Cholula hot sauce is a brand that admits to not contributing the hottest of hot sauces. Instead, their claim to fame is striking a balance of heat and flavors. Over a few days, I tried various Cholula hot sauce flavors with fried porked chops, fried fish and steamed shrimp. The flavors tested were original, chili lime, chili garlic and chipotle. The taste testers include people who love for hot sauce to those who are not generally fans, ages seven to you do not ask anymore.
Chipotle has a smokey flavor. This is one of my favorites and a favorite among the taste testers.
Food Match: Pork Chops
And the Winner is...Chili Lime, a citris pairing with heat which contributes to authentic flavors of Mexico. Moreover, it is an excellent sauce flavor.
Food Match: Fish, Shrimp
Chili Garlic has a slight kick and prominent garlic flavor
Food Match: Shrimp, Chili and marinades
Original is tasty but not a classic hot sauce for people looking for heat.
