El Kapo Hot Sauce

Caribbean Jerk is the maker's homage to a Caribbean staple: salty, sweet and peppery, with plenty of citrus. Jerk is the barbecue seasoning of Jamaica, and the maker has made a hot sauce in that style.

It is the peppery, citrus-led sauce of the ones we list. Original is hot and sweet and takes its flavours from New Orleans, Roast Garlic & Chipotle is smoky and savoury, and the two fruit sauces are Smoked Pineapple & Ginger and Mango & Lime. The maker's page does not list ingredients or a heat level.

Made by El Kapo Hot Sauce, a Margaret River business run by a chef with about 20 years in professional kitchens.

Questions

What does jerk mean?

  • The coast is free. The caves are not.
