About Vesuvius Italian Sriracha Hot Sauce
Here’s what Chef Iron Mike has to say about his Vesuvius Italian Sriracha Hot Sauce:
Be careful when you open up this bottle and awaken this volcanic hot sauce. It’s a combination of red serrano and calabrian peppers, infused with garlic, onions, and italian herbs. This italian hot sauce is one of a kind and phenomenal on pizza, pasta, meatballs, sausage and peppers, or any italian favorite to take your fra diablo experience to a whole new level.

Spicy Addict Review
The Vesuvius Italian Sriracha Hot Sauce starts with a slight natural sweetness from Tomatoes balanced by a mild tartness of Red Wine Vinegar. The two compliment each other well. These are joined by savory flavors of Onion, Garlic and other spices. There is even the slightest herbal quality that arises from the inclusion of Basil in this sauce. Next the flavor and heat of the Serrano Peppers begin to rise above the rest pulling this Italian style condiment squarely into the realm of “hot sauce”. Finally, you are left with a slight salty finish with the lingering flavor of peppers.
This sauce would compliment meat and vegetable dishes where a Mediterranean quality is desired. Neither the sweetness nor the tartness overpower the food. This sauce is on the milder side with a heat reaching into the high 1s or 2 on a 5-point scale.
