Scorned Woman

Welcome to another Molten Sauce review! For many of us the weather is hot and oppressive and what better way to make it through these dog days than reading about hot and oppressive sauces? Today I wish to lead an excursion of words examining Scorned Woman Original Hot Sauce. This product it brought to us by Vita Food Products, a company founded in 1898 and located in Chicago, Il. Scorned Woman is based on a story of a woman named Ariel who was mistreated by her partner Phillipe. When confronted by an apologetic Phillipe, Ariel pretends to forgive him and yet parts ways with Phillipe, leaving him not knowing her context or whereabouts.
The label is colorful and draws the eye without being too busy or crowded. In the upper right appears a stylized drawing of a woman's face on a backdrop of flames. To the right is the Scorned Woman logo which, to this writer's, is simple and straightforward while expressing just enough individuality to separate it from the crowd. At the top there is, in a plain white font, the phrase "Don't Get Mad...Get Even". While I get the idea of that saying for a hot sauce, I found it to be slightly cheesy.
The consistency of our subject here is thin but not too thin. It has a pour that, while one should exercise a bit of control while administering as not to over pour, is not at all what I would tag as "runny". The sediment level is high here and I'm able to see black pepper bits and what is presumably tiny pepper remnants. It went on my tortilla chip-vector smoothly but with not too much velocity. All in all I'm very pleased with the viscosity.
The flavor is a somewhat layered without being overwhelming. At first there's a slight hint of sweetness intermingled with a low level of vinegar flavor and the suggestion of vegetables. This is followed by the peppery taste. I thought I caught a comforting garlic note but the ingredient wasn't present on the list. 
The heat is interesting for Scorned Woman. It's not too pointed at first, which led me, and maybe you too, to swallow maybe a little too quickly. The burn intensifies after a couple of seconds leaving a back of the throat burn that is relatively severe. I'm not very used to this so it had me scrambling for my cautionary glass of water. While this was the case, the scorch-factor is not so much that it makes the experience unpleasant. It just kind of "wakes you up".
This sauce is surprisingly well rounded and crafted for the price. At the time of this writing, it's going on Amazon for $6.30. Interestingly, Vita Food Products doesn't sell it (or any of their product apparently) on their site. But I recommend this sauce for collectors or even just fans out there. Enjoy yourselves and we'll explore more sauces soon!
