![]() This is probably the most versatile and plainly enjoyable hot sauce I tried from Heartbeat. I love a good sweet-spicy salsa or hot sauce, and this one totally nails the vibe-you can taste tantalizing pineapple, which effectively reins in the zingy spice from the habanero. For those looking for the lowdown on Heartbeat’s sauce selections, here were my favorites. However, a couple were addictively flavorful, and might make their way into a permanent slot in my erupting refrigerator shelf. I’m happy (but also slightly disappointed) to report that none of them were too spicy for me not by a long shot. Reluctantly, hoping to avoid that happening again (or, worse, a Homer Simpson-at-the-chili-cookoff kind of moment), I delved into the Heartbeat bottles. ![]() While I do love spicy food and can handle quite a lot of heat, I’m careful not to go too hard after what I now refer to as The Great 300,000 Scoville Unit Incident™ (aka when a few years ago I asked a server at a Mexican restaurant to bring me their hottest hot sauce and ended up really regretting it). I’d heard of Heartbeat before because some of its bottles are featured on the popular spicy food challenge show Hot Ones, but I hadn’t tried any of them, and was a bit nervous going into it. It uses fermented peppers and has no added water or preservatives, situating it as an “artisan” brand right up my alley. I was recently sent a few selections from Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co., a brand founded in 2015 and operating out of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
