Kaani West African Hot Sauce

Kaani West African Hot Sauce

$18

What ketchup is to Americans, hot sauce is to Africans. It is at the heart of every meal and the cornerstone of African cuisine. Growing up in her native land, our Company Founder said it wasn’t unusual to delay eating a meal – after it was served – until a jar of Kaani sauce graced the table, to pass around or to spoon generous dollops into a huge communal bowl. Jainaba recalls vividly how even the tiniest drop of this spicy concoction elevated the dining experience and had the ability to transform her least favorite dishes into irresistible masterpieces.

With our award-winning Kaani sauce, she sought to recapture the magic of those nostalgic childhood experiences by using an heirloom family recipe that relies exclusively on fresh ginger root and sun-ripened habaneros for that endorphin rush. Each drop is meant to enhance your eating experience and add complexity to your favorite and not-so-favorite dishes. Use sparingly. A bit stirred into anything will immediately awaken the food and your taste buds.

Best habenero sauce hands down

We received a jar of this sauce as a gift to review on our tiktok page. We are blown away by its flavor. The perfect balance of habenero and garlic with just the right kick of ginger. We weren't expecting much as we try sauces on the regular, and usually don't care for habenero sauces at all as they are typically too floraly and pepper forward. But this blend is exceptional and has made its way onto our top 3 favorite sauces. We will definitely buy some more down the road!

HOT STUFF!

This was one of the hottest sauces I've tried in quite some time. The heat does not deter from the flavor. I used it on a bowl of Couscous. It's a sauce you keep eating as you think "How much more can I take?" One more bite, at least!

Extremely flavorful!

This sauce packs a very potent spice and helps bring out the flavor of any protein. I've used it on chicken, fish and tofu and it's delicious everytime!

The Sriracha of Africa!

This sauce adds a breath of life to any dish! Use sparingly, however. A little goes a long way.

Not the best product

The product is expensive and does not have good taste. African sauce should not have years of expiration.

Delicious and unique hot sauce

This is a fantastic pepper sauce. It has a really nice and unique chile pepper flavor and it is extremely spicy so just a spoonful or two go a long way in spicing up a dish.

    African Jerk PasteMild

    The historical origins of jerk-style cooking can be traced back to the Cormantee hunters of West Africa called the Maroons. During the British invasion of 1655, many of the Maroons were captured, enslaved and brought to Jamaica to work on the Sugar plantations. Some of these slaves escaped from their captors and spent years hiding out in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, where they practiced the cooking methods of their forefathers. Our Jerk pastes are inspired by the Maroons.

    We scoured the continent for the most exotic and exciting ingredients –the ones that tease the senses and tantalize the taste buds. Africa benefited from the spice trade during the era of colonization, incorporating the vast array of new spices into its recipes to add depth, dimension, intensity, flavor and heat.

    Much like our ancestors, we make our Jerk pastes in small batches with many exotic spices to capture the essence and complexity of true African-style Jerk.

    We start with a base of sweet and tart tamarind puree, zingy preserved lemon and Dijon mustard forte to create depth and dimension. Highly fragrant spices such as cloves, Vietnamese cinnamon and star anise are artfully added for intense aroma and flavor. Paprika brings smoky complexity. We then introduce pungent aromatics such as  ginger and garlic. Habanero peppers add fruity floral notes and fiery heat. Finally, a few other secret ingredients round out and balance flavors.

    Use our African jerk pastes on meat, poultry, seafood or tofu. Then grill, barbecue, bake or roast. Add to ground meat for burgers or to kebabs. You are only limited by your imagination.
