Information

Besætt Mango and Sea Buckthorn: the all rounder you reach for

Red chilli with mango and sea buckthorn, fermented and unpasteurised. This is Besætt answer to a Sriracha, but with more fruit and less sugar. It is made to be used on anything, and that is precisely the point: if you are only keeping one chilli sauce within reach, this is the one. Sea buckthorn gives an acidity you will not find in any ordinary chilli sauce. Besætt themselves call this one Rød, the red bottle in the range.

The all rounder in the range
Sriracha style with more fruit
Fermented and unpasteurised
Sea buckthorn gives unusual acidity

Sea buckthorn is one of the sourest berries growing in Norway, and that acidity is what separates this sauce from an ordinary chilli sauce. The mango lays sweetness underneath and makes the acidity edible, while red chilli, habanero and Carolina reaper share the heat across three layers that arrive one after the other. Shallot and garlic tie it together. The result is a sauce with enough breadth to be used every day without becoming dull.

Pro tip!
This one is best on eggs. Fried, scrambled, boiled and sliced on bread, all of it. The reason is that eggs are fatty and mild with no acidity of their own, which gives both the sea buckthorn and the heat the whole stage. Try a few drops over a soft boiled egg with flaky salt and you will see why the bottle belongs on the counter rather than at the back of the fridge.

Features

  • The all rounder: The one you reach for without thinking. Good on eggs, tacos, pizza, soup and rice.
  • Sea buckthorn gives unusual acidity: One of Norway sourest berries, and the reason this tastes different from a standard chilli sauce.
  • Three chillies in layers: Red chilli, habanero and Carolina reaper arriving one after the other rather than all at once.
  • Less sugar than a Sriracha: The sweetness comes from mango, not from added sugar.
  • No declarable allergens: Gluten free, lactose free and vegan.

How to use

  1. Shake the bottle well. The sauce is unpasteurised and separates naturally.
  2. Start with a few drops and taste your way forward.
  3. Add it after the heat, not before, and you keep the fruit.
  4. Use it as acidity in dressing, mayonnaise and sour cream, not only as a topping.
  5. Refrigerate the bottle after opening, and keep the spout clean.

FAQ Frequently asked questions

How hot is it?

Middle of the Besætt range, hotter than the yellow cayenne and milder than the jalapeño and pineapple. It carries three chillies and they arrive in layers: red chilli first, habanero underneath, and Carolina reaper as a short tail at the end. That makes the heat feel longer than it is high.

What is sea buckthorn?

Sea buckthorn is an orange berry that grows wild along the Norwegian coast. It is one of the sourest berries we have, with a fresh, almost citrus character. In this sauce it is the sea buckthorn that gives the acidity its identity and makes it taste different from an ordinary chilli sauce.

Can I use it instead of Sriracha?

Yes, it is built as an all rounder in the same genre. The difference is that the sweetness comes from mango rather than added sugar, and that the sea buckthorn brings an acidity a Sriracha does not have. It is also fermented and unpasteurised, so it has more depth and needs shaking before use.

Why does the bottle need shaking?

Because the sauce is unpasteurised. It is never heat treated after fermentation, so it is not stabilised the way a cooked sauce is. Solids and liquid separate naturally in the bottle, just as in an unfiltered juice. That is a sign the product is what it says it is. Shake until it is even again.

How long does an opened bottle last?

Vinegar and salt make this an acidic, well preserved product, and an opened bottle in the fridge normally keeps for months. Colour and flavour hold best when it is kept cold and dark. Keep the spout clean and follow the date printed on the bottle.

Is it gluten free and vegan?

Yes. The sauce is labelled gluten free, lactose free and vegan, and contains none of the 14 declarable allergens. It is also unpasteurised, so the lactic acid bacteria from the fermentation are still in the bottle.
