Salsa Espinaler Hot Spanish Sauce

This sauce is the bomb. Don't confuse it with your standard hot sauce. It's not very hot, but great spice for eggs, seafood and anything else you want to jazz up. One thing to note though, it is vinegar based, so it does have a vinegary taste. But if you like balsamic or red wine vinegars, it will be right up your alley. First saw it on a YouTube channel where they used it as an accent on sardines straight from the tin.

I want to hate this overpriced bottle of vinegar. It is just vinegar with a few dried spices in it. I wanna give it like 2 stars. But Damn! It really is perfect on canned seafood. I find myself reaching for so often that I knew I had to write this review. I tried to replace it with white vinegar, red wine vinegar, rice vinegar, apple cider vinegar. I tried adding some paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, white pepper. UGH! Fine. I accept defeat. This overpriced bottle of vinegar has just the right amount of stuff in it to make it more than just a bottle of vinegar. No way am I gonna give it 5 stars, not at $10.00 for a tiny bottle. But I will say you should give it a try.

This is a very thin, vinegar based sauce. It can be used on it’s own, but pairs well with other hot sauces as well as citrus. They also make spicier versions. It is wonderful on sardines. 🐟

This sauce is terrible, it's nothing but vinegar. There there are much better hot sauces out there with good value and more importantly good flavor this is a ripoff.

Personally, I think its great on peas, salads, pizza, and practically everything vegetable-y or fatty.

Its OK. Not super flavorful. A lot of vinegar so I like it with tinned mussels and sardines. Just wish the flavor kick and heat was stronger. Also, the bottle showed up covered in the contents of another bottle. Quality control is lacking.

This sauce is so good with conservas. It is a little spicy, but not really a hot sauce in terms of heat. A good vinegar flavor, but I wish it was a bit cheaper as it is in the higher cost bracket of sauces.

I put it on sardines and tuna, keep in mind it is a light vinegar and black pepper taste. Different than a standard crystal hot sauce
