Gindo’s Spicy Romesco Hot Sauce is probably the mildest of all the Gindo’s sauces that I’ve had. But that’s not a knock or critique against it at all—I love this hot sauce and I wouldn’t want it any spicier! It works wonderfully exactly how it is. Because it is spicy just…more in the flavor palette…

Luxardo Original Maraschino Cherries are a brand of Italian candied cherries that are drenched in a rich syrup. These aren’t anything like the sweet, bright red maraschino cherries you might commonly find in grocery stores. They are black, rich, and not quite sweet. Also they clearly say they are “ideal for cocktails”. If you open…

Gindo’s Hip Hip Churray hot sauce, a collaboration with the Foreign Exchange Brewing Co., is probably the darkest hued Gindo’s sauce I’ve had. It makes sense—it’s made with beer and cocoa. Beer is usually a turn off for me so I was skeptical of this hot sauce, but the cocoa aspect was enticing. I was…

So, I have a slightly weird history with Vukoo Bars, this gourmet protein bar brand. A pack of Almond Brownie Vukoo bars were given to one of my family members as a gift last year. We froze them as recommended (it was said they tasted better that way). Didn’t really eat them all that much…

Another Gindo’s hot sauce! This time it’s green and has avocado in it. Hence Spicy Avocado. At first, I wasn’t sure if the avocado in the title was like due to the color or to say “use this with avocado”. It is true, though. It does contain avocado, along with jalapeno peppers and other fun/spicy…

I’ve had Gindo’s ‘special’ Christmas sauces, but now…now I have had their award winning original hot sauce! Fresh and Spicy it says. I can’t really speak to freshness, but it’s spicy and very good. It’s a really simple, straight forward hot sauce in a nice tall bottle. It exists in the same space as Mule…

This is the FIRST bread product I have ever reviewed on Selective Elective. We don’t usually eat much bread goods…but I have a soft spot for English Muffins (Thomas brand) for breakfast occasionally. I picked Dave’s Killer Bread Classic English Muffins up as part of an Imperfect Foods box and we promptly ate the entire…

The last of Gindo’s Ghost of Christmas 6th annual set: ‘Future’! It’s a muddy, dark red hot sauce that is accented with tomato, black garlic, and olive. WARNING: HOT STUFF! As I said in the ‘Present’ review, it was a bit intense for me for reasons unknown. It was easier to tolerate than ‘Present’. Less…

The second of the Gindo’s 6th Annual Ghost of Christmas set! ‘Past’ was reviewed here. Present is a red hued hot sauce made of ghost, scorpion, and reaper peppers plus black truffle! Again, warning: THIS IS A HOT SAUCE! VERY HOT! It’s definitely hot sauce. It includes black truffle, and that flavor does come through…

I received Gindo’s Ghost of Christmas 6th Annual Hot Sauce box set as a gift. They are a local (to me) hot sauce business, though, this was the first time I ever had a Gindo’s product. I was super excited to try the sauces after reading about them and their products. I started in chronological…
