It's really hard to find truly pure habanero sauce. This one is the real deal. Most other hab sauces I've tried are either blended with carrots and tomatoes or they're supplemented with pure capsicum for "blow-your-brains-out" heat. Yes, this sauce is very hot, but it's hot on its own merits and you can taste the actual pepper flavor, which is why I like hot sauces in the first place. This is a true gourmet hot sauce, not some culinary toy to play Jackass-style pranks with.

The town tat I currently live is small and sells very little spicy food. Other than a jar of my favorite habanero salsa (Mrs. Renfros, God bless), there is almost nothing to be found. The produce section occasionally has habanero and jalapeno peppers, but I suppose they just aren't in demand over here. This product is wonderful. It's not some habanero flavored hot sauce, it just is habanero sauce, and you will taste it. It permeates whatever recipe you use it in more thoroughly and subtly than even the pepper itself could, though there is no mistaking the flavor. This is pure habanero. It's a bit pricy (and sometimes hard to get out of the bottle - the sauce is thick and the container is glass), but a little goes a long way. Definitely worth the purchase for anybody who likes the habanero flavor in their cooking.

Pure Habanero added amazing flavor and great heat to a recent batch of chili I made. It seemed to add a depth to the flavors that were already present as well as its own amazing flavor. A few drops to several cups at a time really kicked up the heat which is exactly what I was looking for though I certainly would sample straight from the bottle. Speaking of the bottle though, the extract is very thick and the bottle is glass with a narrow neck. It's just about impossible to get anything out. I used a straw but a better bottle design would be nice or include a suction dropper like children's medicines come with.

Over the years, I've developed a tolerance for hot spicy food. This product trumps all. It gives you respect. The only problem is the bottle it comes in. It's hard to get it out and the cork gets messy. How about a squeeze bottle?

My 15 year old son looooooves this sauce. He ran out of a bottle we had gotten last year. Personally, I am a wimp in the hot sauce world, but he puts this sauce on everything: sandwiches, hot wings, eggs, pizza, you name it. If you the type that like to spice things up, this sauce will do the trick!
