Hot news! After its own sriracha, Tabasco is launching another new sauce: Tabasco Rocoto. A mildly spicy red sauce with a hint of sweetness.

The Rocoto sauce is made with the Peruvian pepper (capsicum pubescens) from the Andes Mountains. This pepper is one of the most widely used ingredients in Peruvian cuisine. The pepper has the shape of a small apple, making it easy to distinguish from the other spicy ones.

Mildly spicy

Unlike Tabasco Habanero and Scorpion sauce, Rocoto is fairly mild. So, no sweat-inducing scenes. How come? The pepper blend is mixed with maple syrup, a splash of original Tabasco and spices such as cinnamon and cardamom. In short: the perfect flavor enhancer for your salads, roasted meat or even fresh fruit.
