Marie’s habanero pepper sauces are produced in her beloved home country of Belize and are revered by chilli-heads the world over for their exceptional quality and freshness of flavour.
Marie Sharp’s Mild Habanero has all the flavour of her hotter sauces but the heat level has been tamed.
This is a fantastic entry level sauce for those wishing to experience the true magic of what Marie has to offer.
A truly exceptional sauce from a truly exceptional lady.

This is one of my favourite Marie Sharp’s sauces, it has plenty of flavour and a decent amount of heat. The sauce literally goes well with everything. I just love it and if you haven’t tried it already then I know you will too.

Best hot sauce ever
I had a restaurant in Belize and no eatery would dare to serve food without a bottle of Marie Sharp’s on every table. What makes it the best is not just the heat but the depth of flavour.

This is a cunning beast: as you eat it, smothered innocently over your chicken bites for example, it tastes pretty innocuous on the heat scale and fairly subtle in flavour terms.
As you relish it in the mouth, the fresh taste comes to bear and maybe it’s the carrot base for the sauce that gives it that little bit of a ‘pop’. Not vinegary or chemically at all, just a pleasant vegetable flavour throughout.
Give it a minute, and then the Habanero slow burn begins to ramp up and up in your mouth and throat and you realise there’s more to this than you suspected! It’s a pleasant burn, and 6 on the good Doctor’s rating scale seems fair enough – this is the mild version of course, so it doesn’t outstay its welcome though, and so recovery is pretty straightforward. I do wonder that the full-moo version must do to you, though…
As nice as all this is the flavour profile remains quite subtle for my palette (ruined, no doubt, by the numerous hot sauces I’ve been yamming!) and that’s why it’s a 4-star rating and not the full score.
But make no mistake – it’s a really nice sauce…!
