Name: Chipotle & Garlic

Pepper / Sauce Type: Chipotle
Another disappointing hot sauce from Heinz. Initially your hit with a strong vinegar taste followed by something that I can only describe as a synthetic chipotle flavour.
The third ingredient is the chipotle at 4% meaning the first two ingredients, vinegar and tomato puree are the huge majority of this sauce.
In my opinion Heinz will never produce a great hot sauce. Bulk production and shelf life see to that.
Nothing can match the care and attention of a local company growing their own peppers and crafting their own artisan sauces.
Heat: 4 out of 10

Overall: 3 out of 10
Because of the size of the company maybe I’m expecting more and am a little harsh with my review? It just tastes like something that’s been processed to death.
