Csigi... pronounced "siggy", I imagine. Or is it "see gee"?
I like the colors on the label, but I don't quite get the logo. Some sort of abstract painting? Anyway...
Let's forget the name and the label. This is one heck of a sauce! I used it as a dipping sauce for a Cuban empanada (Cuban sandwich style empanada), and I mixed it in with my Cuban beef stew. Delicious! This sauce has red peppers and tomatoes, so it's perfect for adding to stews.
Spoon test:
Perfectly pungent... nice little tang going on. The Red Savina flavor is bright. There's a slight burn a few seconds later that lingers for a few seconds and then disappears. Makes your lips burn too. Nice! It's liquidy and coarse, if that makes any sense. It's not one of those sauces that clogs up the bottle, which is nice. It's smooth, with some texture, like they liquefied part of the sauce, pulsed the other, and added them together. Either that or they have food processors with multiple personalities. Really nice job on consistency.
Arrow root as a thickening agent... these guys are all about quality. No corn starch here! Arrowroot is expensive, and it's a great thickener that adds it's own unique flavor. Turbinado sugar. Quality.
Great flavor, nice heat... perfect for stews and sandwiches.
