Fat Cat Surprisingly Mild Guajillo Ghost

Now here’s a rare beast—a ghost pepper sauce that doesn’t punch you in the face and steal your dignity. Fat Cat’s Surprisingly Mild Guajillo Ghost is the introvert of the superhot world: it skulks about with guajillo chillies, cumin, oregano and a tangy vinegar sting, offering flavour over fire. A bit like a Mexican grandmother—plenty of warmth, but she won’t set your trousers ablaze. Slap it on tacos, baptise your burritos, or let it marinate meat like a master. The ghost is here, but it’s haunting your tastebuds with finesse, not fear.

Surprisingly Mild Guajillo Ghost: Tex-Mex Hot Sauce and Marinade by Fat Cat Gourmet is a truly unique ghost pepper sauce! Mixed with savory guajillo chilies and select spices, this condiment uses the ghost pepper’s fruity earthy flavor (not it’s numbing heat) to create the perfect complement for Mexican and Southwestern cuisine. Lots of flavor with no real bite, if you will.

Tasting Notes:Tart, sharp and punchy out of the gate, with lots of cumin, oregano, fruity dried guajillo peppers, earthy-berry-like ghost peppers and vinegar on the main palate, and a long, spice-driven (i.e. cumin, oregano, mild dried chilies) finish and a sting of vinegar. While not very spicy it’s still extremely full-flavoured.
