Mexican Umami hot sauce

Mexican Umami is a handcrafted hot sauce built on a traditionally fermented base of habanero peppers, chocolate bhut jolokia, garlic, and onion. After fermentation, a carefully selected blend of authentic Mexican peppers, black garlic, tamarind, roasted cacao nibs, cinnamon, lime, and oregano is incorporated to create a sauce with remarkable depth, richness, and complexity.

Layers of ancho, guajillo, pasilla, and mulato peppers provide a deep earthy backbone while black garlic contributes a subtle sweetness and savory umami character. Tamarind and lime brighten the sauce with a gentle tang, while roasted cacao nibs and cinnamon add warmth and complexity inspired by traditional Mexican flavors. The result is a bold yet balanced sauce that delivers rich flavor without overwhelming heat.
