Pleasantly surprised 🌶️

First time I’ve ever seen it and knew I had to try. Pleasantly surprised with the heat! Has anyone else tried?

I was impressed. The jar did not last very long.

Had more of a kick than I expected from a mass market salsa.

I think companies are learning if they put ghost pepper or Carolina reaper on the label, they can get away with more.

Buyers should know what they are getting into at that point.

Ive always liked tostitos dips. Their queso with a little tobacco scorpion goes crazy

I really like the Mrs Renfro's Reaper Salsa, might give this one a shot.

Wait there's a reaper version? My local store only has the habanero!

Yeah and a Ghost pepper nachos cheese sauce that is also great.

You need to DM me some sites where I can get salsa from

Read it right here! Most groceries carry Renfro’s Ghost Pepper. I prefer the taste of the habanero. Heck, I think WallyWorld has the Ghost. Very limited distribution on their reaper. Makes me sad.

Our Wally world definitely only has habanero..I would've seen the ghost pepper

I enjoyed the salsa on its own. I mixed the second jar I had with some chorizo queso blanco I made and oh boy it was good

Very good flavor and sufficient heat, I was shocked as well. It is one of my favorites.

I'd love to find this. Though some grocery stores don't even carry hot salsa. Maybe it just doesn't sell, since a lot of places only have mild and medium.

Their habanero is good in a pinch. No need to refrigerate

I haven’t seen this yet. What’s the price point?

It’s made with extract tho, right? I’m a Matteo’s Hot/Extra Hot slut myself, Kroger always keeps me stocked.
