Maple Chipotle: A Sweet and Smoky Symphony
If you’re a fan of spicy food and enjoy the smoky flavour of barbecue, you'll love Chipotle! Chipotle peppers are smoked and dried jalapeños, offering a bold, smoky heat that excites the taste buds. Picture this: a flavour explosion as the smoky, spicy punch of Chipotle peppers cuts through the rich, caramel-like sweetness of maple syrup.
As these flavours combine, they strike an irresistible balance – the maple tempers the heat of the Chipotle, while the peppers add depth to the syrup’s sweetness. It’s a flavour journey that hits all the right notes: sweet, spicy, smoky and savoury. Perfect for snacks, sprinkle it on potato crisps or corn curls, or use it as a dipping sauce or marinade for chicken to create a delicious treat.
Mango Habanero: Duality of Sweet and Warmth Delights
Habanero peppers are incredibly hot, measuring between 100,000 and 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) on the Scoville Scale. Our Habanero seasoning is the perfect balance of heat and flavour, featuring a fiery blend of Caribbean Red habaneros, shallot, garlic, and an assortment of spices. The addition of fruit helps to mellow the spiciness, creating a harmonious and balanced seasoning.
The tangy sweetness of ripe mango transitions into the spicy warmth of habanero peppers, adding complexity and depth to this flavour explosion, offering a unique taste experience that is both refreshing and exhilarating.
Whether sprinkled on crisps or your favourite snacks, Mango Habanero seasoning promises an extraordinary culinary adventure. Discover the irresistible allure of Mango Habanero – where every bite is a journey to a flavour paradise!
