Kato Productions, run by Mick andRita Pinckney, recently sent me a sample of their spicy products and in the one week since I’ve opened the bottles I have only about 1/2 a bottle of each left.
Kato’s Meaner Greener Habanero Sauce – Now, I’m not much into green hot sauces, but the garlic and green habaneros in this sauce are outsanding. I’ve tested it on eggs, ground beef and salad – it’s the real deal. This sauce tastes great on everything!
Kato’s Island Sauce Habanero & Mango – With an good mustard base, this island sauce reminds me of an excellent indian curry that I once had. With the habanero & cayenne peppers in this bottle ensuring that Kato’s Island Sauce is hotter then most curries I come across. With such a unique flavor I was hesitant to try this on anythin major at first, so I tested it on plain rice, which of course turn out great, even the wife was eating it. Since then I looked up the recipes on Kato’s site and whipped up the grilled chicken breast. The smell was incredible as the chicken was cooking. My taste buds were drooling and after I finished my forehead was sweating a little bit.
Kato’s Habanero Chocolate Bar – Now, I’m not a fan of chocolate usually, but this one I had to try. This habanero chocolate bar was much better then the Vosges Chocolate Bar that I tried previously. The heat is not as hot as I was expecting, but it did gradually rise as I ate a little more. The flavor of the chocolate and the heat of the habanero balance each other out in a way that I haven’t tasted before. If your a fan of hot foods, hot sauce or gourmet foods – try this chocolate bar!

There’s something about habanero and chocolate that go well together. Not quite the duo of peanut butter & chocolate, but still good. I remember fondly trying some of the Cowgirl chocolates a few years back and liking it quite a bit. Ever try those?
Also, for a “different” sorta chili…try adding some unsweetened chocolate to a pot of ‘red’ chili. With a little allspice or cinnamon, you get a Cincy variant that’s pretty decent.
Theese hot sauces are awsome. Thanks Kato!

One of my favaorit treats is a Kato Bar. mmmm And speaking of peanutbutter, mix in some chipotle powder into your jar of PB, not that is living too.
That Red Cinnamon Syrup sounds very interesting.

Taste makes me think of chili. Can taste cuming, I believe. A great taste. Sweet, but with a little bite. The taste stays there for awhile, with several flavors evident. But I wouldn’t say that they’re competing with each other, just providing a nice taste sensation. I could put this sauce on most anything! Well balanced sauce.

THT are HUGE fans of the Kato Bars. We put them in all of our gift baskets. YUM!
after reading in the CHILIPEPPER mag, about the KATO bar. had to try. what took me so long. mellow at first, bites you back. enjoy the burn
I have sampled literally hundreds of suace and Katos is absolutely my favorite. The island sauce is the best sauce of ny kind I have ever tasted. It matches any food you can make. From slow cooked pork to braised beef it is better than any wine pairing you can find. I only wish my local grocery store carried it.
