Encona Original Hot Pepper Sauce is a classic, vinegar-based chilli sauce from the Encona range that brings bright, tangy heat to a wide variety of dishes. It is made by blending ripe hot peppers with vinegar and seasonings to create a smooth, pourable red sauce with a fresh chilli aroma, a lively acidic backbone and a steady, moderate-to-hot burn that enhances rather than overwhelms food. The flavour is straightforward and versatile, lending Caribbean-inspired warmth and a peppery depth to everything from everyday sandwiches and eggs to marinades, stir-fries and barbecued meats. The sauce’s thin consistency and clean, piquant taste make it easy to mix into dressings, sauces and soups or to use simply as a table condiment for adding an instant hit of heat and brightness.

To use, shake the bottle and add to taste—start with a few drops if you prefer mild heat and increase until you reach the desired level. Stir into marinades, soups, stews and dressings or drizzle over finished dishes like grilled fish, chicken, tacos, pizza and eggs to lift the flavours. Keep the unopened bottle in a cool, dry place and refrigerate after opening to maintain quality. As with all chilli products, avoid contact with eyes and sensitive skin and check the label for any ingredient or allergy information before use.
