Customers Reviews

I visited the street market in Bristol while on tour with my band and as any Mexican I needed a good sauce for the road and oh man, this was by far the tastiest hot sauce I tried in the UK. Felicidades!

Honestly the best compliment to cheese/a spoon that I’ve ever tasted!

Holy heck! Bought some stuff at Cheesefest in Aberdeen and literally blew me breeks off! I am currently lying in the middle of living room with a large glass of whisky (Penderyn Welsh Whisky, go on give it a try) a stack of butter biscuits, a mahoosive chunk of Wensleydale cheese and a bottle of Jalapeno Loco. I’m in heaven.

Beer, bacon and chili jam. Take a moment to say that phrase aloud and let those words resonate whilst you reflect back… Yes. You did say it. Beer AND bacon. Two of the finest things present right now on this pale blue dot peacefully coexisting, suspended, within a glass jar. This actually exists and yes – it is as good as it sounds. I would suggest giving it a try on toasted cheese. “Worcester sauce? Whut’s that..?” you’ll say…and just like it says on the jar; you’ll find yourself with a fork munching it straight from the jar at some point in time.
