Taste of Sichuan

Did you know that Sichuan peppercorns play a clever role in Chinese cuisine during winter? The unique numbing and tingling sensation they create on your tongue can make your body feel warmer. It's like a natural trick to fight off the cold! Hence, "Sichuan peppercorns" became a secret flavorful weapon. Known for its unique numbing sensation called “mala”.

The term combines two Chinese characters: "ma" (麻), meaning numbing, and "la" (辣), meaning spicy. It's a cultural tradition, evident in their annual "Chilli King" competition, where brave souls push their limits with fiery dishes.

Sichuan peppercorns do more than just make your mouth tingle! They've been around for ages in China, used in special ceremonies way back in the Zhou dynasty (think 1046-771 BC). People even thought they could heal you, and some poets loved their smell. They said it can make you feel good and live a long time. Talk about a well-rounded spice!

Awesome...

I have tried quite a few of the Chilzo products and they are always of outstanding quality, so I expected this one to be nothing less. I had not tried a harissa sauce before though, so I did not know what I was in for. The intensity was good, the aftertaste was good, the colour was great, the packaging is easy to navigate.

Yummy!!

On tasting the sauce I was both relieved and incredibly glad that I had requested it. It is delicious- tomatoey, flavoursome and ever so slightly smokey. There is the smallest kick of heat, but nothing to overpower the aromatic spices and sweet vegetables. I used it as a dip alongside some chips- this was out of this world, especially when I added a small blob of aioli on the top. It was also really great alongside a burger and onion relish in a bun for dinner.

Chilzo Sauces only!

I think this is the nicest harissa sauce I have ever tried. Eight of us tested it over several days and not one person made a negative comment. Although full of flavour, it is unusually mild for a harissa which meant it appealed even to the youngest child.
