[REVIEW] Agent 80 Hot Sauce
Agent 80 Hot Sauce has been created by Jason, an ex-bartender who has blended chilli, lime and vinegar in a magnificent way, and managed to take a traditional hot sauce blend and deliver something completely different. We recently met in Perth were he described to me his vision for all natural products and ingredients and gave me a sneak peek of an upcoming new project he is working on...very tasty!

Perfect for Hot Sauce: Habanero
This is the chilli you’ll want to add to your meals to make for an extremely spicy salsa. Forget the mild Jalapeño, and don’t bother with anything spicier, for the average citizen the Habanero is the perfect addition for a strong salsa to really add a hard kick to the dish. In fact most modern day hot sauces will feature the habanero to really add that special tang to the salsa. For your regular person it will burn but is the perfect stepping stone into the world of the unbearable hot.
