Matouk's Calypso Sauce Hot Sauce (10 FL.OZ. / 300 ml): One of our favorites due to it's truly unique flavor which is inspired by the rhythm of the Caribbean music. Calypso rhythms can be traced back to the arrival of the first African slaves brought to work in the sugar plantations of Trinidad. Forbidden to talk to each other, and robbed of all links to family and home, the African slaves began to sing songs. They used calypso, which can be traced back to West African Kaiso, as a means of communication and to mock the slave masters. These songs helped to unite the slaves and so ingrained a rich culture and tradition amongst the people of the Caribbean.
Ingredients: Pickled Scotch Bonnet, Mustard, Cane Sugar, Onion, Garlic, Celery Seed.
From Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies.

Favorite Matouk'S Sauce
I First Saw The Matouk'S Brand Of Sauces In St. Maarten. This Is My Favorite Of The Family . It Is The Most Popular On The Island And Served In Many Restaurants. Not To Hot So You Can Still Taste Your Food And Has Consistency Unlike Other Sauces That Tend To Run. Great On Garden Salads To Spice Up The Dressing.

Packs Good Heat A Bit Salty
There'S A Nice Kick To It Where My Lips Has A Tinkle Sensation. It'S A Bit Salty For Me Though. Goes Good With Jambalaya Or Fried Rice. On Steamed Fish And Chicken. It Is Almost Like A Louisiana Hot Sauce (The Saltiness) But Hotter. Probably Goes Good With Fried Chicken. Good Price. A Little Hotter Than Tobasco Red Pepper Hot Sauce . A Good Size Bottle Too.
