The Habanero pepper is also known in Costa Rica as the Panamanian pepper. It adds a spicy touch to all foods. It’s ideal for rice, meats and even salads. Enhance the flavor of any dish with this fiery, all-purpose salsa. Habanero, Jalapeño and Cayenne peppers are grown in the Costa Rican regions of Bagaces, Upala, Guápiles, Siquirres and Pocora at an altitude of 100 meters (328 feet) above sea level.

See our "chilometer" or spiciness chart and compare to other Jambo salsas.

“Jambo” is a very special word in the East African language of Swahili. It’s both a friendly greeting and a courteous response. If an East African were to say to you, “Jambo?”, it would mean “How are you?”. And if you were to reply “Jambo” it would mean, “I am very well.” We think it also makes a fine brand. These are 100% Costa Rican products created for Café Britt under the strictest standards of quality. Wondering how they taste? You have only to say “Jambo” to answer your own question – very well!

The hat-cap may be cute but is not practical.

My son & I love hot sauces. When we first tried the Habanero Hot Pepper Salsa we were blown away. The heat is subtle and not overpowering. The other ingredients delicately balance the Habanero. We now use 2 bottles every month. Favorite uses are as a dipping sauce for chicken and seafood.

Very flavorful, and very hot. Small amount is enough and ideal to bring dishes you like to life.

Applying Habanero Salsa to a grilled flank steak will make any meal an instant "hit" fit for a king and queen, not to mention any subjects that may be around due to the awesome aroma.
It equally works on grilled pork chops or, on a grilled pork tenderloin.
The crowds of people (neighbors) just keep yelling for more.
Of all the "fire sauces" you have I feel only this one deserves the "fire" Title as I found the others quite mild(this is just a personal observation);the others were fine in quality and flavor but I found them a bit mild for my personal taste.
The packaging is very unique and stylish; however I found only one of the caps out of the six different products I bought sealed properly after being opened the rest simply would not seal.

We put the bottle on the table while we were at a NASCAR race, everyone loved it. I have been asked to get more, a lot more and to try all of the HOT types.
