Product Name: AlabamaJacks Exotic Superhots Naga Morich Puree
Style: Superhot puree
Manufacturer: AlabamaJacks Exotic Superhots
Country of Origin: USA
Website:
Ingredients: Fresh naga morich pods, white vinegar, sea salt, agave nectar.
Label/Packaging: I really can't speak much on the label as I have only seen it in picture form. This product is bottled in a half pint mason jar.
Appearance/Aroma: BOOM there it its... peppers! The aroma is stong, pronounced. As there is little more to this it is hard to even make out the vinegar. It's all about the peppers just the way it should be. You can smell the freshness and I just imagine little naga elves churning this up right before it goes into the pot and bottles.
Body of Review:
I have had a few of AJ's products in the past and have always known that what I was getting was pure quality just like the man that makes them. I popped this open and the smell is intense. I happen to love the smell of fresh pods. That is what a puree is all about. At first glance it looks like a pizza sauce. Don't let that fool you, there is pure unadulterated heat in there! The taste for anyone who has not yet eaten a naga morich pod is a bit fruity and sweet for about ten seconds, then a bit more pungent as the heat begins to build to a fiery crescendo. This puree is probably the best I have had as it is simply all pepper. There is just enough vinegar to get the pH stable, a little salt, and a little agave nectar to balance it out. If you didn't tell me though, I would swear it was just peppers. The heat really does get intense. I am sweating and burning as I write this. Of course, I made the mistake of treating this as a hot sauce when I poured it onto my food. I guess it goes without saying that you need to use with care.
Heat Level: 10+
Applications: The great thing about a puree is the variety of ways you can use it. You can add other ingredients and make a sauce out of it, you can mix it with BBQ sauce, pasta sauce (as I did), and add it to chili or soups, or if you dare just use it as a hot sauce. I have used it in two ways. As a condiment on a quesadilla, and mixed in a marinara sauce on a sausage sandwich.
Appearance Score: 5
Aroma Score: 5
Taste Score: 5
Mouthfeel Score: 5
Heat Accuracy Score: 5
Overall Score: 5
Notes: As I said this is simply the best puree I have ever had. I cannot find a single flaw so this has to be the first product that I have reviewed that gets a perfect score. It's even better that the first perfect score for me goes to my friend and yours, AlabamaJack.
