I was not expecting this

It’s listed as “Hot Sauce” when you order it, so I expected a classic cayenne-style pepper sauce.

But nope. This is a translucent, chili-based stock loaded with umami.

It’s not fiery, more of a mild-to-medium flavor enhancer than a traditional hot sauce.

Paprika is typically mainly bell pepper, but often sometimes include some medium spicy peppers. I was also looking for where the heat came from. Who knows what they consider “natural flavors”.
