauce can get without the addition of capsaicin oil or extract. So if you are looking for authentic Caribbean heat in a thick mustard-vinegar base, without any fruitiness or sugar, then Matouk's Flambeau will be sure to satisfy! Use this sauce with care on any dish that would benefit from fiery heat - serious chiliheads even use Matouk's Flambeau as a condiment for scrambled eggs and omelets, hamburgers and sandwiches, and grilled meat and chicken.
