Biodynamic Habanero Sauce

Demeter-certified Italian habanero and red jalapeño peppers — the hottest sauce in the range

Intense and fiery flavour, without thickeners: only the pulp of the peppers

Habanero Sauce from Acetaia Guerzoni

Habanero Sauce is made using one of the hottest chili peppers grown in Italy, combined with red jalapeño: the result is a bold and unique sauce, with an intense and unmistakable flavor, perfect for use in small quantities. It is the spiciest of the entire Guerzoni range. Like all the ingredients in the vinegar factory, the habanero is grown according to the highest standards of Demeter-certified organic and biodynamic agriculture, and the peppers are harvested in Italy by farms that have been dedicated to biodynamics for years. Free of thickeners, the sauce maintains a completely natural consistency, guaranteed exclusively by the pepper pulp.
 
 
 

The roots of this sauce lie in the most aromatic chili pepper in the Caribbean.

The habanero pepper takes its name from Havana, but its history begins much earlier and elsewhere: the oldest archaeological evidence comes from the Peruvian Amazon, and the Yucatán Peninsula is its undisputed kingdom today. What distinguishes it from other chili peppers is not only its potency—which earned it the absolute top spot on the Scoville scale for years—but its aromatic profile: beneath the heat lie fruity, almost tropical notes, reminiscent of apricot and citrus. This is why the habanero pepper doesn't simply burn, it adds flavor. The jalapeño, its partner in this recipe, is the most common Mexican chili pepper in the world and adds body, vegetal sweetness, and a much more moderate spiciness. The ratio—45% jalapeño, 2% habanero—is what makes the salsa fiery yet subtle, never harsh.
 
 
 

Choosing Habanero Sauce means taking care of yourself

Four ingredients on the label, no thickeners, no added preservatives: wine vinegar, jalapeño, habanero, and salt, all organic and biodynamic. The chili pepper owes its spiciness to capsaicin, the molecule studied for its ability to stimulate peripheral circulation and thermogenesis, and also provides good amounts of vitamin C and carotenoids. With just 24 kcal per 100 ml and a dose measured in drops, the calorie intake is negligible: what it really adds is character. Just one caveat: containing 2,4 g of salt per 100 ml, it should be used sparingly by those following a low-sodium diet.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Habanero Sauce

• ON GRILLED MEATS, RIBS AND HAMBURGERS: this is its natural destination — use it as a marinade before cooking on Organic pork ribs, or as a dipping sauce next to Extra Biodynamic Hamburger and a Free Range Chicken in Pieces roast.
• IN ASIAN DISHES, FOR A FIERY NOTE: A few drops transform noodles, fried rice and tempura — try it on stir-fried rice with Organic Baldo Rice, Fresh Organic Ginger and crunchy vegetables.
• WITH MATURE CHEESES, FOR THE MOST INTERESTING CONTRAST: Spicy against creaminess always works — pair it with flakes of Parmigiano Reggiano di Montagna DOP 30 Months, Pecorino Romano DOP Organic or a Organic Grangessato Blue Cheese, having a Spiga Beer with Ancient Grains to refresh.

The Producer: Acetaia Guerzoni

Acetaia Guerzoni, Demeter-certified since 1984, has extended to its condiments the same philosophy that made it the first vinegar producer in the world to produce organic and biodynamic balsamic vinegar: individually traced Italian raw materials, extremely short ingredient lists, and no industrial shortcuts. Even when it comes to a spicy sauce, the principle remains the same.
