Mike – Gunther’s Gourmet Jalapeno Salsa Fresca was a bit of a let down.  The salsa sounds and looks good, but is more like a spaghetti sauce.  The sauce is quite chunky and lacking on the flavor side.  The flavor is good, but very lite, actually pushing bland.  I can not recommend this salsa and believe that even Pace Picante Sauce has a  better flavor.  As for the heat of this salsa, it is almost non-existent.  You notice a very slight hint of spiciness in this salsa so I am rating the salsa a 1 out of 10 on the heat scale. 

Josh – This salsa tasted similar to a spaghetti sauce and on a chip this tasted just like spaghetti-o’s to me.  I thought the flavor of the sauce was decent and there was very little heat.  I am rating this salsa a 1 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  Gunther’s Gourmet Fiery Peri-Peri Dark Cherry Salsa has a very unique flavor.  The sauce has the texture of a thin salsa with some chunks.  The initial noticeable taste is similar to a smokey salsa and is followed by a cherry after taste.  This sauce has a great flavor with very little heat, so you don’t need to be a chile head to be able to try this.  I am rating the heat of this salsa a 1 out of 10.

Josh:   I liked Gunther’s Gourmet Fiery Peri-Peri Dark Cherry Salsa, which surprised me because cherries mixed with peppers did not sound good.  The sauce was pretty good by itself, but I didn’t like the salsa on chips.  The heat of this salsa was barely noticeable.  Iam rating this salsa a 1 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  CaJohn’s Oaxaca Hot Sauce is a traditional style taco sauce.  This sauce tastes just like you are sampling a scoop of beef taco meat, it is very good on chips.  If you like beef tacos, you will definitely like this sauce and since the sauce has very little heat anyone can try it.  I rate this sauce a 1 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  CaJohn’s Oaxaca Sauce had an excellent flavor that tasted just like beef tacos.  It had very little heat, but I think the objective of this sauce was a good flavor and they sure nailed it.  I recommend this sauce if you are looking for flavor.  I actually had a second sample of the sauce after the trial was over because it tasted so good and I don’t normally enjoy hot sauces.  Must try!  I am rating this sauce a 2 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike: The Buffalo Jalapeno Mexican Hot Sauce was really quite a let down. On the bottle it says, “very hot” and the sauce was not hot at all. The flavor of the sauce is very similar to ketchup. For those of you who have had ketchup potato chips, I thought this sauce on a chip tasted just like them. If you have a very low heat tolerance and like ketchup, this sauce may be for you. I am rating this sauce a 1 out of 10 on the heat scale.
