Mango

The marriage of mango and chili peppers is a classic in the hot sauce world for a reason. Mango provides a thick, syrupy body and a natural sweetness that acts as a fire retardant, rounding out the sharp sting of high-heat peppers. The natural sugars in mango help neutralize the perceived burn of the capsaicin, allowing you to taste the fruit's profile before the heat kicks in. While mangos are sweet, they also have a bright acidity that complements the fermentation or vinegar used in the bottling process.
