Manzano Serrano LIMITED EDITION

Queen Majesty

This bottle has a best before date of 30th June 2026, which means I have cheerfully taken 25% off the price rather than letting it gather dust in the laboratory. Before you clutch your pearls, a best before date is about quality, not safety. The sauce remains perfectly good to enjoy. At worst, a few of those bright citrus notes may have mellowed their enthusiasm. At best, you’ve just acquired a limited-edition hot sauce at a price that would make even my accountant crack a smile. I have always had a soft spot for sauces that know when not to punch you in the face with heat. This limited-edition offering from Queen Majesty takes a more refined approach. The Manzano and Serrano peppers bring a gentle warmth, while bright citrus notes keep everything fresh, crisp and dangerously easy to pour. Rather than overpowering your food, this sauce slips alongside it and quietly makes everything taste better. I found it particularly splendid with grilled prawns, fish tacos and oysters, but it also works wonders drizzled over salads, avocado dishes and ceviche. If your usual hot sauce habit involves setting fire to your taste buds, this may come as a pleasant surprise. Elegant, refreshing and packed with flavour.
