This is one of the best green sauces you’ll ever taste. Promise.

I’ve got to get an order in.

Another great sauce from a great local (AZ) producer.

(I’m one of those buy locally, think globally asshats.)

Moreover, I agree completely about cilantro, I think it is a highly underestimated ingredient in all salsas.

Great review! And so many comments from the makers!?

Tomatillo tastes “limey” if you will excuse the expression, both fresh and cooked.

Mexican oregano is not on the list of ingredients and the smoked chiles have the smoky taste covered.

Wow, what great responses, right from the source no less, and your explanation for the heat thing makes alot of sense. I think the aesthetics of the label lend themselves well to the type of bottle i could see on a restaurant table, and in that sense, i guess the “HOT” would be aimed at a more mainstream “granny” crowd.

i did bring this one home for christmas and came back with only about a quarter of a bottle, so it was well received by my family, for sure.

I’ll be honest, I was initially concerned that I would come across as having some sort of tantrum… Which I’m not. I’m thankful it wasn’t taken as such.

I always find it interesting to delve deeper into the thought process of these types of things. In this case graphics, marketing and general product presentation. You may be surprised in the amount of thought that usually goes into these things… or not

Thanks again

Thanks Doug. Yeah I’m still around just very very busy dealing with stuff around home. I’m comfortable leaving things alone in here because I know AJ has definitely become a presence in here.

And thanks for the props on the label… it definitely seems to be a favorite of a lot of people. They all get better with experience.

Until having tried this green sauce, the Iguana Mean Green was my favorite green. Now it’s this one!!! I love it, especially on fish tacos. Not a good choice for seafood/pasta in my opinion.

For my Southern kin who aren’t sure about what a tomatillo tastes like, it’s very similar to a fried green tomato.

I like the label. It has class, and screams “eat me I’m fresh”.

It’s good stuff..I love it!

my sister brought me some iguana mean green back from costa rica about 4 or 5 years ago and its my favorite green sauce by far, i dont really like alot of green sauces but this one found a permanent spot in my fridge. i will definitly put jacksons on my list just based on your comment. (ditd is already on the list anyway)
