Encona West Indian Original Hot Pepper – 220ml

Encona West Indian Original Hot Pepper Sauce is built around a high proportion of pepper mash (typically Scotch bonnet and habanero), blended with vinegar, mustard, onion, and spices. This creates a sharp, pepper-forward flavour profile with noticeable heat and a tangy edge that is characteristic of traditional Caribbean hot sauces.

This sauce is widely used in Caribbean cooking and UK kitchens, commonly paired with grilled chicken, fish, rice dishes, vegetables, and sandwiches. Its smooth, pourable consistency makes it suitable as both a table sauce and a cooking ingredient, where it can be added directly to marinades, stews, or finishing sauces.

The flavour is distinctly West Indian: tangy and acidic up front, followed by fruity Scotch bonnet warmth and a lingering chilli heat. It is designed for versatility rather than extreme intensity, making it suitable for everyday use in small to moderate amounts.

Encona’s Original is one of the brand’s core staples, recognised for consistent flavour and reliable heat across both traditional Caribbean dishes and general cooking applications.
