WOW
I just got a package in today a little unexpectedly. Got hooked up with a HUGE bottle of sauce and wow. I'm not sure if you're still looking for feedback, but here it goes anyway.
I liked the test batch of the sauce. It had a lot of good qualities but to me it was a little sweet and lacked...
I think they're probably shipped under ripe because the manzanos are mostly just bland and sour. Great source for seeds though. Almost 100% germination, but I forgot about 'em and let them die before they broke the dirt.

Personally, I'd just cut a piece off the top and fill it without worrying about "injecting". Just cut a slab off and fill the rest with the cheese, then if you want to just put the cut off piece back over top the hole
