Secret Aardvark’s Habanero Hot Sauce has a tomato taste, but it’s still vinegar forward. The ingredients are simple: White wine vinegar, roasted tomatoes, habanero peppers, onion, carrot, sugar, prepared mustard, water, Kosher salt, cornstarch, herbs, and spices.
It’s the carrot and mustard that give it its tangy sweetness atop of the habanero heat. It’s a perfect balance of classic flavors with that added zing. When the onion and peppers hit you, they’re quickly balanced by the tomato, which is what makes it so very addictive. I honestly went through 1/4 of the bottle when eating my tacos. The flavor is just the perfect balance of real heat and sweet flavor that makes it undeniably a go-to hot sauce in my house now.
In terms of heat, it’s hotter than a Cholula sauce (roughly 3,600 SHU), but not as much of a kick as El Yucateco Habanero Sauce (around 8,500 SHU). This is way more family-friendly than the pepper involved implies.

The habanero pepper on the Scoville Heat scale is 100,000 – 350,000 Scoville heat units (SHU), but Secret Aardvark comes nowhere close to this level of spiciness. Think more 5,000 to 7,000 SHU, which makes it about the same heat as a hotter-than-average jalapeño pepper. This sauce will not leave you crying, only wanting more and more.

That said, Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce is not going to be the sauce that impresses everyone with how spicy it is. If you’re looking for something more aligned to pure habanero heat, look to hot sauces with fewer ingredients involved beyond the habanero itself.
Secret Aardvark can genuinely be used on anything from eggs to salads, but it really highlights beans, tacos, and cheese very well. It’s even versatile enough to – I’M NOT KIDDING – bring a bit of bold to sweet cake. If you’re into that kind of thing.

This is a real table sauce – it can sit there right with that ketchup and mustard as an everyday condiment.

Their bottle has the perfect size opening, as big as a pencil eraser. You can drop sauce onto your meal bit by bit, or you can give the plastic bottle a simple squeeze and get the amount you’ll really want. Which is a lot. It’s not a watery consistency; it’s a medium, slightly chunky consistency, which adds more volume to each bite. Again, this bad boy is the star of the meal, in my opinion, which is why I think they sell them in 3 packs online. One is not enough.

Fuck you shill. You come back after I pushed for a reverse engineering of your sauce? Well go ahead and give us the full recipe if you're so proudly boasting of the ingredients.

Yellow bird habanero fucks your shit up anyways. Better flavor and spicier.

Yellowturd has a gay label for children. Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce is for adults with refined pallets.

Yellowturd is flyover swill from Texass where they use swamp water and old spitoons to make their awful sauce. You're just mad because I'm always 'varkin and you're always seething.

Where my /VARKBOYS/ at? Got any recent #varktales to share?

>go to fancy restaurant
>order expensive food & wine
>survey available condiments
>sigh loudly, snap fingers to summon waiter
>Excuse me, boy, may I see your hot-sauce menu?
>"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't have one."
>Well, I already know what I want anyway. Fetch the Secret Aardvark, chop-chop.
>"The what, sir?"
>Se-cret Aard-vark? You know, the world's premier sauce?
>"Pardon me, sir, but I don't think we have that."
>Ah, so you ran out. That does tend to be a problem. You should inform your sauce-melier immediately. But fortunately... (wink & smile, reach inside jacket)... I always carry my own.

It's important to have this conversation loud enough for all patrons to hear.

Leave the bottle on the table with the logo facing outward. Before each bite, make a big show of opening the bottle, extracting a single drop of "red gold", and closing the bottle with a loud snap. Also frequently exclaim (to no one in particular) "Mmmm mmmm! That's my 'Vark!"

If anyone looks over, be sure to smile, wink, and hold up the bottle, in case they want to take a picture for social media. Of course you'll also want to get your own photo showing the bottle next to your meal and yourself leaning in, mouth agape at the zesty spice. (Don't forget to tag #varklife! One lucky winner this month will get a limited-edition Secret Aardvark® Nintendo Switch!™)

Last but not least, when paying the bill, on the "tip" line, write:

>'Vark goes great on 'za! :^)

In the #varklife, we call that a Coup d'Vark. #AlwaysVarkin

This is the definition of seethe with a side of cope because yellowbird is more successful than you'll ever be.

Explain why yellowbird is on store shelves around the country while you have to shill your garbage on a degenerate anime website?

From a safety perspective, I don't think so, because the vinegar & salt tend to keep nasties at bay. From a taste perspective, refrigeration could help to preserve flavor in the long term; you may have noticed that old sauce tends to turn gray as it oxidizes. But I never bother because (1) I want hot sauce, not cold sauce (lol XD uwu), and (2) I'll probably kill the bottle before it really matters.
